Static text communications in online spaces lack the rich embodied information we experience in face-to-face communication. In this research, we aim at charging liveliness into digital text communication by developing TypeTrace, a Web software that can record and play back writing processes and visualize the micro fluctuations of time contained within. We show the design and result of a preliminary experiment we conducted, and discuss further research directions.
