Do have a story to tell that needs more than a single path from A-Z?
Bring your ideas and creative projects onto the iPad into a blank digital canvas without boundaries — an Infinite Canvas. This easy-to-use application allows you to design in all directions to create stories, portfolios, presentations and more!

Inspired by Hypercard and a concept originally created to tell non-linear stories in comics, Infinite Canvas provides a new way to interact with content on your iPad.

Break the sequential barriers often found in traditional presentation software and dive into a rich non-linear medium.

What is a non-linear medium? It is a space with in multiple directions, with the ability to move through information in a non-sequential order. With Infinite Canvas, dive into rich media — graphic novels, comics, creative portfolios, magazines, photo journals, children’s stories, real estate brochures, art gallery tours, travelogues and tutorials.

Swipe up, down, left or right to follow the strands of multiple storylines. Orient yourself with a double tap to show a minimap. Immerse yourself in an illuminated manuscript, follow various points of view, explore branching narratives and craft your own adventure!

Each canvas created is a unique experience of multimedia. For example, you can follow the point of view of two or more characters in the same story—in a murder mystery follow the murderer, or the detective. Beyond storytelling, a real estate agent can take potential clients on a virtual tour of a house before physically taking them inside. Infinite Canvas puts the viewer in the driver’s seat.

Infinite Canvas gives you the tools to create and share your own interactive stories. With its intuitive interface, anyone can create new kinds of artistic works with no programming experience required! Just load up your digital assets (images, sounds, text, or HTML) and assemble them into a grid, add captions, buttons and cinematic effects. In minutes, a visual map of your information emerges as you freely interconnect your content in original ways. This allows you to produce your own canvases and share them as widely as you wish.
