 ==== Hybrid Reality Gardens / Gaps between buildings ====
+Hybrid reality gardens, for a closer interaction between plants and humans. Connecting existing initiatives together - how do we learn from each other?; games and connections - can we take care of a physical garden?; games - cultivation, growing, meditative place, community in game design.; a science fiction story to teach life cycles, where characters are based on facts; Different axis of hybridisation - physical & digital, game & life, fact & fiction; self-assembly (from biomimicry, cellular automata); using movement of wood for small robots; plant-insect hybrids; tension - what is real and what isn't; augmentation – technological, cultural?; cultivation of humans and plants; what can we do? mapping, bundling, integrating hr gardens around the world, providing systems, kits and techniques for augmented gardening; why? coming in contact with others interested in hr gardening, building up the competence, learning things from each other; using the network to get access to technologies and people; simulated gardens facilitate connections, they can be used for speculations on HCH ideas, as fictional, more 'futuristic' extensions of the garden; playing music to plants to enhance proteins (joel sternheimer) - can we design a game melody that can be transmitted to plants from servers - 'plant radio'?; enhancing the 'gardening experience'
+Sensing (in-plant, in plant's environment) - in plant - moisture - activation potential, soil Ph, pickup mikes (for in-game ambience), cameras  - expensive; for growth - best with rulers and cameras, for chemicals - look at DIY chemistry (both could be a part of the ARG); plant communication - sophisticated biochemistry; calibration of sensors is a problem - what do we do with uncalibrated ones?; observation - activity & using imagination - no need for sensor-kit? see plant sensing in wageningen
+MR elements:  additional layer of textual information for people who prefer experience to reading
+overlays for physical gardens; interesting MR connections (appearance and disappearance of physical gardens depending on their network & sensor availability); solar projection; cell phone overlays;
 to do (nik, maja, lina, theun):
