I believe that mixed reality can be a way to teach language and culture that can incorporate Indigenous place based knowledge into the teachings.When using technology to teach and share language and culture, many of the cultural nuances and knowledge of the land can be lost in translation. Using technology such as Microsoft’s Hololens mixed reality headset, may have the potential to be a game changer for teaching and sharing Indigenous knowledge. An Indigenous languageĀ learner may be able to see the world around them as their ancestors did. Learning place names and plant knowledge could be an immersive experience through mixed reality technology and a way to help preserve precious language and knowledge.
