Abstract
As technology evolves, media changes, and the existing paradigms fail to describe the emerging platforms. When a new form emerges, it can be seen as a blend of the existing narrative philosophies. Today emerging narrative platforms, like VR and portable media apps, have qualities of interactive media (games), literature, and video, but lack a coherent overarching structure. Through an abstraction of J. L. Austin's performative formula from “Speech Act Theory”, the designer’s intended psychological effect of narrative devices become more clearly understood, judged, applied, and translated across different platforms. This paper documents an applied project, Tuba-Goose, that engages linguistic structures defined by Austin with visual design choices to create a digital storybook using animation, interaction, and text.
