E-book Drones and the Creative Industry : Innovative Strategies for European SMEs
After providing an overview of the drones’industry history and its future evolutionfrom a technological point of view as a prologue to the book, in thisfirst chapter acontextualisation of the AiRT project is presented. We start by setting out theidentification of the problems on which the proposal was based, its objectives,methodology and work plan development, including the main achievements. Thedetailed explanation of the project structure and the different work packages, itsobjectives and resources deployment are presented.Then, the second chapter analyses the economic impact of the creative industry inthe European Union, followed by the third chapter, that presents the study of thecreative industries’needs and how their market is expanding and the demand forservices related to their activities is increasing.In the fourth chapter, the authors focus on one of the key points for SMEs for thesuccess of tech-transfer and innovation:financing. They do so by exploring thedifferent European instruments offinancing and how they could be applied to thecreative industries.In the following chapter, successful cases where technology and creative indus-tries shake hands are disentangled, with a special focus on thefilming industry,where technology is commonly applied.In Chapter“Storyboarding as a means of requirements elicitation and userinterface design: an application to the drones’industry”, the storyboarding methodis introduced, along with its use as a tool for requirements elicitation, and userinterface design in the drone industry is explained. The storyboards are universallyunderstandable and provide a common ground for sharing ideas, as well as fordiscussing and discovering new points of view. Storytelling in this type of technol-ogy transfer projects is very innovative and highly recommended.Chapter“Usability and experience of the creative industries, through heuristicevaluation offlight software for mapping and photogrammetry with drones”includestheanalysisof30meshormosaicflight plan software programmes, in order to carryout a technical analysis related to aspects of usability and design, with the aim ofoptimising the design of the software. In this study, a group of experts from theconsortium and SMEs from the creative industries and aviation sector participated.In Chapter“How a cutting-edge technology can benefit the creative industries:the positioning system at work”, one of the technical novelties that are integrated infinal product is presented: the innovative positioning system developed by Pozyxand its application for the indoor aerial and the creative industries.In Chapter“Indoor drones for the creative industries: distinctive features/oppor-tunities in safety navigation”, an analysis on the indoor drones’characteristics andthe differences from the existing RPAS is presented, with a special focus on benefitsand future opportunities for the aerial industry.Lastly, and before the conclusions sections, the links of the industry with thepublic administration are studied and best practices on pilots’training are presentedas an example of co-regulation.This approach to the project, will aim to provide a framework for understandingthe main innovations achieved by the AiRT project, which will be presented hroughout this publication. In the following paragraphs the objectives of the projectare disentangled, and the definition of thefinal user needs, as well as thefinal productrequirements are presented in the different chapters, with the objective of spreadingknowledge and helping universities and the industry with our experience.
