The Mount Gambier Library Immersive Storytelling project will be launched at City Hall on Monday 15 February 2021 at 10:30am. Combining the use of Virtual Reality (VR) technology, oral history recordings and photographs from the Les Hill Historic Collection to create customised local content, the project aims to promote mental, social and emotional wellbeing for those in aged care.
With Virtual Reality becoming more accessible to the general public, the creation of local content and the overlay of oral stories from residents within the community will enable aged care residents to recall significant events and how things around the city once looked while sharing their own memories and experiences.
Not only is this a unique collection of local history and potential tourism promotion, Immersive Storytelling will also benefit the wellbeing of residents with a disability or in aged care.- Mount Gambier Library Programming Officer Ricky Koopman
