Typographic Storytelling with Augmented Reality

In the summer of 2021, Pooja was invited to speak at Adobe Design Mix’s series of remote talks, Design Shots, about her explorations with augmented reality as a way to appreciate street lettering. She shared experiments that used well-known public signage as a trigger to learn type anatomy, recreated unique cityscapes of street lettering that can be used for teaching without bearing the cost and burden of travel; and restored shop signs that can have been damaged, removed or replaced by new ones by superimposing photographs on live video.
