Well, the summer has definitely arrived and we have been enjoying the amazing weather, like everyone else lucky enough to be in Ireland at the moment. When we get the weather, it's hard to beat Ireland.
Last week Mossy and Martin started collaborating with the University of Ulster as we enter the testing phase of FSAI's new Calorie Counter system. This is a tool that makes it easy for chefs and restaurateurs to calculate the number of calories in the meals they prepare.
Internally, we name our projects after birds. It's an easy way to come up with a name that is memorable and a good working title. Project Thornbird is one of our longest running projects and is coming to its conclusion: Mossy is putting the final touches to the Windows Mobile application and partner web application. The system allows our client's consultants to use their phones to conduct site surveys, allowing them to spend more time delivering value to their clients and less time reporting.
Mossy also started work on the European Sharepoint Conferences's 2014 conference in Barcelona. Conference-goers can soak up the timeless architecture of Antoni Gaudi, while attending one of Europe's leading I.T. Conferences.
Trevor attended the 9th European ITS Congress, hosted in the Dublin Convention Centre. There were some fascinating talks, such as the briefing on MOBiNET, and it was great to catch up with others in the Intelligent Transport Systems sector.
Trevor also spent some time researching machine vision solutions based on compact high frame-rate cameras such as the Flea 3 to detect motion for an upcoming project.
