In this project, we explore the use of an augmented reality visualization interface combined with a sketch-based interaction interface. We present a storytelling system able to dramatize interactive narratives in augmented reality over a conventional sheet of paper. The system allows users to freely interact with virtual characters by sketching objects on the paper. The system recognizes the hand-drawn sketches and converts the drawings into virtual objects in the 3D story world.

Prototype Application:
The prototype application developed to test our system is based on an overly simplified "Swords and Dragons" genre. The virtual world is populated by three main characters: the charming, narcissistic, and lonely princess Marian, who lives under strict protection at a palace; a brave young knight, sir Brian, in love with the princess; and the evil dragon, Draco, constantly waiting for a chance to kidnap the princess. The virtual world is composed of four places: the princess's palace, the dragon forest, a church and the forest where the wandering hero dwells. Users are able to interact with the virtual characters by sketching on a paper. For the prototype application, the following six items are recognizable, whose presence can somehow affect the storyline: a "hand mirror", which may divert the princess's eyes while increasing her level of joy; a "sword", which Brian would gladly wield to supplement his bodily strength; a "shield", adequate for the hero's defense; a "magic stone", that can dangerously increase Draco's strength; a "rat", which can serve either to distract the dragon's attention, or to scare princess Marian; and a "poison bottle", a possible inducement to Marian or Brian to commit suicide in desperate situations.
