PicoDiCon

The general goal of the PicoDiCon project is to create a paperless on-line solution for construction workers to easily display up-to-date 2D and 3D drawings and other construction related materials on site. There is currently no user-friendly and reliable technical solution for replacing printed materials in construction sites by electronic information.

To achieve this goal we will develop a rugged and robust pico-projector and PDA based solution for the construction industry to enable a “paperless construction site”. Our solution will enable the display drawings and other construction related documents on-line on construction site without need for large and expensive ruggedized PC’s and extending current PDA’s limited display area. It will be an easy to use, reliable and affordable solution for construction SMEs, who can project image on any flat surface on construction sites. Our consortium represents 9 participants from 5 EU countries.

The PicoDiCon project has now been ended. For all interested there is available more documentation and technical information through the Project Coordinator EpiCrystals Inc.
