Interactive storytelling is gaining new possibilities with the rise of novel technology trends, such as extended reality (XR) and AI. In this interdisciplinary one-day workshop, we address the possibilities the interactive technologies and HCI can offer in interactive storytelling and sharing narratives for communities, cultural heritage, and for engaging larger user groups. The workshop also addresses how the future of interactive storytelling is shaped so that the human and more-than-human aspects are not forgotten and pluralism and different voices can be heard. In this workshop, researchers and practitioners will share their research and discuss the current trends and topics in interactive storytelling, where the possible application areas range from cultural heritage to education, entertainment, tourism, and wellness.
