As part of Haw Par Villa and Hell’s Museum’s Haw Ror Villa 3, the National Library Board (NLB) has launched its first horror-themed Node, called StoryGen (Horror Edition). Powered by an AI Generative prototype jointly produced by NLB and Amazon Web Services, the Node offers an immersive journey that weaves together multi-sensorial elements.
Visitors can put their own spin on three local horror and three classic stories by customising a diverse range of elements such as location, characters and ending. After they do so, they can enter a multi-sensorial experience to read their personalised story. Visitors will also be able to access a curated list of horror stories with NLB’s eReads on the NLB Mobile app.
StoryGen (Horror Edition) will be open at the following dates and times:
|
Dates: October 18, 19, 25, 26 Time: 6pm to midnight Last entry at 11.45pm |
Dates: October 27, November 2, 3 Time: 12pm to 6pm Last entry at 5.45pm |
Please see the Annex for more details on the Node.
