Information Design: TextArc

TextArc is a beta tool intended to give readers a new, deeper way to uncover patterns and concepts in texts. Readers can take advantage of human visual processing to deploy intuition to help extract meaning. By "seeing" every word at once, in a sort of virtual Evelyn Woods way, the eye is able to make connections and decipher meaning otherwise overlooked by normal reading. Thus, in theory, the essence of a text revealed. Hamlet is available as a full textarc text, and other literary products are in the works. <http://www.textarc.org/>
