Assessment of the Square Eyes Model as a Tool for Screening Digital Technologies in Wearable Camera Images of Children: A Laboratory Investigation

To evaluate the Square Eyes Model as a screening tool for analyzing digital technology exposure in children through wearable camera images.

Study Design: A laboratory investigation utilizing wearable cameras to capture children's interactions with digital technologies.
Data Collection: Wearable cameras recorded audio-visual material from a first-person viewpoint to objectively assess technology use.

Wearable cameras provide an accurate account of children's technology use, overcoming biases associated with self-reported methods.
The Square Eyes Model effectively categorizes the type and context of screen-based interactions.

The findings suggest that the Square Eyes Model can be a valuable tool for objectively measuring children's exposure to digital technologies.

The study may have limitations related to the sample size and diversity of participants.
Potential ethical considerations regarding privacy and consent when using wearable cameras.

The Square Eyes Model shows promise as a reliable method for assessing children's screen time through wearable technology.
