If all you need to do is produce text it's very 'easy' to build a massive branching storyline with lots of failure conditions and truly modifying developments since text is cheap. I always thought it was a matter of economy more than anything else. What other ways can we attack a large domain like 'enterprise business apps' and take things away until left with a few simple composable primitives?

IDEs can already do this for imperative & object oriented programs, but you end up with a hairball, the visualization is not useful enough that we no longer need, for example, to write code in files. Maybe visualizing pure expressions as a tree of function calls or as an execution graph. World wide web - internet explorer, or htmlįunctional programming may be a way to narrow down the set of 'all programs' to a few primitives that can be modeled visually, but not take away so much that it is not useful for general purpose programs. The following domains have a bunch of stuff taken away from them, you're left with a narrow domain of very few concepts, and once narrowed it is intuitive to make a visual tool: This is all so obvious but it never solidified concretely like this for me until now. To vizualize a program in a useful way, is it an exercise in what you can take away? Take away everything so all you are left with is text nodes and links, and that is something easy to visualize. tells a story of Interlude/Eko and CYOA-ish innovation. 'Was it the nanoparticles, the microscope, the chicken, the laser, cancer, or the friendly graduate student? Well, here is some related content.' Done well, science education is like studying history - it's such a densely interwoven tapestry, that good advice is to start with what interests you, and by pulling that thread, pull in the world. Not just show a youtube science video, but use eye tracking to identify what aspects were of interest, and follow up on them. Not merely spoken dialog systems, but mentors that watch you and adjust to your interests.

This seems likely to arise in education as well. then we'll tell the story emphasizing them. With the next major generation of consumer VR likely to have eye tracking (to conserve GPU), videos and games that choose narrative based on inferred user interest seem likely to become a thing. Their recent work also illustrates CYOA is again becoming a hot area.
