Preface

The NatureHCI workshop brought together researchers interested in the role of technology in
shaping the experience of the natural environment, broadly intended as an open-air setting that
includes cities, peripheries, rural areas, wild natural environment, etc. Resonating with the
CHItaly theme "Frontiers of HCI", the workshop explored the frontiers of i) using technology
outdoors in terms of scope, opportunities, and limitations; ii) spaces that are not completely
natural nor artificial but hybrid and offer opportunities for remote and asynchronous outdoor
experiences; iii) interaction design in accounting for human interests over a variety of non-
human ecologies. Through these topics, we wanted to question how the different aspects of
nature are treated in HCI research and start a conversation capable of renovating HCI
discourses and practices about nature.

Papers have been gathered through a call issued in Spring 2021. We received 8 submissions
from different parts of the world, including France, Germany, Turkey, the U.S.A, and Italy.
We employed a double-blind peer-review process involving scholars of various fields related
to Human-Computer Interaction as reviewers. At the end of the reviewing process, all 8 papers
were accepted.
