LEXICON: URBAN CAPTURE

A New Way to Experience Brooklyn.

Project Pitch // 2024

Turn the streets of NYC into your personal dictionary.

THE CONCEPT

An augmented reality word-collector game for the urban explorer.

  • Scan physical environments
  • Extract hidden text
  • Catalog the city's vocabulary
HOW IT WORKS
  • CAPTURE: Use the camera to photograph signs, murals, and storefronts.
  • EXTRACT: On-device OCR processes every character.
  • LOCATE: GPS pins the exact coordinates of your find.
  • COLLECT: Words are added to your permanent Lexicon.
THE EXPERIENCE

Think Pokemon GO meets Typography.

Fill your "Word-Dex" by venturing into new boroughs. Find rare archaic words in old bookstores or industrial jargon in Bushwick.

COMMUNITY

The game is self-hosted and community-driven.

  • Compare Lexicons with friends
  • Global word-leaderboards
  • Map shared discoveries
  • Themed community challenges
JOIN THE CAPTURE

The UI is designed for high-speed urban scanning. Simple, retro, and efficient.
