We spoke to Peter Rippon, Editor of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Online Archive, about the latest Your Story reincarnation.
Is this idea a new version of Your Story?
Your ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Moments is the second iteration of Your Story, which created a timeline that connected key moments in your life, and some of biggest events that have happened in your lifetime. What followed was a global version developed using the great feedback we got.
The idea was then picked up and Your ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Moments was born.
So how does this differ from the previous versions?
We have created a personalised experience that demonstrates how the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ has been there throughout people’s lives and provided some of their best-loved moments. The technology behind it is pretty much the same. Your ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Moments is a browser-based, 'parallax'-scrolling style (like old computer games like Sonic or Super Mario) interactive storytelling experience. It has been built by the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Rewind team in ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Northern Ireland which includes technology experts and journalists.
There have been some tweaks to the user experience and there is also an admin area where we can curate what moments will be served to audiences.
