Abstract

This paper describes an interactive embodied learning-based simula-tion in Virtual Reality that has been designed to disseminate the Intangible Cul-tural Heritage behind Umqombothi, a traditional South African beer-brewing practice, by instructing both the cultural process and underlying chemistry. The VR simulation includes an authentic beer-making environment based on a South African township and an abstract chemistry environment called the “Mi-croverse”. The paper is limited to literature grounding and details of the tech-nical prototype game and its implicit logging system.
