2 cents:
probably will give the old hypertext novel the chance to become something more than a multiple-choice plot. Will certainly set the "show, don't tell" on its head.
I always had this crazy idea of interactive art, where what you see is adapted to your mood through an introductory questionnaire. Objects become pink or yellow or storm cloud gray according to how you feel.
What if you could do something like that? Not just a puzzle of scenes with multiple pathways connecting them, but the pathways changing by how you feel?
Perhaps yesterday you were still hopeful that the slightly annoying sidekick would develop some backbone, but after the day you had at work, right now, it would be far more fulfilling to have something horrible happen to that little idiot.
And maybe in the future the iPad will develop the technology accordingly, so that you don't even have to fill in those questionnaires, make those choices?
So, what is your favorite color?
