@ INTERACTIONSMAG 28 INTERACTIONS 2019 年 3 月至 4 月封面故事轮廓动画（类似于线条图）以保护隐私并增强审美趣味。它被设计为一种非侵入性的方式来记录家庭或公共场所一段时间内的事件。参与者可以选择放置相机的位置并调整轮廓的密度以控制显示的内容和分辨率。与所有 ProbeTools 一样，当参与者归还设备时，可以下载结果供您查看。采访者向人们询问您记录的问题，然后暂停一小段时间以记录他们的答案。数字音频处理用于改变问题和答案以匿名化声音。参与者可以借用装有您想问的问题的面试官，并按照自己的节奏随时随地使用它——他们甚至可以多次回答问题。当与有趣的问题相结合时，其解除武装的形式可以引起自发和亲密的答复。 ProbeTools 为了解人们创造了一个可能性的空间——从他们对你的问题给出的答案，到他们自己拍摄的照片，再到被动录制的动画。一起或单独使用它们，可以重新了解您不在场时参与者的活动。更好的是，ProbeTools 是完全可重复使用的。只需清除内存并加载新任务或问题，您就可以开始新的研究了。
@ INTERACTIONSMAG 28 INTERACTIONS MARCH–APRIL 2019 cover story contour animations—similar to line drawings—to protect privacy and enhance aesthetic interest. It is designed to be a non-invasive way to record events over time at home or in public spaces. Participants can choose where to place the camera and adjust the density of contours to control what is shown and in how much resolution. As with all the ProbeTools, when participants return the devices, the results can be downloaded for your review.Interviewer asks people questions that you record, then pauses for a short time to record their answers. Digital audio processing is used to change both the questions and the answers to anonymize voices. Participants can borrow the Interviewer, loaded with the questions you want to ask, and use it at their own pace wherever they please—they can even answer questions more than once. When combined with playful questions, its disarming form can evoke spontaneous and intimate replies. ProbeTools create a space of possibilities for learning about people—from the answers they give to your questions, to pictures they take themselves, to animations recorded passively. Use them together or separately to gain new access to what your participants get up to when you’re not around. Better yet, ProbeTools are completely reusable. Simply clear the memory and load up new tasks or questions, and you’re ready to run a new study.
