Pintail is a mobile companion application for guided storytelling. To inspire and augment story creation, Pintail uses priming as a technique by showing the user what others feel or have drawn about the places s/he is visiting. These Pintail prompts are synthesized from online travel reviews and doodle books. Some prompts are displayed in an ambient manner on a second screen. Users can use the Pintail story-creation tools to remix, reflect and create their own stories. The stories created by Pintail have an analog form. They are printed on a re-purposed mobile receipt printer. They are designed to catalyze in person-conversations. Pintail tries to balance between the story creation activity and the actual travel experience. Pintail provides the users with the structure and tools for storytelling that are aware of the short attention span of today's audience.
