Unobtrusive User Experiences with Technology in Nature
workshop at CHI 2016, in San Jose, CA, USA
http://www.naturechi.net/
*****************************************************************
The workshop focuses on the challenge of designing unobtrusive technology
usage and user experiences in nature. The ever-growing omnipresence of
technology in our everyday life and the idea of nature with pure,
meditative or adventurous experiences may create conflicts in values,
cultures and user behaviour. On the other hand, technology may be used to
share or intensify experiences, or for bringing a piece of nature closer as
well as more accessible. We welcome researchers and practitioners working
on ethnographic studies, user research, design cases, prototype development
and artistic installations related to technology and
nature.
