Hyperliterature
it's hard to add visualizations to a text-driven story without it being gimmicky or distracting.<p>i can't really think of an example of hyperliterature that has stuck with me outside of the annoying bloomberg article animations they tried for 6 months and dropped sometime last year<p>i think that's why plot-rich video games are so popular as an alternative means of storytelling - they're based around really good writing, but also involve some core interactive mechanics that keep the audience engaged, challenged, and empathetic rather than distracted or frustrated<p>interesting concept, can it be extended outside of a few webpages and apps?
