Bilbie Virtual Labs is Australia's leading First Nations social impact virtual heritage design company.  Our mission is to design immersive, interconnected, multiuser virtual heritage simulations for each and every capital city and regional town across Australia.
We have designed many interactive serious cultural heritage survival games, virtual reality and augmented reality experiences that are installed in galleries, libraries and museums but we want to bring these to the general public - First Nations communities willing. We use design theory and gamification to tell First Nations stories and showcase traditional sciences that sustained our people within their local landscapes since time immemorial. We R&D software development tools that enable us to authentically reconstruct the landscape so as to represent First Nations culture and connection to their country. We strive to ensure each application represents First Nations people as the original inventors, knowledge keepers, custodians and innovators using sustainable land-use practices - ultimately to gain a greater understanding of our connection to our land & cultural heritage. We then produce 3D visualisation using augmented and virtual reality along with serious multi-user games.
