[Sigia-l] Ethnographic research?

[Arthur Fink]

Most of us tend to test/refine our designs in lab settings.

A friend of mine with a strong background in anthropological ethnographic 
research asked me if these disciplines are ever used in interaction design 
projects ... either in the US or abroad (perhaps at places like Philips 
Design).  Now she's got me interested as well.

So ... any knowledge of or thoughts about this?
