Naturalism and ACI: augmenting zoo enclosures with digital technology

Zoos are increasingly introducing digital technologies to enhance visitors' experience of viewing animals, and promote the welfare and wellbeing of captive animals. Consequently, zoos are an immediate and important context for work in the discipline of animal-computer interaction (ACI). However, zoo enclosure design has a long history of transformation in line with existing theories, influenced by notions of naturalism and visitor immersion. In this paper, we discuss this literature in the context of the growing field of ACI, further drawing on interviews with zoo staff conducted as part of a larger project exploring digital enrichment to highlight the relevant implications for design.
