Contextual information, as we believe, is significant for its surrounding environment. It is difficult for designers to capture the exact ambient of the site, even they have inspected several times or done the relevant sketches of the site. The reason of not being able to picture the complete contextual information of the site is because most people seem to have the disadvantages of short term memory. Therefore, sensing the contextual information of the surrounding environment while designers are in workplace is helpful in terms of creating design ideas.
