Navigating a waka hourua (double-hull canoe) across the Pacific Ocean can be a saturating experience. But not for visitors to the Tuia Matauranga roadshow in Dunedin yesterday. Through the magic of virtual reality headsets, hundreds of people were able to take the voyage in an expandable trailer, which remained stationary in the car park next to Toitu Otago Settlers Museum. Using virtual reality, Sheryl Boulter, of Dunedin, takes a trip on a waka hourua as part of the Tuia Matauranga roadshow in Dunedin yesterday. It will be in Oamaru today and finishes in Kaikoura on December 10.
