Laboratory equipment (both hardware and software) for conducting experiments, usability studies, and field studies in the area of human-computer interaction (HCI) is typically complex, bulky, expensive, and intrusive. Recent strides in the development of surveillance software offer the prospect of a non-invasive, inexpensive, and largely automatic way of capturing data from user activities that could be useful to HCI professionals, researchers, and educators. This project investigates this possibility.

Keywords: human-computer interaction, usability study, surveillance
