Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the versatile creative tool called "I/O Plant" which generates new-style interactions among humans, plants and computers. It enables designers to manipulate plants as modules by attaching actuators and sensors to plants. It has been designed to create original hybrid circuits. We report not only our tool, but also use patterns and several examples. I/O Plant cultivates new creativity toward the interaction design.

The more-than-human turn in human-plant interaction design: From utilitarian object to living co-inhabitant
Highlights
- Reviews studies on people-plant engagement in interaction design.
- Offers a qualitative meta-analysis of design research critiquing plants in HCI.
- Discusses ethical/societal implications of using plants with technological devices.
Abstract
Plants and specifically indoor pot plants have featured as a prominent object in human-computer interaction (HCI) studies for more than two decades. Motivated by recent discourse in posthumanist and entanglement HCI, this paper seeks to ...
