hi,

I'm conducting a research survey for my MA project, researching into the issues and risks associated with arborists, and how new technologies might help improve processes and reduce risks. can any arborists please fill in this short survey.

thank you.

Emerging technologies for Arborists

Arborists is consider one of the most dangerous job to do. Workers are often exposed to dangerous elements and conditions on a daily basis. I am conducting a survey to explore this risks involved with the job and how new emerging technologies such as augmented reality might be used to help...

Hi

I’m so glad that you are soliciting survey help on Treebuzz

I left only one thread in the General forum. Having a link in all of the threads won’t work as well

You should spend some time reading threads in the Archive. There are a lot of switched on arborists here. They will chase details hard sometimes

Best of luck
 
Back in the early days of 320x240 VR I had a colleague who did augmented reality up to a PhD level. Cool stuff. But, I would ask you, what is the proposed meat and taters of what you're trying to do, how specifically you want to apply it? I know the gear is better now, but still sawdust grunting and sweat is a colliding world with head motion CGI and HAL 9000 tucked in your backpack. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see you pull off something successful. :)

More understanding of your proposed rig will get you better feedback I think.

More input, Stephanie... :) (from #5 is alive movie)
 
I will defer filling out the survey until it's been revised. You could use a go over from an arborist. Also, work on your grammar - you're an MS student.

H. Russell Bernard noted to me back in the day that surveys convey reliability, but not validity, while ethnographies convey validity but not so much reliability. To generalize, surveys and ethnographies are utilized more in social science fields and in anthropology, respectively. Treebuzz is very similar to an emic-oriented ethnography - written about arborists, by arborists, for arborists. You could work with one or more arborists to create your etic-oriented (about arborists, by non-arborists, for non-arborists) take on your chosen topic. Having a survey and an ethnography-type entry point might give you both the breadth and depth to make a well-rounded thesis. Might also be easier than chasing your tail in a circle trying to interpret the results of your survey.

I wish you all success and look forward to seeing this progress.
 
Yeah but look at the quality of the employees those bad employers are keeping,,, would you hire them? Or keep them after their first fuckup?
 
There's two basic things to view in the tree, yourself and the tree. Have you figured out some sort of instant modelling of the tree or something? Could be pulled off, but a hell of a hill to climb, definitely beyond masters thesis level. You can say you heard it here first. Royalties ? :) Put the cheque in the mail...
 
Machines are so, so much more dependable than employees.

The most dangerous situations I've been in, are due to employees choices.


Working solo is very relaxing. Scheduling is easy. I never have to plan, then re-plan because of employees not being available at the last minute or whatnot.



I'd gladly pay very well for a solid employee, ready to be trained to be a very solid professional, hiring to start in early September, working year-round.
 
Everybody knows that augmented reality is CGI'ing wire frame outlines etc on top of camera video or a direct view? Just FYI to understand what the guy is working at
