A non-linear story told by generative AI, experienced in a 3D world (VR). This is the outline of the idea for such a project using Agile Methodology. This repo sets out to describe the product and outcomes of such an idea. It can be freely copied, modified, and distributed. This serves as the framework for and inspiration for such an application. The goal is to see this developed by someone or an entity that is capable of implementing such a project. The author of this project requests only that the source of the concept be tied back to this repository should it be the inspiration for or the basis for such an application.
AI-Driven Interactive Storytelling in Virtual Reality
Given the advances in large language models to produce content that is creative, engaging and thoughtful we propose that AI agents should be able to help craft, tell and show users a story - based on the user's suggested content.
A user should be able to provide the system with a prompt, a setting, time period or other inspiration for the agents to craft a new and creative story. Working together the agents will then work on providing the user with the story in the form of a generated virtual world.
Given that AI models are capable of producing content such as code, text and images we propose to extend their capabilities into the ability (training) to create virtual worlds by implementing a generative language model focused on producing 3D content. The model would construct a virtual scene and work with a master model to generate the story content that matches the world the user is experiencing.
Develop a prototype that combines generative AI and VR technologies to create immersive, interactive, and non-linear storytelling experiences. The project aims to explore the potential of AI-generated narratives in VR environments, allowing users to engage with dynamic stories that evolve based on their actions and choices.
By creating a unique and engaging storytelling experience, the project aims to attract attention from investors, collaborators, and the broader public. The prototype could serve as the foundation for a commercial product or platform, opening up new markets and opportunities in the entertainment, education, and training sectors.
The project will be considered successful if the prototype demonstrates:
- Effective integration of generative AI and VR technologies
- High-quality, engaging, and immersive narrative experiences
- Interactivity and non-linear storytelling elements
- Positive feedback from users and stakeholders
- Integration of generative AI models (e.g., ChatGPT) for narrative generation
- Development of VR environments and assets using platforms like Unity
- Implementation of interactive storytelling mechanics and character interactions
- Support for multi-user experiences and social interaction
- Iterative development and testing process to refine and improve the prototype
- Technical challenges related to AI integration and VR development
- Potential legal or ethical concerns related to AI-generated content
- Availability of skilled resources across different domains (AI, VR, game design, etc.)
- User acceptance and engagement with AI-driven storytelling experiences
