Abstract:
Mobile devices, applications and services have become integrated into people's daily
lives on a personal and professional level. Although traditional research methods are
being used to understand the use of mobile devices and applications, methodological
challenges still exist. Researchers have responded to these challenges in a variety of
ways, with an emphasis on developing methods that enable new ways of accessing,
making available and collecting data about mobile technology use. This paper identifies,
defines, describes and presents, a preliminary framework for understanding the
methodological responses emerging in current Mobile Human Computer Interaction
(Mobile HCI) research.
