The Mythology Engine - representing stories on the web
Ed's note: There's a new post at the R&D blog about a prototype they've built that re-presents TV dramas on the web in a very user-orientated way. It uses Doctor Who and EastEnders and there's a video demo. It's exciting stuff. (PM)
The R&D Prototyping team has recently built an internal prototype for Â鶹Éç Vision called the Mythology Engine. It's a proof-of-concept for a website that represents Â鶹Éç drama on the web letting you explore our dramas, catch up on story-lines, discover new characters and share what you find.
Most TV drama on the web is either deep and detailed fan-produced sites or visually rich but shallow sites from the broadcasters. We believe there is a middle way and it seems like there's a space for something here. Something that expresses the richness and depth of the stories that the Â鶹Éç creates.
