Demonstration of a cultural indigenous knowledge transfer prototype
(IKTC, 2011) Rodil, Kasper; Eskildsen, Søren; Rehm, Matthias
We present our prototype 3D visualization that enables people to place video recordings of their traditional knowledge. We demonstrate the process of developing and evaluating the prototype. We show how our prototype might combat a cultural gap between youths and elders and also hope to ignite ideas about how such a system can be used rurally and how further testing can be optimized to avoid a cultural gap in the test methods.
Developing a visualized cultural knowledge transfer prototype: An in situ evaluation in Rural Namibia
(IKTC, 2011) Rodil, Kasper; Eskildsen, Søren; Rehm, Matthias
Youth in Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from a loss of valuable cultural knowledge, which has been a foundation for the coming generations’ survival and cultural self-awareness. By transferring cultural knowledge contexts into 3D visualizations, we prototyped and evaluated a system to bridge the gap between elders and urban youth in Namibia. The findings from the field experiment indicate that designers together with rural elders and children can reach a shared design platform by communicating visually.
