We spoke to Peter Rippon, Editor of the BBC Online Archive, about the latest Your Story reincarnation.
Is this idea a new version of Your Story?
Your BBC Moments is the second iteration of Your Story, which created a timeline that connected key moments in your life, and some of biggest events that have happened in your lifetime. What followed was a global version developed using the great we got.
The idea was then picked up and Your BBC Moments was born.
So how does this differ from the previous versions?
We have created a personalised experience that demonstrates how the BBC has been there throughout people’s lives and provided some of their best-loved moments. The technology behind it is pretty much the same. Your BBC Moments is a browser-based, 'parallax'-scrolling style (like old computer games like Sonic or Super Mario) interactive storytelling experience. It has been built by the BBC Rewind team in BBC Northern Ireland which includes technology experts and journalists.
There have been some tweaks to the experience and there is also an area where we can curate what moments will be served to audiences.
