Abstract
Being in nature is often regarded to be calming, relaxing and purifying. While technology has
the potential to support engagement with nature, developing systems that provide support in
an unobtrusive manner holds many challenges for interaction design. In this article, the
articles describe their reflections around the NatureCHI workshop series. The aim with the
workshops has been to help foster a research community interested in the design of
Unobtrusive User Experiences with Technology in Nature. The first of two workshops ran as
part of CHI 2016 in San Jose, California, while the second workshop took place alongside
MobileHCI 2017 in Vienna, Austria. With 25 papers presented in total, the workshops
demonstrate a rising interest in the areas where nature and interactive technologies meet.
