A shared visual language for mixed-ability co-creation.
Semio is a research prototype exploring how AI-mediated visual symbols could help people with intellectual and communication disabilities express intentions and co-create with non-disabled partners — a system to be shaped through participatory design with the communities it aims to serve. AI acts as an interpreter that bridges understanding, not a voice that speaks for anyone.

The system proposes a possible meaning, plus alternative readings.

An early demonstration prototype for a research project. The readings shown are pre-scripted demo text for illustration only — they carry no real semantic analysis, and everything runs in your browser with no model, no server and no data collected. Best viewed on desktop.
