 Abstract

Most of the content creation applications that are currently common in use are regular PC applications with simulated 3D visualisation on a 2D screen and indirect interaction through a mouse and keyboard. Augmented Reality (AR) is a medium that can provide actual 3D visualisation and more hands-on interaction for these applications. This thesis explores how AR can be used for story authoring, a specific type of content creation. Both types of existing AR interfaces, tangible and touch-less were explored and combined in a useful way. The Story ARtist application was developed to evaluate the designed interactions and AR visualisation for story authoring. Its interface combines tangible and touch-less interactions in the form of physical markers and hand tracking input. A tabletop environment is used to visualise the story authoring elements dynamically, using the 3D space that AR provides. Story authoring is kept simple for accessibility, with a plot point structure focused on core story elements like actions, characters and objects. A user study was done with the concept application to evaluate the designed AR interaction and visualisation for story authoring. The results show that AR has considerable potential for story authoring.
