WGAN-TV Matterort + SIMLAB STAGES Udates-#317-How The Brush Tool And Adding Notes – FESCH.TV

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

Dan Smigrod: For clarification, Marek, if I’m on-site and I’m using an iPhone or an iPad. Can I annotate in a similar fashion that you just said, take a snapshot.

[00:20:38]
Marek Koźlak: Yes, you can, but with our system, it’s pointless a little bit because if you are on location, you just use a camera inside of the iPhone to take a picture and then attach it to the note. But if you are standing in front of your desk and you want to communicate with the teams on a construction site, this is what you do. You add in your notes.

You add a place like assign a new location. You put it here, you select that. You say that you don’t like this hole. You turn it into an issue. You say that it’s in progress, you assign a person and then you can create a screenshot of this particular hole.

Like, „hole to fix.“ Take a screenshot. Then you take a color which you like, select like that and that’s a note that is being synchronized in a couple of seconds.

[00:21:39]
Dan Smigrod: Yeah, that’s awesome. For clarification, if you’re on-site, yes, you can obviously use your smartphone or tablet to take a photo and you probably are already annotating pictures anyway and you just upload that to the platform.

But where this feature that you’re describing right now really excels is when you’re not on-site, but you have the benefit of the Matterport tour.

You can essentially take a picture as if you were there and annotate it. I think just to add one thing and you may have taken it for granted, but I believe you were zooming in and out when you were working on this.

[00:22:15]
Marek Koźlak: Yes, I did because, of course, using a full resolution of the Matterport camera, you can actually have pretty detailed screenshots of the issue because it can be a leak, it can be moisture on the floor which you can identify like this, and then attached to a note and share it immediately with all of the collaborators.

[00:22:37]
Dan Smigrod: Awesome. Anything else to show us on the Brush Tool Kit for adding comments to screenshots?

[00:22:43]
Marek Koźlak: Yes, let’s add the comment because for me this is the package. You just created a picture and then you record audio.

I was showing this two months ago. But let’s say [recording audio], „hey guys, you’ve missed this hole in the wall, please fix it as soon as possible.“ Then you add, „a hole in the wall.“ You put the same and it’s going to the same library under the same note.

It’s going to the same person with much more data that he can actually understand very intuitively what we expect from him. Once he picks up the issue or the task to be solved, then he can make comments. All of this is being recorded as the project data which is happening here.

I did not put the name of that note, but this is being recorded and captured, and documented, and there is no excuse. I didn’t know about this or it’s not my job.

[00:23:42]
Dan Smigrod: Awesome. Maybe come off screen share for a moment.
