Innovating Methods: Observing In Situ Technology Experiences Using Novel Visual Research Methods

This paper describes the development of novel visual research methods derived through the application of consumer-grade tools of immersive virtual reality. The research methods highlighted are ideally suited for research in the wild, providing field researchers the means to observe and capture any situated activity within its natural context, including the capability to reexamine or “reexperience” activities observed. The utility of these...
