On the 30th October MobiCloud was showcased at
the COMIT/Fiatech conference which was held at the Crystal in London. This
two-day event attracted 150 delegates from all over the world and focused on
the use of mobile technology in the construction industry.
The event was
chaired by Phil Jackson of the Institute of Civil Engineers and included
speakers such as Richard Lane from the UK Government BIM Taskgroup. More
information about the conference, including photographs and all the presentations, can be found on the COMIT website.
MobiCloud had a stand at the event and Martin Wilson
presented a brief overview of the MobiCloud project in the morning on the 30th.
In the evening after drinks and light refreshments a longer showcase was
delivered including a demonstration of the Site Diary application by
Otis Burris (Appear). This generated a lot of interest, particularly among
delegates from the US.
Vladimir Bataev (EsperantoXL) then described the MobiCloud
App Challenge and gave an example of some of the ideas that had already been
submitted. This was also well received and led to lively discussion about other
potential applications of MobiCloud to the construction industry and the shortcomings of current mobile solutions.
