So right now, I've just started working with Khoya in it's second avatar with the Toy Lab (website coming sooooon)
I've been thinking about all the narrative possibilities with the I-pad and how 'storytelling' would evolve through it.
So far, a lot of the narrative explorations with the Ipad haven't really opened up to what 'Touch' can do to a story, they seem to be a translation of a book onto
another medium with minor adaptations like being able to turn a page or make somethings on screen move around.
Imagine...it's the first time we have here Word, Image, Sound, Movement, Time and Touch come together to create a narrative experience.

It's fascinating! :)
As you may remember, 'Khoya' means lost, and it's a fantasy narrative for children and adults about the disappearing natural world and the power of the imagination to re-establish a link with childhood, with love and with nature.
In the second chapter, it deals entirely with the Earth element and becomes a journey into the imagination. I've just about started initial interactive explorations with the Ipad but some of the ideas are turning out to be very exciting and unlike anything I've ever heard before.
Bringing together the technological and the tangible. Magic and Machinery. :)
