Monash Launching Global Encounters VR into Australia’s First Nations History

Monash University Researchers Launch Global Encounters Website

Monash University researchers have launched a groundbreaking interactive website called Global Encounters, offering users the opportunity to explore Australia’s digital history through immersive maps and 3D models. The website acts as a cultural gateway, linking historical sources of encounters around Australia to specific geographical locations. The goal of the project is to reframe Australia’s national story by highlighting the broader history of global intrusion and exploration, and moving beyond traditional colonial narratives.
