In a few weeks time we’ll be presenting some very nice student work at the British HCI conference in Belfast, UK. Our full paper, Virtual Nature Environments Based on Fractal Geometry for Optimizing Restorative Effects, describes work conducted by Marc van Almkerk on the use of fractals for creating restorative virtual nature environments. In the Work in Progress paper, inCrease: an Approach for Particle Enhanced Soft Composite 3D-Printed Tactile Displays, we outline explorative work by Marc van Almkerk, Casper Kessels and others, on the use of 3D printing techniques for creating tactile textures.
