I found this article that incorporates the phenomenology theory as a research method for collecting data; listing examples, characteristics, and limitations. According to DelveTool, a phenomenological study is a qualitative research tool that "studies lived experiences to gain deeper insights into how people understand those experiences".
Below I will attach an excerpt that characterizes phenomenological research design:
-Phenomenological research design is descriptive. The researcher aims to describe as accurately as possible the structure of a phenomenon.
-Qualitative phenomenological research design aims to uncover what a particular experience means to a group of people and how they experienced it.
-This approach requires researchers to set aside their prejudices and a priori assumptions and focus mainly on the immediate experience.
-It requires the researcher to first describe the lived experiences objectively and then reflect on the description with reference to the existing theories about the phenomenon.
In addition, I was thinking in how VR headsets could possibly be a useful tool in better understanding other's' personal experiences via a first person point of view.
