Having proved the viability of the concept, the expanded idea of ASOTYPE is to function as a guide to digital processes on the screen, such as touch screens at the airport and at the bank. In other words, ASOTYPE explore ideas of how animation improves communication. For instance, let's say one looks on the web for a house to rent and there are many choices. One would probably write down the addresses of houses to visit. It becomes inconvenient when one is forced to find out where the houses are and then which one to visit. Of course, one can figure this out using a map, but ASOTYPE shows how to conduct a housing search based on proximity. It also provides driving directions and public transportation information.

Another innovation is the capacity to create - within the ASOTYPE system ultimately gives users the power to create their own unique, individual ASOTYPE. This is definitely beneficial for the participants of the digital environment we live in. Today, improving signs in map information is essential because we have been using an outdated system. ASOTYPE does not try to replace the existing sign system, but improves it and gives people an alternative choice. It is empowering because it gives people alternative ways to create their own signs. With the development of media and network environments ASOTYPE changes and adapts its message to represent more than just directions, events, objects, and complex relationships in space, time and information.
