Commonplace Tools for Studying Commonplace Interactions: Practitioners' Notes on Entry-Level Video AnalysisThe MITRE Corporation and Georgetown University, Washington, DC
The MITRE Corporation and Georgetown University, Washington, DC The advent of two technologies - inexpensive video recorders and digital video annotation software - is revolutionizing the study of human interaction. With palm-held camcorders, researchers can now easily collect video data in the field, where humans interact most naturally. More important, using free digital video annotation software, one can annotate and analyze video data on a laptop. In this methods review, we discuss our own experience with such tools in the study of gesture and language. We note points of general interest to researchers of other disciplines, and conclude with a discussion of new issues raised by the presence of readily available multimedia data.
