Project Description
With advancements in digital technology, intelligent networks, and environmental sensors, it is now possible to create, experience, and interact with typography on the Spatial Web. This project explores how designers can actively engage with these emerging technologies to develop innovative typographic systems. By examining how generative methodologies influence letterform behavior and how dynamic systems impact information display, the project seeks to enhance communication through responsive environments.
The project includes a series of experiments that translate traditional typographic standards from two-dimensional graphic design into three-dimensional space. A key outcome is the spatial web type tool, a web-based repository of design experiments focusing on expressive, dimensional, and generative typography. These experiments extended from screen to space and turned into tangible interactive devices, allowing users to explore and export unique typographic results in three dimensions, from individual letterforms to complete paragraphs. The interactive installation demonstrates potential future forms of the Spatial Web and new ways to consume information in space.
