"The R&D Prototyping team has recently built an internal prototype for BBC Vision called the Mythology Engine. It's a proof-of-concept for a website that represents BBC drama on the web letting you explore our dramas, catch up on story-lines, discover new characters and share what you find. "

People feel they understand complex phenomena with far greater precision, coherence, and depth than they really do; they are subject to an illusion-an illusion of explanatory depth. The illusion is far stronger for explanatory knowledge than many other kinds of knowledge, such as that for facts, procedures or narratives. The illusion for explanatory knowledge is most robust where the environment supports real-time explanations with visible mechanisms

"The BBC is developing personalised dramas, radio shows that talk directly to listeners, and technology to record live events remotely, as it looks to shape the future of broadcasting."

"Interactive video, personalization and advanced analytics. For all your videos."

With 'Road Tales', Volkswagen wants to bring imagination back to where it has always belonged: the back seat. 'Road Tales' is developed for Dutch children between 4-11 years old and can be downloaded for free. The app uses a custom developed story-engine that creates unique tales based on the location of the user. To allow the stories to react to the environment, the Amsterdam based agency has scanned all Dutch highways to identify objects like bridges, windmills, trees, petrol stations and other main objects to transform them into story elements.

The following are a broad set of categories and trends that our research identified as "emerging media" as of early 2017

"The BBC wants to make videos that change to suit whoever's watching. It's exploring the idea through a research project called Visual Perceptive Media"

"The move towards end-to-end IP between media producers and audiences will make new broadcasting systems vastly more agnostic to data formats and to diverse sets of consumption and production devices. In this world, object-based media becomes increasingly important; delivering efficiencies in the production chain, enabling the creation of new experiences that will continue to engage the audience and giving us the ability to adapt our media to new platforms, services and devices."

"Content will always matter, so as the culture"

"Time is over for shared experiences when watching TV. Based on the answers you give in an app, this video will adjust the story based on your personality and even your mood. Two people won't be watching the same again. "

"Doing things for a purpose through the (new) medium of broadcasting From virtual reality uprisings to cooking shows that respond as you slice and dice, the team at BBC R&D share their very latest experiments and ideas."

" Everything we know transmedia wrong by Dan Hon "

"Interactive narrative is an emerging art form that borrows from multiple disciplines. It's a telescoping and a presentation of a series of events. Consequently we can think of writing a narrative as interface design. Mark Meadows explains the art of narrative in this article."

"Steven Soderbergh's latest project-an interactive smartphone app called Mosaic-required covering most of the walls in a Chelsea loft with color-coded cards and notes. The app contains a 7-plus-hour miniseries about a mysterious death, but because viewers have some agency over what order they watch it in and which characters' stories they follow, each scene-and the point at which it should be introduced-had to be meticulously planned so that no detail was revealed too late or too soon. "

The Ripple Mapping Tool is an interactive data visualization platform for social movements and community organizers. It allows community members to tell stories about how events and programs impacted their lives, and generates "ripple maps" that show the long term outcomes of interconnected organizing efforts.

"TwoStep is a JavaScript library for "scrollytelling", which is dynamically changing charts (or triggering whatever) as text scrolls into view. It implements best practices for scrollytelling, which means built-in keyboard shortcuts, no scrolljacking and reliable "sticky" behaviour."
