Abstract Indigenous Knowledge Technology Conference (IKTC) (2011 Nov. 2-4: Windhoek, Namibia) - Youth in Sub-Saharan Africa suffers from a loss of valuable cultural knowledge, which has been a foundation for the coming generations' survival and cultural self-awareness. By transferring cultural knowledge contexts into 3D visualizations, we prototyped and evaluated a system to bridge the gap between elders and urban youth in Namibia. The findings from the field experiment indicate that designers together with rural elders and children can reach a shared design platform by communicating visually. - Polytechnic of Namibia
