Abstract:
"This thesis investigates the methods of enabling audience participation within crossplatform intellectual properties that involve animation. As means of distribution and material generation become more available to the consumers of animated content, the development of stories and channels for direct audience feedback and collaboration offers new ways to enhance the feeling of immersion within a story world. The goal of this thesis is to explore the use of participation interfaces in story as a tool for increasing the opportunities audiences have to immerse themselves in pre-developed story content."
