Birrunga Gallery and Dining Augmented Reality

Birrunga Gallery and software development company Patient Zero have launched a new Augmented Reality (AR) application, allowing visitors to the gallery to interact with, and hear directly from, the First Nations artists whose work is on display.

This immersive AR experience will provide visitors with a deeper connection to the stories behind the First Nations artworks showcased at Birrunga Gallery, helping to build a stronger connection with the events, stories and truth-telling on display.

Birrunga Gallery Founder and Principal Artist Birrunga Wiradyuri, a Wiradyuri man, said the app lets First Nations people tell important stories on their own terms.

“The app provides an unprecedented opportunity for us to engage with our visitors directly. Through utilising Augmented Reality, we have the opportunity to use our voices, tell our stories, speak directly with visitors in an intimate, interactive and immersive experience,” he said.

“You just can’t capture the nuances of our Cultural narratives in an exhibit label. With this app, visitors don’t just gain an understanding of an artwork, they experience it.”

“Even more importantly, we are capturing our stories for all time,” concluded Birrunga.
