Experience John Lennon With The Bermuda Tapes
John Lennon once famously said “Reality leaves a lot to the imagination”, and its possible that this statement could well have been a source of the inspiration for the creation of the ‘Bermuda Tapes’. The ‘Bermuda Tapes’ is an immersive AR and design application that takes the music of John Lennon and pairs it with stunning interactive illustration capturing his journey and memoirs about a trip to Bermuda in the 1960’s.

Together they create a system that translates common signs into spoken language and opens up new opportunities for the deaf or hearing impaired.
