Nyiyaparli Flora Book
Enhancing cultural heritage with AR
EyeJack worked closely with Karlka Nyiyaparli Aboriginal Corporation and Roy Hill to digitally enhance the incredible ‘Nyiyaparli Flora’ ethnobotanical cultural heritage book which documents important cultural knowledge and showcases much of the diverse flora that exists on Nyiyaparli Country in the Eastern Pilbara region of Western Australia. The result was a digital twin of the book that provided new ways to explore the content, combined with augmented reality, it unlocked another dimensionality to the stories, culture and knowledge within the pages.

The first phase of work centred around using the EyeJack app to expand hero pages within the book using Augmented Reality content. This consisted of documentary footage including interviews with the community for their expert knowledge as well as bespoke real-time 3D animations bringing the stories behind the flora to life.
The website version of the book is live and available here:
