posted on 2009-11-10, 14:10 authored by Mark Madden, Paul Chung, Christian DawsonChristian DawsonThis paper describes the motivation, proposal, and early prototype testing of a computer
tool for story visualisation prior to storywriting. An analysis of current software for making
various types of visual story is made; this identifies a gap between software which
emphasises preset banks of artwork, and software which emphasises low-level
construction and/or drawing. A proposal is made to fill this gap, and a prototype
implementation of the proposal is described in the context of a school-based study with
Year 5, covering ages 9-10 years. Results from this prototype study both validate the novel
proposal made and demonstrate that children are capable of more complex graphical
interaction than most current software permits.
