Interactive systems and affective science

Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Psychology - Cognition, grade: 2, University of Vienna, course: Cognitive Science, language: English, abstract: This thesis investigates a recent form of digital narrative, known as interactive drama. One of the main attractions of narratives, independentof the medium in which they are presented, is that they elicit emotionalresponse in their audiences. They have an affective impact. In this workI argue that an interactive drama, based on a model of the user s affectivestate, should be able to provide a truly immersive user experience.
