Virtual Reality Museum
The Reslience documentary was made as a compendium to the Virtual Museum of Native American Basketry, a VR experience hosting over 100 Native American Baskets woven by Native American Indians from over 25 different tribes spanning from the Great Basin. The experience is a PC-based experience that allows users to virtually pick up digital baskets, explore immersive dioramas, learn about basketry materials and techniques and more.
Digital archive
In addition to the documentary film and the VR experience, University of Nevada, Reno's Nevada Digital Collections displays three-dimensional scans and photographs of baskets as part of Nevada Museum of People, Place, and Time
