ARTales is a team at the CMU Entertainment Technology Center dedicated to exploring storytelling through the new medium of Augmented Reality. Technology today has been intertwined with various forms of artistic expression, and the marriage of AR with the narrative form is our goal for this project. We aim to change the approach towards storytelling by focusing on the interaction between the real, the digital, and the guest. The current AR-based technology is still in its infancy, so we hope to experiment with its features, harness its potential, and test different possibilities to expand on what a story can achieve.
Our current goal is to create a 6 minute story-driven immersive experience for the Magic Leap to explore how a story can be uniquely told within the AR medium.
