Abstract

See full text

Methods and apparatus are provided for user interaction with a branch-structured narrative entertainment, where user input influences the selection of paths at branch points. A user interface (14) holds a record of the narrative structure (48) with the audio and video components being called up from remote or local storage as required. A record is kept (52) of previous user interactions during a narrative and, for one or more branch points, path selection is made by the apparatus at least partially on the basis of the accumulated record.
