The Visual
Methods

For qualitative empirical research

In Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research, more and more of what we study and collect is visual in nature: sketches, photographs, diagrams, interfaces, spatial interactions, and physical artifacts. Visual methods are how researchers gather, understand, and communicate with this kind of data. This open archive collects them, and keeps growing as people share and collect new ones.
