Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I’ve built this to prove to myself that viewing text in 3D fundamentally changes the interaction and information gleaned from the relationships of files and software. I’ve had fun, and some people like it. It’s a toy and I want more for it, but it gets harder and harder to make progress by myself. New topics, necessary optimizations, bad fundamentals, and honestly… lack of internal motivation.

It’s a Mac app, it works in iOS too, and it has an AR mode. You can point it a git repo to download and view all the files. Hopefully someone else may enjoy it.

P.s.: to the idea of highlighting word definitions, I’m working on personal dictionary building and visualizing as well.. imagine heptopod language but with words. Same tech, different code flow.
