Through the Clean and Cool programme, Stickyworld Ltd has uncovered opportunities across the sustainability
and environmental sectors for deployment of its highly visual crowdsourcing technology. It has identified the
need to develop a strategy to reach and engage with large target organisations, and improve and contextualise
its demonstration material for potential buyers in a range of roles. Stickyworld aims to develop its business
model, pricing and demonstrable RoI for these organisations demonstration the value of crowdsourced ideas,
knowledge and feedback from invited internal or external stakeholders when developing new products,
services, processes or environments. Through the activity of the Pilot Drive project, the Stickyworld will work
with a specialist SF based SaaS consultant to refine its value proposition and RoI for the larger organisations
working in and around innovation, sustainability and environment. It will prepare new demonstrator material
that supports this improved proposition and will begin to engage several large organisations operating across
both UK/US locations with a view to developing paid pilots in 2018.
Stickyworld Ltd proposes to develop a novel approach to increasing the value of site inspections, with a mixed mode VR/AR app using a novel positioning system for mapping any environment in a rapid self-authored fully interactive 360 virtual tour. This can subsequently be leveraged for project stakeholder discussions, both offsite and onsite and creating time limited reports on progress, changes, tasks and completed actions. By leveraging the 360s inspections with offsite commentary, the SPoT system offers a significant productivity benefit in crowdsourcing more expert insights and opinions, and reducing the need for all the expert to visit site to inspect. It also increases the reusability of low skill content authoring that can be established in record time and democratising this otherwise specialist media format. This has significant benefits for all kinds of applications from construction inspection to health and safety regimes in any environments. The use of low cost bluetooth 4.0 Beacons enables sufficiently accurate internal positioning and an Augmented Reality mode for discovery in large complex spaces.The mixed mode centering around a autogenerated interactive 360 tour for locating tasks has not be tried before, and, coupled with our existing communications system and API offers an alternative, more flexible and relatively low cost approach to enhancing communications in complex changing environments and providing the value, enabling Stickyworld to increase its use case,customer segments and scalability across a range of industries.
Stickyworld and STS Nuclear are collaborating to test the technical and commercial feasibility of media rich
communications for engaging staff and supply chain in smarter knowledge sharing around the
decommissioning process.
Exploring a combination of immersive photography and video providing visual context to data sharing, the
team aim to demonstrate the potential for reducing cost in on boarding new staff and teams, and de risking
knowledge from the industry by providing and easy way to share technical know how about complex
environments, machines and processes.
Traditional methods of project engagement use various communication forms meaning that data is lost, often
introducing risks to the project. Stakeholders are also specialists in their area, with reduced knowledge of other
specialist skills. This platform will help them break down the barriers to other specialist to ensure everyone is
on the same wavelength, and everyone involved is well consulted.
Project Notch looks to accelerate the adoption of Community Energy Systems (CES). CES is a different way of
generating and supplying heat and electricity to homes and commercial buildings - locally produced energy is
used locally with minimal or no use of the national grid. The benefits are reduced cost and more efficient use of
distributed renewables to reduce the overall carbon emissions from the energy system. Most of the necessary
technologies are available but they are too expensive for consumers to invest in themselves and the business
model is not in place that shows companies how they will make a return, so they dont invest. Project Notch
starts with a blank sheet of paper: a new housing development in Nottingham’s Trent Basin. It brings together
all the companies involved in the energy supply chain with the potential buyers of up to 120 homes on site.
Involving heat and electricity the aim is to operate independent of the gas and electric grids. Using novel
consumer engagement tools and a focus on business model development the consortium will develop and test
business model templates that could be used by any developers of large scale housing projects.
The OnSoLa project looks to innovate in how Soft Landings and Government Soft Landings can be delivered
effectively and efficiently using digital communications. Stickyworld, BSRIA, COSTAIN, Studio Klaschka, CJS (UK
Management) Ltd, and NCTech will collaborate across 9 months to explore the commercial and technical
feasibility for a fully digitally enabled and supported Soft Landings process. Combining BIM, digital media,
online expertise via an integrated stakeholder engagement platform, the aim is to develop a digital platform
and supporting service that aligns perfectly with Soft Landings and Government Soft Landings process in order
to reduce risk of poor briefing, handover or operations which often occurs when end users, facilities and
suppliers are excluded from the design and handover processes. The OnSoLa project team will map, measure
and test the technical and commercial viability of packaging their solution for Contractors, their clients and
Soft Landing champions, combining technology subscriptions, content creation services and supporting
advice.
In the wake of the Chancellor’s latest budget announcement of a new £150m fund to support the custom and self-build sectors, Stickyworld Ltd has assembled a consortium to innovate with digital communications and design coordination tools tailored to meet the needs of the different stages of custom build developments. The Digitising Custom Build (DCB) project combines BIM in desktop and the cloud with interactive stakeholder communications portals and will demonstrate improved end user journeys for the customer. The system will be designed, developed and tested to provide a means to coordinate, communicate and control quality on site and culminating in a smoother handover process supported by helpful online interactive home user guides. The consortium comprises two web application developers, architects and BIM specialists, custom home builders working at small and volume scale, and supported by the National Custom and Self Build Association. Together they will collaborate over 18 months to develop and test the project technologies and workflows in three live contexts for projects at different stages.
Stickyworld is working on a native mobile app for use in consultation and feedback on the built environment. The app leverages Stickyworld’s API, and presents open data from maps and government data sets based on location, also creating new available data from citizens which can be presented back to the open data community for reuse. We seek the assistance of specialist mobile app designers for the user research and usability testing components of the project.
The aim of the project is to develop an assistive technology (AT) to support Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) through delivery of short video clips on a tablet PCs loaded from NFC tags embedded around the home. The idea is to provide helpful instructional videos for the ageing population so they can get things done around the home. The videos are made by their friends, family and carers, and then connecting helpers and care organisations together on a network to discuss the successes and failures.

The business proposition is to develop a communications tool that supports
concept development at the earliest stages of creative projects by sharing
visual presentations and combining them with conversations and stakeholder
feedback developed across the timeline of any creative project.
The tool will combine visual presentation material with the conversation data
captured online or by mobile with the purpose of supporting richer
collaboration and feedback on ideas, across multiple working scenarios and
time zones. This aligns with the increase in remote flexible working, but also
recognises the value of face to face meetings and formal presentations as
often marking key milestones of a project. The technology will convert
PowerPoints and PDFs to view on line and support asynchronous annotated
comments and discussions and also integrate voice capture via mobile phone
or browser input, to capture voice data from live meetings. In turn this
captured data can be represented as recordings or transcripts alongside the
asynchronous discussions, which can then be studied and included in an
audit trail of the project discussions and any decisions. All this stored online
and convenient for stakeholders to reference or exported as a report for
formal record.
The proposition is to further develop Stickyworld’s emerging online feedback
platform and extend its capability with presentation formats and for use in live
face to face meetings and presentation scenarios. We will test the integration
of voice capture services to create a single place for the presentation content
and associated conversations. The project will test the feasibility of this
proposition with user trials, in the lab and in the field. The team will work with
a university usability testing team to design and operate lab and field tests,
and capturing user behaviours on video for analysis. The results of the tests
will inform the team about usability, viability and readiness of their technology
concept for user adoption.
This proposal sets to test the technical and commercial feasibility of a hyper-local mobile service for consultation on local planning projects, including consultations on developer-led projects, local authority-led housing and regeneration, and community-led neighbourhood planning exploiting the opportunities presented by the new Localism Bill. The project builds on knowledge acquired from an earlier feasibility project led by Slider Studio and supported by Stickyworld Ltd in 2011 which scoped out the opportunity for such a service, and validated by feedback from local community leaders, professional consultants and local authority planners. This project now re-examines this in the context of a hyper-local mobile-first approach, developing and testing a new prototype with support of three local communities and exploring a viable business model from consultations on high value developments in city centres.
