SMC Tales

Due to technical problems, this project has been cancelled and redirected/joined to the Augmented Soundscapes project. If you are interested in this project, please, contact Vincent Akkermans (name.surname -at- upf -dot- edu).

Description:

The goal of the ‘SMC tales’ workshop is to develop a mobile phone application for collaborative story telling. The phone will be used during the conference to extract from the visitors a story that they create together. The story is formed by adding a recording of a single sentence at a time. But before the story can be extended, the story teller is presented with the last five recordings in the story. They can then choose to advance the story in whatever way they want. After the new storyteller has recorded a sentence, he can transform his voice to a robot, a kid, an old woman, and other types of voices. When satisfied with the result, the recording, together with a picture of the storyteller, gps data, possibly any subjective annotations, is uploaded to a server. The resulting story can then be listened to by visiting the ‘SMC tales’ website.
