How can hard-hat cameras capture images on a construction site?  What kind of technology do you need to digitize a construction site in this way?  How does this technology impact productivity and collaboration?  How are firms using this approach?  Can smaller firms take advantage of these solutions?

Tom Kotecki & Wojtek Szymczak from Oculo speak to Andrew Knight on these topics as they discuss how advanced computer vision and machine learning can improve productivity across the construction sector.
