Abstract

In the virtual dreaming simulation we show everyday life of Aboriginal people from the Darug tribe, who used to live in the Parramatta basin (New South Wales, Australia) in year 1770 A.D. before the arrival of the first fleet and the establishment of the first European settlement in Australia. Each member of the tribe is represented by a virtual agent. This simulation uses the aboriginal environment built for the Generations of Knowledge project.
