“…This is giving rise to new "post-symbolic" languages that incorporate gestures, emotions, and even cognitive processes (as, e.g., in BCI). As claimed by Knoller and Ben-Arie [17], this trajectory of increasingly rich interfaces calls for a reexamination of the IDN's heritage and current practice in relation to these new developments, as these technological platforms provide new multimodal and interactive modes for meaning-making [18].…”

XR technologies are increasingly considered as expressive media with special qualities for narrative representation. In this chapter, we chart some of the major challenges inherent in the implementation of digital narratives in XR. For this purpose, we consider the intersections between different research domains like classical and post-structural narratology, cognitive narratology, literary studies, computer science, game research, cognitive science, and particularly interactive digital narratives (IDN) and storytelling. As with IDN, many of the challenges of implementing narratives in XR have to do with the trade-offs between interactivity and immersion. In this direction, we aim to contribute to the bridging between the IDN and XR research domains. We elaborate on specific issues in IDN that may require particular care in XR, such as agency, embodiment, narration, "point of view technologies, " artificial agents, and AI. Additionally, we provide examples of different application domains in games, serious games, cultural experiences, healthcare, and immersive journalism. To conclude, we highlight the eminent role of narrative cognition in XR and suggest a roadmap for combining XR technologies, cognitive sciences, advanced biometric signals processing, and storytelling techniques for investigating ways we interact cognitively with stories and the effects of XR narratives on the human emotional-cognitive system.

“…We further developed a system of 38 descriptors for the analysis and comparison of authoring tools, which attempts to describe which place a particular tool occupies on the widest definition available of the IDN expressive space. The underlying theoretical insights were gleaned primarily from two complementary theoretical models that strive to comprehensively describe the space of IDN/IDS: Koenitz's SPP model [11], which regards IDN as a system, and Knoller's userly text model [25][26][27], which regards IDS as interactive experience (see also a proposed synthesis of these two models in [4]). These insights were then crystallised into a list of descriptors describing what qualities of authoring tools are most pertinent and may be deducible via direct examination of tools themselves: their interface, design process, usage, etc.…”

“…Because our current list of descriptors traces the existing field of authoring tools, it isn't future proof, as it does not address what may be significant for the design of future authoring tools. We are particularly curious about tools that would model and connect the design of interfaces [50,51,54], interaction models and user experience [25,52] with narrative designparticularly through embodied\gestural interfaces [26,53]. These are accounted for in our models, as well as in IDN artefacts, but are at best implicit in IDN-specific authoring tools.…”

Authoring tools are a crucial component in the practice and research of interactive digital narrative design, yet no recent meta-analysis or mapping of such tools exists that would make it possible to comparatively study their defining qualities and characteristics and their effects on the artefacts produced with them. As a first step towards this goal, we created an online resource [1] in which we surveyed and classified over 300 tools. This paper lays out our proposed categorisation and description framework for IDN authoring tools. After exploring our definition of authoring tools and research methodology, we describe 9 categories and 38 descriptors for tool analysis and comparison. We conclude with a sample analysis of Twine [2].
