“…Community building efforts have also been undertaken in this area, such as with NatureCHI [4,5], UbiMount [1], and the CHI Outside SIG at CHI 2017 [7]. But many are still unaware of others working in this area and of the work they are doing.…”

HCI in outdoor recreation is a growing research area. While papers investigating systems in specific domains, such as biking, climbing, or skiing, are beginning to appear, the broader community is just beginning to form. The community still seems to lack a cohesive agenda for advancing our understanding of this application domain. The goal of this workshop is to bring together individuals interested in HCI outdoors to review past work, build a unifying research agenda, share ongoing work, encourage collaboration, and make plans for future meetings. The workshop will result in a report containing a research agenda, extensive annotated bibliography, an article about this topic and plans for unifying the community at future meetings.

“…Martin, 2017). There is potential here for backpacking apps to be designed in such a way that they encourage users to learn and maintain these important skills, and to focus more on the experience of being in a wilderness area (Häkkilä et al, 2017). One recurring sub-theme centred around anxieties resulting from the lack of availability of reliable power sources when on the trail, and revealed that the issue in backpacking is compounded by the need to use and maintain a number of quite different devices, each with their own battery lives and energy requirements.…”

Whither wilderness? An investigation of technology use by long‐distance backpackers

The popular outdoor pursuit of backpacking is profoundly changing as the community embraces contemporary information technologies. However, there is little empirical evidence on the adoption and use of consumer electronics by backpackers, nor the implications this has for their habits, practices, and interactions. We investigate long‐distance backpackers' articulations with mobile information technology during the TGO Challenge, a coast‐to‐coast crossing of the Scottish Highlands. By employing mixed methods, we explore how and why backpackers use such technology when planning and undertaking their journeys via a survey (n = 116), pre‐ and post‐challenge interviews with selected TGO participants, and daily in‐field video‐logs. Our results suggest many advantages to using technology in this context, including fluidity of communications and access, while noting that reliance on technology is leading to issues such as increased need for battery power management, and deskilling. The findings highlight implications for the juxtaposition between outdoor recreation, information behavior, and human computer interaction (HCI) and suggest future work in this area.

“…The first workshop ran as part of CHI 2016 in San Jose, California and included 11 position papers. The second workshop (Häkkilä et al, 2017) took place alongside MobileHCI 2017 in Vienna, Austria, and included 14 position papers. The workshops comprised both paper presentations (with follow-on discussions) and group activities (see Figure 1).…”

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 authors 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.
