  • Abstract
    In general, multimedia is nothing without a story. The original storytellers - think Homer´s The Iliad - memorized long stories, with plenty of emotional content, and delivered them in a highly entertaining (and possibly interactive) manner. Music, movies, and video games are perhaps today´s most popular forms of story-telling. The multimedia field is contributing to the evolution of these forms by summarizing long video sequences, discovering patterns in related content, or developing techniques for generating stories. The best question we can ask is, how can multimedia systems create better user experiences?
