Person in Time Ideas

  1. Show someone a film, record where they look, and record what they remember from it at different intervals (1 day, 3 days, 1 week…). Combine the video/tracking info and audio recordings. How does what they looked at influence what and how long they remember?
  2. Capture the experiential qualities such as the brightness and loudness of the environments that someone is a part of over the course of a day. What are the difference and  similarities in people’s preferences and the qualities of places they like to (or must) inhabit?
  3. Have people do a think-aloud protocol on nothing. Think-aloud is usually a way of getting people to describe their thought process when engaging with a specific task or system. What happens when there’s no task? How might people describe their stream of consciousness?
