The Connected Stories Window 8.1 app is the partner app to the Connected Stories demo, part of Retail Demo Mode for Windows Phone 8.0. The Connected Stories apps together demonstrate OneDrive capabilities in the context of Imaging and Productivity (“Do More”). The intention is that two more demos will be added – Entertainment and Gaming – in a future release.
In the Imaging version of the demo, the user selects a photo on the phone, views it slightly larger on the phone and then chooses to “Share across devices”. The image flies up, off the phone screen and arrives onto the partner tablet (or laptop or PC). The user sees the same image in large format on the tablet, and can then choose to share another photo or “Play video”. The video is a 15 second clip of people enjoying sharing photos across their devices.
The Productivity version works exactly the same, but instead of choosing photos, the user chooses from an Excel spreadsheet, a PowerPoint presentation, a Word doc and a OneNote file. The end demo video in this case is a 15 second clip of people enjoying sharing files across their devices.
