The Kilo Hōkū team is proud to announce our first publication, now available in MIT’s journal PRESENCE: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments. Titled “Kilo Hōkū—Experiencing Hawaiian, Non-Instrument Open Ocean Navigation through Virtual Reality” (doi:10.1162/PRES_a_00301), it is a presentation of our first steps in developing and prototyping the Kilo Hōkū simulation, the history of native Hawaiian Wayfinding, and our work to build a tool that will help to instruct future wayfinders and the public while preserving the cultural heritage of the Hōkūleʻa.
The article may be found in Volume 26, No. 03, Special Issue: Virtual and Augmented Reality in Culture and Heritage.
