Dscript (Dimensional Script) is a 2D writing system that allows words and phrases to exist as strings that are very flexible and dynamic in 2D.

Dscript has been developed much more and even has a notation layer.

Hi Matthew,

Thanks for sharing the fun!  I'm extremely interested in drawing metadata encoding and retrieval!  

My MFA Thesis was entitled: "Heydot: Revisualizations in Open System Drawing".  My project included applets that visualized gestural metadata for marks made on a touchscreen, with the intention of visualizing the difference between intentional/representational marks and spontaneous/psychomotor/non-representational marks.

hi Ross,

my pleasure, whenever a project opens up into a fractal rabbit hole like this, best to just share it ;)
wow thats a mouthfull hehe, you might have fun with this, easy to build... the secret is wire, rubber bands and superglue ;)

the 'goal' is to create a written script(s) that could be conveyed in 2d but which encode 3d info, and for it to be capable of real world analog writing

i have no clue what the ideal gesture system would be, but i think it would be cool if a language could be drawn in 3d using a real world analog
it could be directly translated into 3d hand gestures while also being able to be conveyed on paper or screen, a bridge between reading and 3d movements of sorts

anyways thats the objective anyways, only after i built it did i realize deep the rabbit hole goes. mapping properties and their relations to each other alone will take a while, let alone devising a script(s)
