Netflix’s interactive shows arrive to put you in charge of the story
- tareqak 9y agoTechmeme's headline (too long to replace the original with): Netflix tests interactive episodes for kids which allow different storylines to be chosen, available on select smart TVs, Roku, and iOS devices
- metalliqaz 9y agoThis is neat. It's quite difficult to see this translating to adult shows, but it does seem to offer some promise for a future "remix" ecosystem on platforms like Netflix. Imagine there was a kind of "choose your own adventure" feature that allowed people to select any scenes in any order from the entire Netflix Originals catalogue, including deleted scenes, extended scenes, alternates, and bloopers. People could edit their own programs and share them. Imagine people editing their own version of Stranger Things down to a two-hour movie, or perhaps changing the entire plot to more of a bizarre high-school romance. It could be interesting.
