Talk Title:
Augmenting Tradition: Bilingual Typography in the Digital Age

Talk Description:
In this talk, I’ll explore the intersection of bilingual typography, augmented reality (AR), and cultural preservation, sharing insights from my recent project that brings Chinese and English type into an comprehensive print piece and an interactive AR experience. I'll discuss the creative and technical challenges I faced in balancing print and digital design, facilitating bilingual communication, and offer food for thought for the future of bringing cultural elements into the modern age. I figured this project would be perfect for the chinatown.js audience since the major source of my inspiration was the typography of signage of New York's Chinatown and it incorporates the use of js in a different way.
