Weird Type vs TransVision

Have you ever wanted to draw with words? Weird Type is an AR app that lets you paint with text in space! You can type your own phrases and pick from multiple modes and see your text in completely new ways. You can record videos of your messages and share them or save them to you camera roll. It's based on a series of AR experiments that the authors Zach Lieberman and Molmol Kuo have been posting to Instagram over the last few months. People kept asking, "is that an app?" Now, together with our collaborator Design Indaba, which helped produce this, we're packaging some of these experiments into app and we hope you enjoy them! The app is designed by Richard The, with iOS help from Ying Quan Tan, Robby Kraft, and Peter Sibley Note the app now supports multi-lingual input.

Human perception has long been influenced by technological breakthroughs. An intimate mediation of technology lies in between our direct perceptions. By simulating our Hyperallergenic perceptual machine, this project defamiliarizes and questions the habitual ways in which we interpret, operate, and understand the visual world intervened by digital media.
