Textual information has been central to human knowledge consumption. Today, the ubiquitous influence of digital technology, such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, represents a profound shift in how we absorb knowledge- through digital interfaces. As AI gets integrated into interfaces, what if it could support the reading comprehension process in extremely fluid ways? The project followed a possibility-driven process led by explorations anchored in themes such as spatial perception, anticipation, memory, navigation, typography and semantics.

The preferred context was boiled down to a few scenarios that communicate the usage. The overarching goal was to bring moments of clarity to readers in the “Blink” of an eye.Picture
