Project Content
lilaDot is developing a systematic visual language that is capable of expressing abstract and complex academic knowledge.

Because of the topic's novelty, our approach is to, firstly, create an environment where a large number of users can interact with a broad collection of visual vocabulary and, secondly, observe and extract patterns from these interactions.

The project takes the format of a tech startup. The research environment is very different from typical academic research regarding the high agility and the focus on products and customers.
