Abstract: A system and method for managing construction and mining projects through a gamification process using computer vision and inertial sensing is disclosed. The system and method include detecting automatically, a plurality of machine-operations and work-activities by an electronic computing device mounted on a construction or mining heavy machine. The electronic computing device comprises at least one camera and one six-axis inertial sensor and is configurable to perform computer vision and machine learning through neural networks and state-machine logic for detecting the plurality of machine-operations and work-activities of the construction or mining heavy machine and gamifying construction and mining work-activity management based on the plurality of machine-operations and work-activities.
