results

In collaboration with ZenFri and Six Nations, CES co-developed a world-class Indigenous AR/VR tourism experience. The AR experience entails inviting visitors to immerse themselves in an interactive tour through Chiefswood Park, featuring 10 stops along their journey. At each stop there is an opportunity for visitors to interact with the environment and dive deeper through immersive learning which shares Six Nations’ stories, culture, and traditions while they connect with the land. The VR experience is narrated by a member of Six Nations, and guests can dive into the story using their VR headset with hand controls, interacting with the 3 sisters - corn, beans, and squash - to plant, nurture, and harvest the crops; then make 3 Sisters soup to share in their virtual world.
