To counter this we introduce an artistic real-time visualization of typed messages that additionally captures and encodes aspects of an individual's unique typing style. The potential of our system to augment electronic communication was evaluated and the results are provided along with analysis of their implications for social visualization.Categories and Subject Descriptors (according to ACM CCS): H.5.2 [Information Interfaces and Presentation]: User Interfaces Graphical user interfaces (GUI); I.3.3 Computer Graphics Display Algorithms
