Key research themes

1. How does narrative function as a tool in design to influence user experience and product meaning?

This research area investigates the integration of storytelling and narrative constructs within the design of products, services, and user interactions. It highlights the role of narrative in shaping user perceptions, emotional connections, and the plausibility of future scenarios, situating narrative not merely as storytelling but as a core design tool affecting wellbeing, engagement, and meaning-making.

Key finding: This study identifies six distinct mechanisms through which products and services enable user narratives that align with personal archetypes (based on Jungian theory), influencing psychological wellbeing. It argues for... Read more
Key finding: The paper conceptualizes the aesthetic dimension of storytelling as a cognitive technology critical for generating plausibility in narratives, a factor more influential than mere probability in human decision-making. Through... Read more
Key finding: This work conceptualizes storytelling as a latent potential within product design that establishes an emotional and conceptual dialogue between products and users. It identifies frameworks involving narrative, manufacture,... Read more

2. What design approaches and conventions support effective creation and evaluation of interactive digital narratives (IDN)?

This research theme focuses on understanding and formalizing design processes, heuristics, and pedagogical frameworks necessary to advance interactive digital narrative as a distinct design discipline. The works explore theoretical foundations, empirical evaluation methods, pedagogy for training creators, and the cultural and complexity-representation roles of IDN, addressing a significant gap in establishing generalized authoring conventions and evaluation methodologies.

Key finding: This paper categorizes existing scholarly treatments of interactive narrative authoring into high-level abstract descriptions, dichotomic approaches juxtaposing narrative with game design, and case-specific design projects.... Read more
Key finding: The authors propose an integrative framework unifying theory, practice, pedagogy, and cultural dimensions to guide IDN research. Grounded in Koenitz’s theoretical model, the paper identifies the cultivation of design... Read more
