Canvas Conversation Tales: A Web Application for Collaboratively Writing Imaginary Dialogues

Stefano Montanelli, Francesco Saverio Mula, Martin Ruskov

Abstract: We present Canvas Conversation Tales (CCT), an edutainment web application for creating imaginary dialogues about paintings. To encourage participation, CCT employs techniques like introductory onboarding, possible story branching, expression of story preferences, and chat among users. This demo invites users to explore two usage scenarios of CCT, namely the development of a new story, and the creation of a new branch based on an existing story developed by others. We expect the first scenario to engage users open to express their creativity, and the second scenario - those willing to questions and discussions about the conversations of others.
