Waverly Labs Pilot

Pilot

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Waverly Labs Pilot. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new friends and new languages, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

There is nothing more nerdish then a missing language barrier.

This hearable concept comes right back to the future and introduces your own small bablefish, to enjoy worldwide communication without limits. At least if your world talks in spanish, french, italien or english, but that isn’t half bad.

Two pilots meet.. not just the start of a bad joke, but also a start for something new and some kind of next generation conversation.

If you only got one pilot, you need a bit of actual technology support of your smartphone. But pilots seem to be group living animals, what means there are at least two of them.
