Six Nations AR/VR Experience

CES was hired by the Six Nations of the Grand River to develop a unique and original technology integration using AR/VR at Chiefswood Park that entertains and educates visitors about the local culture and traditions. The goal was to create an innovative Indigenous tourism experience that is meaningful while maintaining authenticity and adapting to the current needs and desires of visitors.

The AR experience that was created in collaboration with ZenFri and Six Nations invites 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 three sisters - corn, beans, and squash - to plant, nurture, and harvest the crops; then make three sisters soup to share in their virtual world.
