The workshop is dedicated to empowering participants to better understanding the biophysical landscape using the ‘QualNotes’ App. The App facilitates qualitative and collaborative field data collection. It is of particular interest to HCI researchers working with Apps or data that are reactive to the physical environment, such as geolocated, outdoor mixed reality Apps (PokemonGo), data collection with input from wearables that might be mapped and so on, as well as educators interested in teaching digital methods.
