The District Six Museum celebrated its 30th anniversary this year with a unique twist – by allowing visitors to enter and immerse themselves in District Six through virtual reality .The VR experience was hosted by the museum in partnership with Loud Rabbits Agency and the Friends of Design – Academy of Digital Arts Game Course Alum.
With the potential to present some challenges for an institution such as ourselves, we embrace the onset of virtual reality through the District Six Museum’s position as an evolving institution that emphasises progress. ‘We now have a contemporary immersive opportunity that invites people to experience parts of District Six. Our preservation of District Six memory can exist digitally too and we hope to attract the youth whose tech savviness will find enjoyment here.’Lars Espeter, founder of the Game Graphics & Multimedia Entertainment course and Friends of Design’s GDoutsourcing’s technical consultant and industry contact, led the project.
