| Peter Cho is a graphic designer and computer programmer based in San Francisco. Recent projects include installation work for the Asia Society Museum in New York City and interface design for the MIT Media Laboratory. While working at Imaginary Forces, a conceptual film, broadcast, and environmental design firm in Los Angeles, he developed motion and interactive branding pieces for IBM. Cho holds a Master of Science degree in Media Arts and Sciences and a Bachelor of Science in engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. As a member of the Aesthetics and Computation Group at the MIT Media Laboratory, led by Professor John Maeda, Cho worked on independent research projects to explore the possibilities for interactive and temporal typographic forms. Contribution: Typography in Dimensional Digital Environments This presentation will discuss the potential uses for typography in the virtual three-dimensional space of the computer display. While we are all accustomed to reading letterforms on the 2D printed page, we are beginning to see new opportunities for type in the digital screen space. Using the dimension and depth of this display environment affords new possibilities for the presentation of type. These include functional uses such as the visualization of complex data environments or hierarchical interfaces. Other possibilities include the communication of spatialized text messages in which the 3D space plays an active part in the telling. Finally, type in a dimensional environment may also allow for expressive exploration of pure visual form, especially when combined with motion and user interaction. |
