Title: | A lens into the haptic world | Authors: | HERSSENS, Jasmien Heylighen, Ann |
Issue Date: | 2009 | Publisher: | Helen Hamlyn Research Center | Source: | Include 2009 proceedings | Abstract: | This research aims to create a deeper understanding of the haptic qualities in the built environment. As a vehicle for communication with the researcher, children who are congenitally blind engage in photo-ethnography by using a camera. Their experiences, behaviours, use of the camera and the resulting photos provide unique insights in the role of haptics in indoor and outdoor spaces. The findings reported here are twofold: the method used to enhance communication; and the insights gained from the lenses of the participants. The findings reveal detailed nuances of thought, behaviour, reactions and experiences of congenitally blind children illuminating non-visual aspects inherent to the built environment. | Keywords: | built environment; congenitally blind; haptics; photo-ethnography; visual data | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13901 | ISBN: | 9781905000807 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
