DramaTour: Character-enacted Dramatized Presentations on Mobile Device

This paper presents a novel methodology for creating information presentations based on a dramatization of the exposition. The methodology has been applied in the implementation of a virtual guide on a mobile device for an historical site. On the one side, the author plots the presentation as the monologue of a character, who exhibits an engaging inner conflict; on the other side, the system architecture dynamically assembles the elementary units of the plot scripted by the author by implementing a dramatic tension between contrasting presentation styles.
