We ended up adding a third camera. One points at the screen, one at the keypad (or the rest of the screen if a candybar phone), one at the face. Run the whole thing through a quad-processor security thing (I'd have to ask our camera geek about the details). Tip: do NOT use wireless cameras. GSM will cause signal degradation. Tip: if building it yourself, be sure to use lightweight metal or plastic. Users start ignoring the sled soon enough, but not if it's super heavy. We do lots of testing on feature phones, and you really don't want to add any software load to them (if you could get VNC in the first place). We don't "upgrade" participants to nicer phones because those aren't the phones they are used to, and then you have device & OS issues compounding your application & website issues. If you're testing the device itself, you've got more flexibility. ~~~~ Barbara Ballard [email protected] 1-785-838-3003 ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
