HERITAGE VR
Virtual Past Liberia is a groundbreaking VR experience that preserves and celebrates Liberia's rich cultural heritage through immersive technology, connecting generations across time and space.
The Tribes of Liberia
The Virtual Past Liberia experience is architected around the 16 major tribes and ethnic groups of Liberia. Each tribe has dedicated spaces within The Ancestral Grid where their unique history, traditions, art, music, and cultural artifacts are preserved.
The Ancestral Grid
Architecture by Amanda Anderson — A flowing, web-like structure representing the connection between ancestral memory and digital intelligence.
A living archive built to travel. Every gallery in the Ancestral Grid can be experienced on a Quest headset, a laptop, or a phone in WebXR, letting diasporic families, students, and visitors walk Liberia’s stories without waiting for installs.
Architects and curators keep control of the source spaces—switch floors, rearrange exhibits, and push updates instantly. Community guests tap a link or scan a QR to join a synchronized tour where voices, highlights, and annotations stay anchored to each artifact.
