Proposing a Collaboration in

Spatial Storytelling

To Explore Creative Opportunities Made Possible by Artificial Intelligence and GPS

To Prepare Young People for
Writing in the Age of AI

To Support Heritage Tourism in
Saratoga County

Shared by C&R Interactive with
Prospective Collaborators

JANUARY 2026

We’re building ten GPS-triggered audio tours in the premiere mobile app for self-guided adventures in open spaces

Voices of Saratoga is a companion to Explore Warren County, the mobile app in which C&R Interactive (CRI) has developed four tours with the Warren County Department of Planning and Community Development.

We’re now bringing our new techniques in spatial storytelling to Saratoga. We’ll celebrate its rich history and develop a team and business model that will enable us to create more tours, with these at the top of our list.

This Is Our Model

Stories told by 12 of Lake Luzerne’s most notable figures as only AI can imagine and voice them.

To Be Launched Saturday, January 24
at the Annual Meeting of the
Warren County Historical Society

Acknowledging Lester St. John Thomas’s invaluable contribution published in 1979 by the Committee on Publication of Local History:

We’ve learned the recipe for generating first-person narratives of historic figures voiced by AI

STQRY describes it for users

We can take self-guided audio tours to new levels, as we demonstrate in Voices of Lake Luzerne.

Proposed Saratoga Tours

We don’t want to duplicate tours that are already in place or in development.

We want to collaborate in producing tours so compelling that visitors will pay some reasonable amount for the full package of ten.

We’re developing a model that rewards authors and creators with appropriate shares of the proceeds.

We’re inviting Skidmore students in particular to try their hand at spatial storytelling and learn valuable new skills along the way.

These nine tours are top of mind:

The Battle of Saratoga

The Adirondack Railroad 

The Mob in Saratoga 

Gideon Putnam's Saratoga

Congress Park

Pitney Meadows Community Farm

Saratoga Race Course and Back Stretch

Saratoga Before Urban Renewal

Skidmore College's Downtown Campus

And how about this special we’ve proposed to the Climate Smart Task Force?

Students also will be awarded 50 percent of all revenues generated by sales of the tour above $1000.
