Exploration in Digital Literature

Using mechanics and technology to engage the reader


When looking through a city as authentic as Edinburgh, the rate at which the reader walks depends on the way the reader interacts with the changing surroundings. When the reader desires to have a quick overview of the city, the walking pace quickens. On the other hand, when the reader catches a glimpse of something of interest, the walking pace may slow down or even stop to take a closer look. This work applies this concept and allows the reader to navigate through the cite at different paces by clicking on four different options including the "walk more quickly", "walk more slowly", "take another walk", "stop walking", and "walks about" phrases on the top right corner. The attached video gives a better visual representation of how clicking on each of the phrases can impact the time at which each page switches from one bus route stop to another.
