Where is the Bird?

Baby BSL

Where is the Bird? is the book that makes pre-speech communication between babies and adults a reality: a multi-award winning Augmented Reality children’s book that inspires all families, deaf and hearing to interact in British Sign Language (BSL) at home.

The buggy book + smartphone app are designed to be as portable and accessible as possible. Pages wake up magical illustrations that pop-up out of the page as colourful 3D animations before being paired with video demonstrations of a BSL sign.

  • Designed as a co-learning system that encourages parent and child to play and learn together. Parents first familiarise themselves with the BSL signs using the smartphone app and then use the app + book to activate the AR and copy the signs together.

    Once parents begin to memorise the signs, they can practice with the book and eventually mix signs to describe the world around them.

Introducing 20 British Sign Language (BSL) signs

Where is the Bird? showcases twenty useful everyday signs: ten augmented reality animations, and ten BSL videos demonstrated by children from Elmfield School for Deaf Children.

These sleeping illustrations spring to life as Augmented Reality animations when viewed using our smartphone app.
