REFINING MY RESEARCH FOR CONSULTATION

After my consultation and experimentation last week, I felt that I had a clearer grasp of my research objectives. The primary aim is to explore the intersection between human behavior and interactions, focusing on how individuals perceive and interpret their experiences. I'm interested in understanding human-computer interactions, which, at their core, are both universal and deeply personal. I would like to investigate the transition from mass-produced interactions to personalised, socially produced experiences. In terms of research questions, I'd like to explore:

  1. How do various sensory stimuli in the interactive environment contribute to a participant's sense of immersion and impact their narrative construction?
  2. To what extent does the design of the immersive environment influence a participant's sense of subjectivity?
  3. How do biases manifest during an immersive experience?
  4. Can certain narratives lead to desensitization to specific concepts?
  5. What distinguishes a group experience from an individual one?
  6. How does the interplay between narrative structure and perspective affect a viewer's ability to differentiate between fact and fiction in a story?.

Fundamentally, my core intention revolves around crafting an interactive narrative that empowers users to make their own choices and chart their unique path within the narrative. This approach serves a dual purpose:

  1. To emphasise that their actions carry consequences within the storyline,
  2. To generate a data visualization outcome that captures real-time data on the choices users make.

The goal here is to showcase and analyse how individuals navigate and interact with the narrative, shedding light on the intricate interplay between user choices and the resulting storyline developments.
