Abstract
This chapter presents the main findings of the Wanderbarer Salzburgfuehrer, an interactive, mobile explorer for the historical city of Salzburg. The city explorer was developed as part of the INTERREG IIIB CADSES project Heritage Alive!, and aimed at exploring and testing interactive narrative approaches in presenting cultural heritage content to the residents of Salzburg. In particular we wanted to test how interactive storytelling techniques can foster the local residents experience in exploring their own city’s cultural heritage. The city explorer presented the less-prominent heritage of Salzburg and followed a moderate constructivist narrative approach. The interactive storytelling techniques that were applied included various interactive features. To some extent users were also encouraged to create content and share their thoughts and ideas with other users. A central element in engaging users actively was to allow them to create their own paths through the city by using the mobile explorer’s dynamic navigation system.
