Abstract

This article presents a study in which French families have been observed over one week each, with the aim of contributing to the understanding of home activities through video ethnography. This study also seeks to inform the design of home technology (ubiquitous computing) by examining the details of daily life. We used an ethnomethodogically informed reflexive approach to collected video data that meant including household members' orientations to the recording equipment in our analysis. This shows how examining these orientations is valuable not only in terms of understanding family activities at home but also in terms of informing the design of new technology. We demonstrate how the presence of recording equipment can play a role in the routine accomplishment of home life. Some implications of these analyses for the design of home technology are discussed, by focusing on the potential significance of introducing pervasive video cameras in the domestic sphere.
