Future Text Lab: Exploring how text, metadata, and XR reshape reading, authorship, and curation—when books become bindable, readers become curators, and machines become audiences.

Today’s session explored spatial authoring in XR, 3D knowledge maps, timelines, writing paradigms, and how immersive systems and AI might augment human thinking rather than replace it.

Can XR help us think with text, not just read it? The session explored spatial knowledge environments, reading science, and the tension between human novelty-seeking and computational consistency.

Future Text Lab: This week we explored how letters become living knowledge in XR—where environment, reader intent, and spatial context matter more than pages, and workspaces matter more than documents.

Future Text Lab: We explored whether wisdom can emerge from dynamic, spatial knowledge systems. From embodied protocols to XR libraries, the group examined metadata, serendipity, disagreement, and why wisdom lives in interaction, not documents.

We explored annotation as knowledge infrastructure — from Jamie Blustein's field study of how students mark up paper to Frode's vision of annotations as spatial knowledge objects in XR. #FutureOfText #Annotation #XR #KnowledgeManagement #SpatialComputing

XR for Conferences & knowledge work with live demos from Ken Perlin & Frode Hegland. Sam Brooker introduced ACM Hypertext 2026. Key question: is spatial computing for navigating or creating knowledge?

Explored foldable "origami text," debated HTML vs JSON for spatial documents, saw demos of Author — all circling the question of how to make knowledge truly spatial before big tech locks it down.

Walking into knowledge changes everything. The group explored gestural grammar in XR, the poetry of vagueness in time representation, and why text's generality is its superpower in spatial computing — all while asking who these tools should serve. futuretextlab.info/2026/02/02/2...

Exploring how XR could transform libraries into living knowledge spaces—where metadata, serendipity, and spatial context support wisdom as change, not certainty. Books still matter. Interfaces matter more.

Incredible line up of talks at the #FutureOfText Symposium. Thanks so much to the organizers @liquidizer @dgrigar.
In the pics: Ge Li from @DSE_Unibo, @KenPfeuffer from @AarhusUni_int and Ryan House from @UWMadison.
Great support by @SloanFoundation and @wsu.

earth, so text is the thread to continued
knowledge, and like #evolution itself, provides the
