Interaction paradigm thought exercise

[burrage]

In preparation for Sprint 13-- zoom in for nouns, subsection of animation for verbs, what happens during auto-narration only, etc. etc.

[burrage]

Auto-narration will tightly tie the main animation of the page to a particular page keyword. The page keyword being a single pedagogical focal point of the page and can either be a noun or verb that we are desiring to ascribe meaning to through animation graphics, text, and audio linkage. The main animation will play when that particular keyword is triggered during auto-narration.

The reader is given freedom to interact at any point, including throughout the duration of auto-narration, without consequence or limitation. This includes touches which should occur based on their normal interaction paradigms.

These paradigms include:

• Stopping any animation that is currently occurring if a word or graphic is pressed that requires an animation to play.
• Resetting the animation to the first frame hold state and zooming in on a particular graphic if a corresponding noun text is touched.
• Displaying a subsection of a full page animation if a verb, that isn't the page keyword, is touched.
• Replaying the full animation again if the keyword text is touched.
• Playing the full animation again if the graphic is touched in its finished final frame.

For discussion:

• What to do when multiple noun graphics are available to be touched at any point. A.) If noun graphic is touched during an animation, try to determine what object was touched, reset to first frame, and play zoom in. If not possible to determine the object touched, replay the full page animation and link to the keyword. B.) Ignore the touch and let text interactions guide the playing of new animations.
