The Labyrinth Project is a research initiative on interactive narrative at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts. Labyrinth designs their interactive works as transmedia networks—installations, DVD-ROMs, and websites. Their projects appear not only in cyberspace but also in the networked public spaces of museums, science centers, and other public venues.

The Journey to Horseshoe Bend project offers Indigenous and non-Indigenous participation with Australian historical and cultural knowledge using the Internet to interact with cultural experiences. The project allows users to engage in digital story telling, e-learning and interaction with archival materials through oral histories.
