FUTO Swipe – A new swipe typing model

In August 2024, we launched a dataset collection effort on the swipe.futo.org domain to collect QWERTY English swipes. Users would voluntarily visit the webpage on their mobile phone and be given instructions and information about the dataset. After consenting, they would be given sentences, primarily from Wikipedia, and would be asked to swipe them word-by-word.

Jerry's Map

In the summer of 1963 Jerry began drawing a map of an imaginary city. The work started as a doodle done in the spare time he had while working at a tedious job. He continued to add to that map through the years until, in 1983, he set it aside to put his free time to other use.
