Real time positioning, communication, mapping and distribution of a remote object or person location

Instantview有一个概念，定位器，它将提供远程对象或人位置的实时定位、通信、映射和分布。GSA预测，到2015年，基于EGNOS的地图设备的收入预计将超过1亿欧元。Locator似乎定位在地图/地理信息系统市场中一个没有竞争的空间。Locator使用增强全球导航卫星系统(EGNOS)将用户定位在一米以内。远程物体或人的位置是在知道定位器单元到目标物品的方位、倾斜和距离的情况下计算出来的；该设备需要精确的3D罗盘。远程物品的位置连同对象/人的图像一起被推送到服务器以进行映射，并且可以被转发给该领域的其他同事。定位器重量轻，携带方便，不需要熟练的操作员。拟议的项目将按照普林斯顿2号项目管理原则从2012年12月持续到2013年8月。Locator的组件似乎可用并在许多替代设备中使用。挑战是将这些设备包装在一个紧凑的外壳中，并以合理的价格将这些设备推向市场。市场活动的证据将确定市场细分、未来需求、潜在价格和未知的客户偏好、需求和担忧。Locator的产品、功能和优势将与早期采用者和其他潜在客户进行验证，以确定最低限度可行的产品，以进行原型制作和初步销售。竞争对手将被识别和评估，潜在的市场和合作伙伴渠道也将被识别和评估，以便Locator可以有效地定位。

Instantview has a concept, Locator, which will provide real time positioning, communication,mapping and distribution of a remote object or person location. The GSA forecast that by2015, revenues for EGNOS-based mapping devices are expected to exceed €100mln. Locatorappears to be positioned in an uncontested space within the mapping / GIS market.Locator uses augmented GNSS (EGNOS) to position the user within one metre. The locationof the remote object or person is calculated knowing the bearing, tilt and distance from theLocator unit to the item being targeted; the device requires an accurate 3D compass. Thelocation of the remote item, along with an image of the object / person, is pushed to a serverfor mapping and may be forwarded onto other colleagues in the field. Locator is light,portable and doesn’t require a skilled operator.The proposed project will run from December 2012 to August 2013 using Prince2 projectmanagement principles. The components of Locator appear to be available and used in anumber of alternative devices. The challenge is to package these in a compact housing andbring the device to market for a reasonable cost.The proof of market activity will identify market segments, future demand, potential pricingand ‘unknown’ customer preferences, needs and concerns. Locator’s product, features andbenefits will be validated with early adopters and other potential customers to identify theminimum viable product for prototyping and initial sales. Competitors will be identified andevaluated, as will potential channels to market and partners so that Locator may be positionedeffectively.
