Ethno-Goggles: Supporting Field Capture of Qualitative Material

This paper discusses some early work in the creation of a system called Ethno- goggles, which is designed to support the capture of heterogeneous qualitative data in field studies. The aim of the system, which comprises several types of capture hardware, is to automate the process of digitization and synchronization of several different capture stream, thus reducing the logistical overhead involved in creating a corpus of effective field data for later analysis.
