Abstract: A method of processing a non-linear narrative article to improve a user's interactive experience is described. A user watching the narrative article can select options during presentation which influence subsequently viewed media clips associated with the selected options. The user navigates a single downstream path through the many possible paths in the narrative. In addition to downstream non-linear navigation, at each navigational decision point, upstream parts of the non-linear narrative are identified and the user is presented with upstream navigation options to enable non-linear upstream navigation through the narrative.
