This Label Design Is a Story Untold

Treasury Wine Estates in their ongoing campaign - 19 crimes have brought an exceptional blend of augmented reality technology with label design.

Each wine label features one of the 19 infamous convicts sentenced to exile in Australia. When the user scans the image on the wine label using 19 crimes app, the convict starts speaking his side of the story.

Designed by San Francisco's Tactic Studio, this label design is taking creativity with technology to new heights. The following video illustrates how the user can interact with the company's wine labels.
