In October 2015 Dr. Christopher Moore and research assistant Owen Godfrey of the UOW School of Arts, English and Media recreated in virtual reality (VR) the Stone Room from the Yellow House, circa 1971. They utilised the development software Unreal Engine 4 and Oculus Rift VR viewing technology. In the creation of the virtual space they had referenced resources from the UOW Library collections, including copies of contemporary photographs by Greg Weight, original floor plans, and video and oral history testimony by the artists involved. The following video reveals the results of this research project.

In 1995 Thoms compiled excerpts from this material, along with stills, to produce the 58 minute Akai Ghost Poems . A number of Yellow House participants have been interviewed subsequent to 1973, including Peter Wright by Roger Foley during the Yellow House retrospective exhibition held at the Art Gallery of New South Wales during 1990.
