  2. In terms of the future wellbeing of our species, does it matter that we are replacing actual nature with technological nature? • Psychological findings on 4 types of technological nature • Plasma display nature window • Telegarden • Robot dog • Humanoid robot

  3. A Plasma Display Window?The Experimental Study Kahn, P. H., Jr., Friedman, B., Gill, B., Hagman, J., Severson, R. L., Freier, N. G., Feldman, E. N., Carrère, S., & Stolyar, A. (2008). A Plasma Display Window? – The Shifting Baseline Problem in a Technologically-Mediated Natural World. Journal of Environmental Psychology, 28(2), 192-199.

  4. A Plasma Display Window?The Experimental Study • More rapid heart rate recovery in the glass window condition compared to the blank wall condition. • No difference in heart rate recovery between the plasma window condition and the blank wall condition. • Participants looked just as often (but not as long per look) at the plasma window compared to the glass window. • When participants spent more time looking at the glass window, their heart rate tended to decrease more rapidly; that was not the case with the plasma window.

  5. A Plasma Display Window?The Field Study Friedman, B., Freier, N. G., Kahn, P. H., Jr., Lin, P., & Sodeman, R. (2008). Office Window of the Future? – Field-Based Analyses of a New Use of a Large Display. International Journal of Human Computer Studies, 66(6), 452-465.
