Read several patterns and learn about interactions in space and architecture (through these design patterns) and then watch the demo from the Visible Language Workshop that shows the viewer moving through a typographic landscape. Write about the elements that the demo shares with the patterns you read?
This demo was create in 1994, well before the web as we know it today, before AR and current VR technology. What did they get right? What ideas have been expanded on in contemporary applications or experiences. Can you reference one?
Post to the class blog. Include screenshots if you have a modern day example.
