Peer Instructions and Leaving Your Mark
Building Inspection with Point-of-View Camera
Road Construction with Augmented Reality

18. Peer Instructions and Leaving Your Mark
Hanno, a skilled electrician tries to install a new kind of
lighting system controller. Hanno carries a laptop and
wears a smart watch. When picking the package the
smart watch gives a tap informing of available
instructions.
When Hanno opens his laptop, smart watch has
opened the instructions to the screen. Hanno finds
detailed instructions and assembly videos about this
product. The videos have been created by other
electricians.
Hanno recognizes that there may be future work
opportunities with this lighting system controller and
after installing the controller, Hanno adds a RFID tag
to the installed device that identifies him as the
installer with all of the associated instructions he used.
The tag may lead the future maintenance work to him
and help him to remind what was done.

19. Building Inspection with Point-of-View Camera
Harri, a building inspector offers his services for several constructors and
during inspection visits he often cannot meet the people responsible for each
phase and site.
When he inspects a building, Harri records everything with a point-of-view
camera. He also has his inspection sheet on a tablet where each area or part
is connected to the people responsible of that area.
During inspection, Harri uses a tablet to fill the inspection sheet. Whenever he
takes a snapshot, it is added to currently active area in the inspection sheet.
He often also takes time to explain aloud, alone or for the building
foreman, his evaluation of the build quality.
After the visit Harri's voiced evaluations are split into the inspection sheet as
video clips. These clips are attached to the part of inspection sheet that was
active during the explanation. Harri reviews the clips and removes a few. Parts
of the inspection sheets with possible additional explanations from Harri are
forwarded to the people responsible for the work.
Harri finds that the rich media material makes it easier for him to remember
and revise his findings about the building and the SME customers are willing
to use the multi-media inspection sheets in their field meetings as well as in
briefing trainings of staff members starting to work on a similar kind of
projects.

20. Road Construction with Augmented Reality
A road construction Project Manager is in the construction
site and uses an augmented reality headset to observe the
next planned stages of the project. Augmented reality helps
her to prepare and understand incoming challenges. The
stages of the project exist as drawings that can be overlaid
on physical world and the project manager can do simple
experiments with plans and verify how the alternative
arrangements of e.g. organization of incoming materials and
routes would look. Project manager tends to say that her
work is half present, half next week.
During meetings with the workers who also wear a headset
she shares the augmented reality views and goes through
the various alternatives. For the Project Manager the
augmented view is essential briefing tool: the fellow viewers
follow the path of markers and points of interest she lays out.
She can tear complex tasks layer by layer to help her
listeners to follow her back to complexity. Showing the plans
this way help participants to understand the big picture and
present more focused questions about the project.
