Inspiring view of Uluru from rangers' hut @ Mutijulu, where Ngangkari (healers) of NPY Women's Council hosted a #VirtualReality workshop today! Excited to be working on a new #VR experience with Uti Kulintjaku, combining 360 cinema, shot in the Central Desert with animation of Tjulpu & Walpa story.
