← Type Script
Type Script is a program to generate logograms that represent entire words, as well as a touch input prototype, based on the emerging writing system.

Typing a word draws lines between its consecutive letters, based on their virtual position on a QWERTY keyboard. These lines form a single character that represents the word as a so-called logogram.

The project is inspired by the swipe gestures used to write words on touchscreen "swipe-keyboards". People who use them frequently build up muscle memory, correlating the word that they have in mind directly with the gesture to write it. This lead to a first protoype, based on an image classifier that's trained on variations of 'logographically' written 'hello world' phrases - creating a qwerty-free swipe keyboard.
