Olphas, one world, one communication system
Current writing systems are thousands of years old, they have evolved very little throughout the ages, mainly because of technical limitations to process and port, keeping symbols as simple as possible. Nowadays, with the technological advancements, information is digital that travels at the speed of light. However, most ubiquitous communication such as texting, tweets, and emails strips out tonality, facial expressions, affect, context, and other features.
I envisioned and developed an engine to convert text to images in order to enhance and enrich text based conversations. Olphas is some sort of a hybrid between hieroglyphics and alphabets that attempts to restore some of those lost face to face features, while aspiring for a rich universal communication environment. The project started more than a decade ago as an experiment, it generated hundreds of thousands of visits at the time, while challenging the most fundamental core of our communication at a global level. Olphas is still a baby learning how to crawl with great potential.
