The BabyView camera is designed to collect high-resolution, at-home egocentric video data from children 9 - 30 months of age. The camera consists of a rotated GoPro Black Bones camera attached to a lightweight baby safety helmet using a custom 3D printed mount and attached to a rechargeable 9V battery. The BabyView camera was designed in collaboration with Daylight, Inc., a product-design firm in San Francisco, CA, and and is the result of more than a year of prototyping.
All design documentation, safety testing protocols, assembly instructions, pilot data, data management protocols, and sample participant instructions can be found at https://osf.io/kwvxu/.
