Legends of Suzuki iPhone Apps

We recently had the privilege of working with Suzuki UK developing two iPhone applications to complement their Legends of Suzuki exhibition at the Manx Museum. Suzuki have a long and illustrious history at the Isle of Man TT and 2010 is their 50 year anniversary and they wanted to provide an interactive element to their exhibition.

The Legends of Suzuki exhibition at the museum comprises all sorts of Suzuki memorabilia, from the bike Mike Hailwood rode in his final TT victory in 1979 , to leathers, helmets and bikes from many other TT champions stretching back to the 1963 50cc winner Mitsuo Ito. If you’re on the Island and are a TT fan, you should certainly check it out!

Working with Manx National Heritage, who provided the content, we built an audio guide app which provides commentary and information for some of the exhibits and a “Gallery Tour” app which includes photos, information and video of covering significant events in Suzuki’s history at the Isle of Man TT.

The gallery app has rare and early photos of the first Suzuki team in 1960 as well video clips of Mike Hailwood, the 1960’s riders, Mick Grant, and more recent stars such as Cameron Donald and Bruce Anstey.

Both free can be downloaded now from the App Store:

We also built a simple web-based version of the audio tour app for iPhone and Android (2.0+) users which is virtually identical to the native iPhone app. Go to http://bit.ly/suzukiaudiotour on your iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Android phone to check it out!

We had great fun making the apps, we hope you find them useful.
