I will cut to the chase. Twist a Tweet is the one and only app that showcases a new technology! It transforms alphabetic writing from a static entity, that we know and love, into something fluid and weird. There were not that many changes in alphabetic writing, after people started using it. Nothing changed since Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press over 500 years ago. Conversion of a static text into a dynamic stream is a new big change! Twist a Tweet app converts text messages written in English alphabet into a stream of shapeshifting characters. Right now its main goal is to exercise your brain. In the future, it could be used in many practical applications: - advertisements on electronic billboards; - display text messages in very tight spaces (i.e. inside buttons); - in UI; - by people who suffer from retinitis pigmentosa – they could read these messages without moving their eyes; - VR/AR/MR applications; - as a form of CAPTCHA; - to send messages that can’t be decoded by robots. The conclusion that this could be used for brain training came only recently. Since I spent hours working with the software, reading various messages in transmute, I was the guinea pig (aka testing subject). The speed, at which I was able to comprehend the information, was increasing. There were changes in my cognitive functions, that I didn’t even notice then. Now I understand, that they stemmed from the use of this app. I exercised my brain as if it was a muscle, and it started changing. The first big shift happened in 2008. Out of the blue I wrote a rhyming poem in English. For once, English is not my native language. I also did not like poetry at all. That experience has been so enjoyable, that I wrote over 200 more poems and continue doing so. It could have been a fluke, a coincidence or whatever else, but I believe, that watching these speeding characters and their morphing shapes does wonders to the brain’s cognitive abilities. It has to detect characters within a fast moving stream of interconnected shapes and string them into words. It is under pressure to recognize these words’ meaning and connect them into sentences, while only one character could be observed at a time. It can do that thanks to the cinematic effect, which fleetingly connects symbols within words. They are like butterflies in virtual space, fluttering by and disappearing with no trace. I believe that this is a great brain training tool. It strengthened my hopes to fight back the AI. Give your tweets a twist, start exercising your brain too!

Video output dimensions are reduced to better match the dimensions of the twisted tweet.
