Research connects I Indigenous art and storytelling in virtual reality
Learn about dementia from anywhere by participating in one of our live webinars – all you need is a computer, tablet or phone!
In recognition of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we are welcoming team members of the Indigenous art and storytelling in virtual reality (VR) project. This innovative project is a collaboration between University of British Columbia’s IDEA Lab and the Museum of Anthropology with Indigenous partners.
In this webinar, members of the project team and Lynn Jackson, an Indigenous lived experience partner, will share:
- How immersive VR storytelling media can connect Indigenous people living with dementia to their culture and reduce stress during hospital visits.
- Why collaborating with Indigenous partners and health-care professionals is key to making health-care technology more inclusive and culturally responsive.
Join us to learn more about this B.C.-based research project preserving Indigenous cultural traditions of storytelling, visual arts and intergenerational knowledge sharing through VR technology.
