Abstract
We describe a series of applications that involve interfaces that allow a certain amount of ”communication” with other living beings, in particular, plants. These interfaces allow the user to have contact with plants in ways which provide a better understanding of their ”feelings” based on changes (humidity, chemistry) in the soil where the plant is “planted”. We also explore the effects of the different kinds of interaction in changing the perception of people about other virtual and live entities.
