    Synchronizing multi-perspectival data of children's digital play at home
    Mavoa, J ; Nansen, B ; Carter, M ; Gibbs, M (ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2022-07-03)
    Studying digitally mediated play presents challenges in terms of how to view and record both the on-screen action and player’s bodies in physical space. Carrying out this research in a socially and technologically diverse range of family households poses further challenges, common to ethnographic media research in general. In this paper, we describe a method for generating richly detailed views of 6–8 year old children’s digital play with the game Minecraft, on a range of devices and in a range of household configurations. We explain the process undertaken in our own research, highlighting the need for flexibility and a collaborative approach between participants and researchers. We argue that collecting multi-perspectival recordings of digital play provides data that has the potential to greatly aid understanding of digital playworlds.
