KOTA SAMARAHAN: Universiti Malaysia Sarawak’s (Unimas) multi-award winning eBario project is undergoing a transformation and re-branding in response to its evolving role in a rapidly changing world.
A press release said the original computer-based telecentre is no longer relevant to the tech-savvy people of Bario, where the device of choice is now the smartphone.
In addition to continuing to stimulate local development, eBario’s role will now focus on managing the knowledge that technology makes increasingly accessible.
Adjacent to the centre in Bario, residents are constructing a community museum, which eBario will augment with a virtual component by digitising Kelabit culture and traditions for the benefit of future generations.
Radio Bario also plays an important role in helping to preserve the Kelabit language.
