- Digital storytelling approaches in virtual museums: umbrella review of systematic reviewsPublication . Lacet, Demetrius; Van Zeller, Maria; Martins, Paulo; Morgado, LeonelMuseums have the mission of promoting and safeguarding objects of historical value and have undergone several modifications over time to take the focus off the object and give more importance to information and the visitor. Currently they encompass different types of experiences, either through digital and interactive elements, or through new approaches, such as storytelling, which has acted as a protagonist of these transformations. In this sense, the museum in the digital mode, known as virtual museum, plays an important role in this sharing of information and experiences. However, by having different modalities for navigation and interaction, especially in formats that simulate the physical visit, like virtual tours, they present some problems that have been identified in the literature, such as, solitary visit, lack of script to follow and little interaction with the exhibited objects. This literature review was conducted between 2013-2021 and 14 papers were selected for analysis. The results support the understanding of the role of narratives and the way museums use them in the virtual space and highlights the gaps of knowledge on the use of storytelling in this context.
- Work-in-progress: the role of immersion when designing characters for adapting textual narratives into comic strips for online higher education: trials prototyping charactersPublication . Bonfim, Cristiane; Lacet, Demetrius; Morgado, Leonel; Pedrosa, DanielaA critical factor in immersive educational narratives is identification by students with the characters. In this work-in-progress analyzes the process of rendering characters from textual narratives into visual form by non-artists (i.e., instructors). We tried to match archetypes with their visual representation through the platforms: Pixton, Powtoon (both 2D) and The Sims4 (3D). The limitations of characterization can impact students' narrative immersion. As future work we intend to test with the target group and observe the improvements needed to increase identification and sense of immersion in the narrative.
- Magical Board Theatre: interactive stories that can be played on multiple boards: two educational prototypesPublication . Lacet, Demetrius; Penicheiro, Filipe; Morgado, LeonelInteractive storytelling uses in education are limited by the time required for its production and the ephemeral nature of interaction systems, leading inter-active stories to have a short usefulness life. We have developed the concept of platform-independent interactive stories, called virtual choreographies, enabling interactive stories to be replayed on novel technological platforms as they emerge, tackling the second half of this problem. The first part was also approached via a graphical storyboarding approach. Both aspects have been prototyped in a demonstration, called Magical Board Theatre (“Teatro de Tabuleiro Mágico”, original Portuguese name). We present this prototype, including its storyboarding tool, summarize the virtual choreographies ap-proach, and demonstrate how the prototype operationalizes them with story and platform examples.
- Ensaios de transposição de narrativas textuais para plataformas digitais 2d e 3d aplicadas ao ensino superior a distânciaPublication . Bonfim, Cristiane; Lacet, Demetrius; Morgado, Leonel; Pedrosa, Daniela; Cardoso, Ana Paula; Tavares, Dina; Santos, Filipe; Pinto, Hélia; Dias, Isabel Simões; Fonseca, Marta; Duarte, Nicole; Morouço, Pedro; Tadeu, Pedro; Matos, Rui; Milhano, SandrinaAs narrativas textuais têm sido utilizadas de diversas formas na educação. Analisámos as narrativas empregues num caso de abordagem didática baseada em aprendizagem situada, autorregulação e corregulação das aprendizagens, e avaliação formativa, designada e-SimProgramming, numa unidade curricular (UC) de Engenharia Informática do ensino superior português a distância. Visou-se neste trabalho verificar quais as adaptações necessárias para a transposição destas narrativas para os formatos 2D (em BD, Banda Desenhada) e 3D, com a expetativa de impulsionar uma maior imersividade dos estudantes nas narrativas. A UC é desenvolvida em seis tópicos sequenciais com conteúdos e atividades acedidas pelos estudantes de forma assíncrona na platafor-ma Moodle. Neste contexto, a UC utiliza atualmente narrativas em formato textual, desenvolvidas utilizando a técnica OC2RD2, com o objetivo de provocar o sentimento de “imersão na história”. A metodologia aplicada neste ensaio de transposição foi a DSR Design Science Research, com vista a identificar métodos eficazes para essa transposição. Foram realizados dois ensaios na fase de Design do Artefato da DSR, de cocriação interdisciplinar, para a transposição das narrativas tex-tuais de um dos tópicos da UC. As ferramentas utilizadas nestes ensaios de transposição foram a Magic Board Theater (3D) e a Banda Desenhada Player (2D), descritas em trabalho anterior. Os ensaios de transposição foram realizados a partir da adaptação dos elementos (personagens e ce-nários) pré-existentes nas ferramentas, ou seja, descontextualizados dos idealizados para a UC. Na análise comparativa entre as plataformas 2D e 3D, constatou-se que a plataforma de visualização de BD atende melhor aos requisitos da UC em seu contexto de oferta a distância, tendo em consi-deração fatores como: visualização sem tempo pré-definido; acesso sem necessidade de grande largura de banda de Internet; conexão com ficheiros externos dentro do contexto dos diálogos (in-clusivamente ficheiros multimédia); responsividade e fácil integração com a plataforma Moodle e permite imprimir ou exportar as narrativas para formato externo. Pelos resultados preliminares é possível afirmar que a transposição dos elementos de narrativas textuais para BD é uma opção viável e a ser considerada para o uso de narrativas no Ensino Superior a Distância em Cursos de Informática na transição do nível básico para o avançado.
- Frontiers of the past in the digital world: multidisciplinary collaboration in the 3D reconstitution of medieval border townsPublication . Cuesta-Gómez, Fabián; Trindade, Luísa; Silva, Gonçalo Melo da; Alves, Tiago; Filipe, João; Lscet, Demetrius; van Zeller, Maria; Morgado, Leonel; Prata, Sara; Coelho, António; Costa, Adelaide MillánThe virtual reconstitution of Castelo de Vide, Portugal, within the FRONTOWNS project, highlights the challenges and successes of multidisciplinary collaboration in heritage preservation through 3D modeling. The goal was to reconstruct the town’s urban evolution, focusing on its role as a border settlement from the 13th to 16th centuries. The project combined archaeological evidence, historical sources, and digital technologies like photogrammetry and 3D scanning. Co-creation workshops aligned diverse knowledge, leading to creative solutions that balanced historical accuracy and technical feasibility. Despite budget constraints, it produced a highquality digital reconstitution with insights for future virtual heritage projects.
