Abstract

This report documents the proceedings and outcomes of a NatureHCI seminar, in which 21 researchers and academics from across the world gathered at Schloss Dagstuhl, Germany, to discuss the grand challenges that this field currently faces. We present the activities developed day by day, including PechaKucha self-introductions, collaborative workshops, hands-on design sessions, and group discussions. Finally, we present the pathways that attendees proposed to start addressing the seminar’s critical question: how interactive technologies can be designed responsibly to improve our experience of nature, thereby strengthening our connection with nature, which benefits health and wellbeing? Ultimately, with this report, we hope to inspire upcoming Dagstuhl Seminar proposals interested in advancing the field of HCI.
