Abstract:

Traditional storytelling is often constrained by linear structures, limiting engagement and interactivity. This research explores how AI-generated MR environments can enhance storytelling through speech-driven interactions, real-time adaptive narratives, and Tactile feedback. Users speak to real-world objects, transforming them into AI-generated characters and 3D elements that shape the story. A GPT-4-powered LLM ensures narrative consistency, while haptic feedback enhances immersion.
Using Research Through Design (RTD) , this study develops prototypes to investigate how AI generated storytelling elements integrate with physical space and influence user engagement. The findings contribute to MR storytelling, AI-native games, and interactive media, reimagining storytelling at the intersection of human creativity and AI-generated worlds.
