Curious about mobile gadgets for field work? We tested several
new digital tools for recording visual and spatial information and
documented how to use them. The first three documents below can
be printed out to carry with the equipment. At the bottom of the
list is a survey to help us gather more input about how the tools
work.
A two-page procedural checklist for measuring buildings and spaces.
Covers Before You Go, On Site, and If There's Time. (Categories:
online, tools, built environment, spatial configuration)
Illustrated instructions to set-up and use the most common functions
for measuring buildings and spaces. Includes vertical measurements
for facades.
One-page reminder of essential functions for taking architectural
measurements in the field. Can be folded to slip next to Disto in
carrying case.
Tips for taking digital photos to make textured 3D models with
Photomodeler Lite. The freeware software can be downloaded from

Creating Digital Sketches [ coming soon ]
Comparison of options for sketching including the Seiko Inklink,
Logitech Io scanning pen and Alias Sketchbook Pro with Toshiba 3500
Tablet PC.
Tools Surveys
We want to know how well the field tools work, how their usability
could be improved and how they affect results. Your help in completing
these surveys will be most appreciated. Each one should take less
than 20 minutes.
