The Open Community
The INSCAPE Open Community Concept
The INSCAPE project wants to involve end-users and potential creative authors in each stage of the development of the proposed authoring software toolbox for interactive storytelling. The specifications for this tool will be driven by an analysis of the needs of real world users participating in the project as partners or involved in the INSCAPE Open Community.
Through the lifetime of the project the INSCAPE integrated system will be available in successive version (alpha, beta, final) provided to the end-users, including the Open Community, for purposes of validation on real-cases, demonstration and training.
The Open Community is an open and large community of potential users and interested parties composed of creators, content providers, art professionals, researchers, teachers, scientists, industrials, students, citizens, gamers, tourists etc. It is free network of creatives who are working within interactive storytelling to get inspiration and exchange and to initiate discussions about requirements and tools different people are using.
Open Community Members:
- profit from an exchange and cooperation with other people working with interactive storytelling around the world;
- are able to contribute to the development of an innovative tool which will enter market after 2008;
- are among the first users to try out its functionalities.
The Consortium wants to make a leap forward in the technologies which support creative interactive storytelling. We would like to work with you as potential end-user to be one of the first to learn about the results, use and test the developed technologies at early stages and provide feed-back and input in how to optimize for broad use and roll out.
