The World through Glass: Developing Novel Methods with Wearable Computing for Urban Videographic Research
Paterson, Mark; Glass, Michael R.
Journal of Geography in Higher Education, v39 n2 p275-287 2015
Google Glass was deployed in an Urban Studies field course to gather videographic data for team-based student research projects. We evaluate the potential for wearable computing technology such as Glass, in combination with other mobile computing devices, to enhance reflexive research skills, and videography in particular, during field research. The utility as well as the limitations of Google Glass are discussed, including its actual and potential application for teaching and data gathering purposes in the field. As such, this article constitutes one of the first instances of evaluating Google Glass as a social science research tool.
