Note on “Text Rain”:

Physical interaction with falling text. Users stand and move in front of a large projection which shows their shadow image as well as a color animation of letters that seem to be falling like raindrops and ‘land’ on people’s shadows and can be manipulated.

“…The absence of a ‘physical’ ending, a last page, is another challenge unique to the hypertext medium.”
“…All hypertexts are open-ended in the sense that the story can be endlessly reconfigured depending on the choices the reader makes while navigating is.”
