“Layered Horizons” is a Research through Design and digital humanities project that brings together disparate data sets from linguistics, anthropology, geography and archaeology-within virtual reality (VR)-to create interactive information visualisations which use gesture-based controls to allow a user to interact with information in an embodied manner. A user is literally surrounded by the information as environment and interacts with it in a direct and embodied manner. “Layered Horizons: Vanuatu (v1.0)” represents an iteration of the project focusing on the Vanuatu region
