Mobile Device Camera

Do you want to investigate the interaction between users and a mobile device? In that case, our specially developed Mobile Device Camera (MCD) is what you need. Just clip it on the mobile device and start filming. It also records sound, to capture user comments. Our MDC is compatible with The Observer® XT, creating a powerful system for Human-Factors research on mobile devices.

  • Capture interaction of users and mobile devices.
  • Test under natural conditions.
  • Combine videos and other sources with The Observer XT.


Features

Fit the design to your observations
It is more important than ever to know how users operate a mobile device. The number of small mobile devices has grown enormously. Most people today have at least one cell phone and a remote control. Other devices, like MP3-players and navigation systems, are rapidly penetrating the global market. Designing them is a challenge. They are small, have few controls, hold a tiny screen (if any), and often contain a dazzling number of functions. With our Mobile Device Camera you can easily study how they are operated in real life situations, and use the results for the ultimate design.

Understanding the user
Efficient design starts with understanding the user. Understanding begins with observation. But how do you observe interaction with a small device that is carried around?
The Mobile Device Camera was created to do just that. It is a small camera you can easily mount on the device. It captures key strokes, but also the way the user works with the device, the way it is held, and the user comments. 

Fit on a wide variety of devices
The camera clamp is designed to fit on a wide variety of devices. The lightweight and sturdy frame provides a stable camera image, even during swift movements. You can adjust camera distance and angle to match the size of the device.
