Walkthrough research: methodological potentials for head-mounted cameras as reflexive tools in museum contexts

Abstract

This study investigates the potential of head-mounted video cameras as a technique for understanding human experience in museums. Goals of the research are to avoid over-determination of experience, instead providing digital tools for reflection and understanding. The work uses a head-mounted video camera, an interview, and a set of simple image processing techniques to explore methods for understanding relationships between people, objects, and museum spaces.
