Visual Language: Futurefarmers

'Cultivating consciousness since 1995'


Christian informed me about Future Farmers, although I think I may have heard about them before through a documentary called the Virtual Revolution based in the area Futurefarmers work.

They have a very impressive HTML5 website that I'm still trying to get my head around.

The collection of creatives is quite something; one of their projects particularly interests me. Transportationtown builds on the idea of SimCity but as an educational tool. It gives me an element of inspiration for what I might do.

Visual Language: Taxonomy of Languages

The diagram of the right depicts the classification of Indo-European languages (basically the major Western languages).

Visual Language: Virtual Environments

Here's another example of a virtual environment; this time animated.

In this, the user basically clicks and it leads them to another scene. Within one scene, some limited options are available such as activating a character or opening a door/window.

Visual Language: A Visual Narrative

Google Street View

Google Street View is a book; a narrative that leads you through a virtual experience of life.

Users are encouraged to explore cities around the world, and people can end up wasting a lot of time exploring their cities in street view.

What if this time-wasting, yet interesting, experience could be captured for educational purposes?
