ikeGPS Spike Intro & Demo

Most private organizations and government agencies are looking to reduce field data collection costs and improve the effectiveness of their field data collection. As a growing trend mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets are a great way to do that. In order to get the best bang for the buck you need to use a commercial off-the-shelf solution that will adequately replace the multitude of tools that are taken into the field today, reduce time in the field, and collect a wide range of field data. Spike accomplishes that task.

2. Introducing Spike: the world’s first laser accurate Smartphone measurement solution
3. Quick and easy location and measurement ...time to measure is reduced to minutes https://youtu.be/pqL_6kSzA-g
4. Spike Product Overview
5. Basic Technical Specifications Category Details Device & OS iOS v8.0 & Android 4.4+ / Smartphone & Tablet Spike Size & Weight 3.30in (h) x 2.35in (w) x .82in (d) / 2.05 ounces 83.70mm (h) x 59.8mm (w) x 20.80mm (d) / 58 grams Connectivity Bluetooth Smart 4.0 – Bluetooth Low Energy Laser rangefinder Eye safe laser supports 2 – 200 meters(6 - 650 feet ) Accuracy Laser rangefinder accuracy is ± 3%; Photo measure accuracy is ± 3% Units Meters + Centimeters or Feet + Inches Resolution Dependent on Smartphone or Tablet digital camera Output Formats Spike File (XML), PDF, and KMZ. (HTML, JPG – Android Only)
6. How to use Spike: 3 Phases Setup • Attach Spike to a Smartphone case • Install & launch app • Calibrate laser & compass Measure • Take a photo • Draw measurements (no manual input) • Measure in feet, inches, meters, or centimeters Report & Share • Export as PDF, JPG, Spike file (XML), KMZ • Measure from your desktop using online, cloud-based tools
7. • Using the Spike app, point the laser at the area that you want to measure and take a photo • Spike uses the laser rangefinder distance to set the “scale” of the object • Using the Spike Align tool, identify a natural occurring rectangle on the surface • The alignment rectangle sets your horizontal and vertical angles • Scale & Angles are used to produce an accurate measurement Photogrammetry …the science of making measurements from photographs
8. Spike is being adopted by different industries • Construction • Sign & Digital Graphics • Defense and Intel Agencies • State & Local Government • Facility & Asset Management • Insurance
9. Performs 6 Core Field Functions: 1. PHOTO MEASURE: Accurately measure objects and features within a geotagged photo; 2. POINT TO POINT MEASUREMENT: Laser measure distances between two objects in 3D space 3. REMOTE CAPTURE: Laser-based targeting of features safely, accurately and remotely; 4. COLLECT GPS LOCATIONS of features with an offset; and 5. CREATE A GEOTAGGED PHOTO with an offset of the assets physical location 6. PUBLISH, COMMUNICATE AND COLLABORATE with location and measurement data in common industry file formats Spike Turns a Smartphone or Tablet Into a Geospatial Multi-Tool
10. Measure when and how you want …from the Spike app or the online tools (cloud)
11. One site visit for your measurements access the photo at anytime to remeasure or view measurements In the field At the office
12. Pick the export format that works best for you …select from PDF, JPG, Spike file (XML), shareable URL, KMZ From the mobile app From the cloud
13. For the user: 1. Safe, remote, contactless location and measurement 2. Reducing field data collection errors with a photo verifiable reference and GPS location 3. Spike gets more people into the field collecting data creating a cost effective – low risk – high reward field data collection strategy. 4. Inconspicuous field data collection 5. Spike will migrate to future iOS and Android platforms providing long term interoperability For Technology Integrators and Software Vendors: 1. The Spike solution is a great extension of your technology to drive a broader mobile adoption 2. Spike collects 5X more data for analysis than standard smartphone collect Spike: The Value Proposition
