Summary:Our research project deals with uses of the new kinds of mobile terminals-phones, tablets, e-books and various digital processes-and intends to analyze them according to a specific approach, that has to do with information and communication sciences. It allows us to measure, thanks to an anthropological point of view, what these uses and practices generate in terms of changes of uses. Our approach tries to emphasize the context in which the user is immersed. In this way, we propose a method of observation which, according to us, is a precious contribution: glasses-cameras. They allow us to study the enrolment of these new uses in what turns out to be a complex technique, made of media metastable practices, that are at the same time static and dynamic. Keywords: epistemology, methodology, experimental approach, uses, ICT Notre projet de recherche porte sur les usages des nouveaux terminaux mobiles-portables, tablettes, liseuses numeriques-, et entend les analyser selon une approche info-communicationnelle afin de mesurer au plan anthropologique ce que ces usages generent en termes de changements d'usages et de pratiques chez les utilisateurs. Par approche info-communicationnelle, nous souhaitons mettre l'accent sur le contexte dans lequel l'utilisateur est immerge. Ainsi, nous proposons une methode d'observation qui selon nous est d'un apport precieux : les lunettescameras. Elles nous permettent d'etudier l'inscription de ces nouveaux usages dans ce qui s'avere etre un jeu complexe de pratiques mediatiques metastables, a la fois statiques et dynamiques. Mots-cles : epistemologie, methodologie, approche experimentale, usages, TIC
