Abstract

In one embodiment, a technique includes receiving a first story fragment from a storyteller interface of a first computing system. The technique further includes displaying the first story fragment on an audience interface of a second computing system. The technique also includes detecting a trigger on the audience interface of the second computing system. In the technique, the trigger corresponds to the first story fragment. The technique also includes identifying a special effect associated with the trigger. The technique further includes outputting the special effect and the first story fragment on at least one of the storyteller interface displayed on the first computing system and the audience interface displayed on the second computing system.
