abstract = {As part of an attempt to co-create a comprehensive virtual environment in which one can explore and learn traditional practices of the OvaHimba people, we have co-designed and implemented a VR experience to construct a traditional food storage. In collaboration with the OvaHimba community residing in Otjisa, we have explored culturally valid representations of the process. We have further investigated different techniques such as photogrammetry, generative AI and manual methods to develop 3D models. Our findings highlight the importance of context, process, and community-defined relevance in co-design, the fluidity of cultural realities and virtual representations, as well as technical challenges. © 2025 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).},
