LangWidgets / Alisa Goikhman (IL)
LangWidgets composes a set of interactive physical widgets and a graphical interface to allow us to wander through semantic fields, as if they were a geographical surface.
The suggested interface examines how acquired conventions of navigation can be implemented as a translation instrument. It enables us to browse through the conceptual relations between words in foreign languages. The goal is to find a visual and technological solution that will allow users to experience and internalize the structure of new vocabulary through their senses rather than memorizing it.
