Vimeo: A new way to interact with fiction (via Make)
Wie toll: Eine Schreibmaschinem mit der man den Textadventure-Klassiker Zork spielen kann! Johnathan Guberman verfolgt mit seinem Automatypewriter noch weitreichendere Pläne, mir persönlich würde das Zork-Dings aber schon vollkommen reichen:
"Introducing the Automatypewriter, a new way to experience interactive fiction! It’s still a little rough around the edges ... but you get the idea: the Automatypewriter is a typewriter that can type on its own, as well as detect what you type on it. By reading what it types to you and responding, it can be used interactively to play a game or participate in a story (in this case, Zork). Though the medium may be the message, a games platform is only as good as its content. To that end I’m collaborating with novelist, graphic novelist, filmmaker, community organizer, and award-winning interactive fiction developer Jim Munroe, who is creating custom software specifically tailored to the Automatypewriter."
