A better approach to child POV video, through scrappy prototyping
The project goal was to create a new, open-source apparatus for capturing video from a child’s POV. The design had to be one that other labs could readily re-create, to support the creation of a larger data set of comparable videos for the field.
By testing a variety of cameras in different orientations and with a range of attachment strategies, we arrived at a combination that greatly improved data quality compared to earlier approaches. Repeated testing with toddlers allowed us to maximize efficacy and tolerability, and we consulted with a pediatric medical expert to ensure safety.
