ABSTRACT
The culture of Aboriginal Australians is unique and diverse, but, unfortunately, it is under threat of extinction. This is the culture that does not rely on written records, as knowledge is predominantly being shared in the form of oral tales and demonstrations. There are also many sensitivities associated with sharing knowledge with outsiders and with viewing pictures or videos of deceased people. To address these limitations we show how the combination of Virtual Reality, Motion Capture and Artificial Intelligence can help with providing interactive facilities for Aboriginal People that allow for preserving their cultural heritage and sharing it with others.
