本文报道了当前的跨学科设计研究，探讨了个人在日常或家庭生活中的“仪式”的表现所持有的价值观。这项工作的重点是移动的工作人员，他们可能会长时间和/或定期离开家和家人。在研究过程中，出现的一个关键障碍是为了进行传统人种学研究而进入家庭。对于许多经常与家人分离的移动的工作者来说，在非常有限的、因此是神圣不可侵犯的家庭时间内让一名人种学研究人员在场的想法很难达成协议。因此，设计研究人员不得不开发更多的设计手段，通过一系列的设计干预，有效地提供形式的人种学数据时，研究人员和研究人员都远离现场，即家庭。
This paper reports on current interdisciplinary design research that explores values held by individuals in their performance of everyday or ‘quotidian’ rituals in family life. The work is focused on mobile workers who may be away from home and family for extended and/or regular periods of time. During the course of the research, a key hurdle that has arisen has revolved around gaining access to families for the purpose of conducting traditional ethnographic studies. For many mobile workers who are separated from the family on a regular basis, the idea of having an ethnographic researcher present during what becomes very limited and therefore sacrosanct family time has proved difficult to negotiate. Therefore the design researchers have had to develop more designerly means of engagement with ‘the field site’ through a series of design interventions that effectively provide forms of ethnographic data when both the researcher and the researched are away from the field site, namely the family home.
