Bringing new levels of interaction to the whiteboard by recognizing symbols and languages

but it wasn't working..

This project is similar to some of the word aggregate project shown recently. The aesthetic of this project addresses specifically the experience of riding in an elevator, the perfect place for something interesting, but not THAT interesting, as you don't want to hang out in the elevator after you get to your destination. You would be a weirdo in that case... The random assemblage of text acts as both a texture and map of word usage throughout the building across printed materials (flyers, posters, etc.), conversations, and digital mediums. Users can also enter words directly through the display to create ongoing, living, "poetry".

added a few pages to the pdf, and put two links to demo websites on the first page of the pdf.
