UNESCO Workshop: The localisation of "interactive3d learning objects" (2005)

UNESCO 3-day workshop on interactive3d learning objects

Supported by UNESCO, this workshop brought together key supporters of VR in development from Ethiopia, Mozambique, Sudan, Senegal, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Participants were taken through the process of how existing VR Apps. (“interactive3d learning objects”) can be translated into other African languages and even dialects, without having to use the original authoring tools.

The workshop led to the creation of a network of institutions and individuals able to take existing “interactive3d learning objects” and produce local versions to be distributed within their countries. Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo and the University of Dakar have since tested the processes, for example, translating “the building of the VIP Pit Latrine” into Portuguese, Shangaan and French. Similarly, World Links Zimbabwe have since translated many i3dlo’s into Shona.

The African Computing & Telecommunications Summit

Supported by UNESCO, this was the first time that we had an opportunity to put our ideas and vision forward to an audience in Africa. The response was inspirational. As the workshop finished, we were interviewed by CNN for the weekly CNN Africa in Focus slot
