Games create a gap between the player's real-life and in-game nature experiences, but they also create opportunities to connect with nature. Read more on how players & game designers could engage with nature-in-games. #FinnishFlagships @GamificationGG doi.org/10.1145/3613904.3642…

Being close to nature can help people relax and feel better. Sites with more natural views and sounds, like beaches and forests, help people relax more than urban parks. #FinnishFlagships @Luke doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2024.…

Replying to @acmchiplay
@acmchiplay #chiplay2024 We have created an interactive AR game where the user pilots an alien spacecraft that has come to Earth to retrieve "data collecting units" scattered around the environment. It is fun and can capture detailed point cloud and mesh data during play.

Papua New Guinea hosts the world’s 3rd largest rainforest, a huge carbon sink! Here, Indigenous Peoples use new technologies to collect forest data to better protect & manage them. See how a @FAO-@FCDOGovUK project is making this possible👉fao.org/fao-stories/article/… #COFO27 #SDGs
