    Abstract

    We report on challenges we encountered when using automatic measurements for a longer term exploratory study (8-10 sessions, 9 participants) with people with Profound Intellectual and Multiple Disabilities (PIMD). In the overall study, which we will publish elsewhere, one element that we investigated was if we were able to persuade users of this target group to move more by providing interaction with an interactive ball. This paper focuses on the challenges we had regarding the use of our method for automatic measurement of movement based on camera recordings during this study. With this paper we like to remind researchers to not rely blindly on the outcome of automatic measurements and instead to analyze measures in depth, which can become difficult when using extensive sets of data.1
