Project Background

Project Aims Examine whether ‘mixed reality technologies’ can bridge the technology gap for the benefit of the Karrabing partners Investigate the multiple issues associated with using and adapting digital information technologies to support local Indigenous understandings of the form, practice, and purpose of knowledge production and acquisition Explore intellectual property regimes and information management systems for safeguarding Indigenous interests Advance scholarly understandings of the social presuppositions built into mixed reality technology and how these presuppositions interact with competing local Indigenous views of the form, practice and purpose of knowledge.

Investigate the multiple issues associated with using and adapting digital information technologies to support local Indigenous understandings of the form, practice, and purpose of knowledge production and acquisition

Explore intellectual property regimes and information management systems for safeguarding Indigenous interests

Advance scholarly understandings of the social presuppositions built into mixed reality technology and how these presuppositions interact with competing local Indigenous views of the form, practice and purpose of knowledge.

Project Phases Phase one – training, develop mixed reality application(s), data collection, create archive Phase two – testing and redesign of the application with Karrabing members Phase three – testing with potential end users: tourism, environmental, traditional owners
