Motivation

Connecting with nature is an essential human need increasingly challenged by urbanization. In response, the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is exploring how to design digital technologies that facilitate and enhance our interactions with the natural environment. These technologies offer instrumental benefits by guiding individuals to natural areas, using enhanced navigational aids and disseminating information about these environments through visualization techniques. Additionally, machine learning algorithms can identify patterns in nature-related activities, aiding in planning. On an experiential level, technologies such as virtual reality can simulate natural settings for those with limited access, wearable technologies can enhance sensory experiences, and drones can provide innovative forms of visual interactions within natural landscapes. In response, such "NatureHCI" systems can support novel engagements based on different cultural and human perspectives. This "NatureHCI" Dagstuhl Seminar will explore these opportunities and address challenges such as the potential environmental impacts of technology. By aiming to bring together experts and stakeholders from academia and industry, the seminar seeks to foster a comprehensive discussion on how interactive technologies can be designed responsibly to improve our experience of nature, thereby strengthening our connection with nature, which benefits health and wellbeing.
