In particular they explore how to create technologies that are sympathetic to the cultures of the storytellers, both in the capture of stories and their retelling. Specifically, they look at: inspiring stories in District Six in Cape Town; capturing digital stories from users with low literacy levels and using virtual reality to retell indigenous and personal experience narratives.enStoriesStorytellersDistrict SixLiteracyIndigenousArticleMarsden, G., Ladeira, I., Reitmaier, T., Bidwell, N., & Blake, E.
