Research shows that direct experiences with nature have beneficial effects on people's physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. Yet what happens psychologically when advanced technologies augment human/nature interactions? Grounded in Value-Sensitive Design, this project represents an early, cohesive, and rigorous effort to answer this question. At the heart of this project lies five empirical studies. Study 1 involves a room with an augmented "window" view (a video plasma display of a real-time local nature scene). Study 2 involves whether it matters psychologically that an augmentation of a natural scene occurs in real-time. Study 3 involves robot "pets" in the lives of children and adolescents. Study 4 involves robot "pets" as possible companions for the elderly. Study 5 involves a "telegarden" (a telerobotic installation that allows Web users to garden by controlling a remote industrial robot arm). A diverse range of physiological, behavioral, and social-cognitive data are collected over short-term and longer-term conditions. In the coming years, augmented reality will become part of our everyday lives, and pervasive across diverse fields, such as architecture, education, gerontology, recreation, and ecommerce. This project contributes proactively to the design and use - from an ethical stance - of this emerging technology.

研究表明，与大自然的直接接触对人们的身体、认知和情感健康都有有益的影响。 然而，当先进技术增强人类与自然的互动时，心理上会发生什么？ 基于价值敏感设计，这个项目代表了一个早期的，有凝聚力的，严格的努力来回答这个问题。 该项目的核心是五项实证研究。 研究1涉及一个房间与增强的“窗口”视图（视频等离子显示器的实时本地自然场景）。 研究2涉及自然场景的增强实时发生是否在心理上重要。 研究3涉及儿童和青少年生活中的机器人“宠物”。 研究4涉及机器人“宠物”作为老年人的可能伴侣。 研究5涉及一个“远程花园”（一种远程机器人装置，允许网络用户通过控制远程工业机器人手臂来园艺）。 在短期和长期条件下收集各种生理，行为和社会认知数据。 在未来几年，增强现实将成为我们日常生活的一部分，并在建筑、教育、老年学、娱乐和电子商务等各个领域普及。 该项目从道德的角度积极推动这一新兴技术的设计和使用。
