GoPro camera gets up close to the action.
Watching this video shot from a boom-mounted GoPro video camera, I was suddenly struck by the notion that this might just be a snapshot of the future.
Just imagine a world in which every demolition excavator came ready-fitted with a high-def’ video camera linked to a hard drive that could monitor, broadcast and record just what a machine (and its operator) was doing at any given time. A world in which arguments over equipment abuse and warranty violations were a thing of the past; when accident investigations required little more than pressing the play button.
George Orwell would be so proud.
