“The next generation will be a full set, found in two suitcases.
This would let a colleague see and access the protocol lists and logs at the same time,” Weissenberger explains. “I would like to provide a full set, containing the binoculars, a computer and a WiFi hotspot.
#SMARTSCOPE DOWNOAD HOW TO#
Now, they’re looking at how to put the different electronics into the housing and even implementing a voice recorder so the observer can simply tell the program what they see - and have it put into the logs. He’s not considering it a finished project, it’s quite the contrary - he wants to push it even further. “It’s a very funny project as it’s very low-cost, doesn’t take much of my or the programmers time to set up but the people who use it have a better workday,” Weissenberger says. They’re currently preparing the scope for exploration, as they wanted to have a crack at it. Now, the SmartScope gang are helping users learn the tool, getting to know it’s functionality and building the kits. He was impressed by their curiosity and willingness to learn, which he says was present all the way from the beginning. Working with IT SI was a very positive experience for Collin-Hansen. Together with Jürgen Weissenberger, the man with the initial plan, he put the SmartScope to the test in the fjords outside of Trondheim. We didn’t have the means to download large datasets from the boat, so this was crucial,” he says.Ĭollin-Hansen had tested the binoculars before embarking on the ship. We were absolutely dependent on the SmartScope being robust and user friendly - it had to be a stable system that wasn’t dependant on daily updates. “The main goal of the trip was to see if the SmartScope could be a tool to help ease and improve the work that the observers do. But he also had a well-prepared set of binoculars with him.
Collin-Hansen served as a marine mammal observer, alongside two seasoned veterans.Īnd with a skilled team teaching him the ways of the land - or in this case the sea - he caught on quickly. Breaking your way through the icy wastes outside of Newfoundland and Labrador Canada has its challenges and really put the SmartScope to the test.
