Home and workplace tours

Home and workplace tours involves mapping different environments the participant lives and works by walking around the participant’s environments, where artefacts are used and stored. Identifying clusters of artefacts and how space is organised in the participant’s home and office environments. This helps to provide information on how participants use and have customised services and products which they use. Digital video cameras, stills cameras and notebooks are used to capture the data. This tool can reveal problems participants encounter with technology and identify potential solutions though it can be time consuming in the collection and analysis of the data.
