Members Only: Witnessing Visitor Experience: First Person Video Technology for Museum Research

In recent years, numerous research teams have experimented with using video research methodologies to understand visitor experiences in museum settings. Bringing together researchers with recent publications in this area, this webinar will focus on how these researchers used video technology in innovative ways to record minute visitor experiences and the major benefits and limitations of video-based data sets. Our hope is this webinar will inspire others to consider video methodologies for their own visitor research interests. Our presenters are: Alice Anderson - Minneapolis Institute of Art Used wearable Go Pros to record maker activities on a museum floor from the childs view. Dr. Michael Garbutt - University of New South Wales Captured visitor gaze with Mobile Eye Tracking technology in an art exhibition. Dr. Ben Rydal Shapiro - Georgia State University Utilizes video to capture the collaborative and geographic nature of learning in museums
