This repository contains the code to capture screenshots from websites automatically. It generates a list of websites to scrap then for each website, take a screenshot. This tool has been created for the purpose of an academic paper: The Effect of Increased Body Motion in Virtual Reality on a Placement-Retrieval Task[1].
It was inspired by another academic paper: Data Mountain: Using Spatial Memory for Document Management[2].
This project is using node.js
- install dependencies with
yarn - write a config file config/config.yaml (you can use config/config.example.yaml as example)
- generate list of websites to scrap:
yarn generate:list - generate screenshots:
yarn generate:screenshots
