Developed in a small collaborative team, The Kākā Project aims to educate, encourage and empower neighbours living in the halo around Orokonui Ecosanctuary to help protect Dunedin’s kākā flock.
This design research project uses academic and contextual research, paired with stakeholder knowledge and relationships to create interactive storytelling experiences.
We designed an interactive web-based game and a VR prototype that Orokonui could use in their lobby or take to local schools. The web-based game was designed to be universally accessible and the VR prototype was designed for an exhibition-style or promotion.
