Designed as Self-Build devices that researchers can make themselves by following instructions and downloading software and 3D models from the project website, ProbeTools are unique electronic devices that can be used at the heart of user research studies. There are three kinds of device: TaskCam, VisionCam and Interviewer, and each offers a novel and engaging way for people to tell you about themselves and their everyday lives.<br><br>Click here to
