Your phone rings,\u00a0\u201cYou have been selected\u2026 your help is required \u2026 time is running out\u2026\u201d Searching for objects from the lost index holds the key to stabilising the changes. In response to their actions participants receive phone calls \u2013 fragmentary updates from which possible stories build. But as time runs out the uncertain future draws nearer and so too does the metamorphosis of the museum. Binaural soundscapes layered with ambient sounds stimulate perceptual illusions and combine with attention focusing techniques to alter the perception of the\u00a0environment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Binaural compositions simulate the aural qualities of the fictional locations whose sounds are plotted temporally and spatially within the different museums\u2019 rooms. Sounds are movement responsive and triggered by participants\u2019 own smartphones through novel uses of Bluetooth low energy \u2018iBeacons\u2019.\u00a0As the drama proceeds, the recorded auditory dimensions of the rooms\u2019 subtlety change that can affect the interpretation of sounds as live, recorded or imagined.<\/p>\n

Participants, in the role of protagonist, move simultaneously within the story\u2019s locations and museum, physically situating the player within a fictional world of the game.\u00a0The Lost Index: NATMUS develops William James\u2019s [6] radical empiricist insight as an approach to interactive narrative that plays with the contexts of players\u2019 beliefs, directing and misdirecting their attention and keeping knowing in transit.<\/p>\n
