Wearable computers-an application of BT's mobile video system for the construction industry

摘要

The construction industry is acknowledged to be heavily dependent on information flow and communications. Electronic communication from one office to another is relatively straightforward with today's technology. However, when one of the parties wishing to communicate is bases out on the construction site, problems of remoteness and insufficient infrastructure can limit the effectiveness of their communications. The emergence of wearable computers offers a potential method of improving this situation, particularly when a visual link is provided by a mobile video transmission system.
