As always, the annual football tournament – this time in Barcelona – was a complete blast. The Neuchatel team was as strong as it's ever been, in my opinion, and played really well. We were in a tough group (yes, the proverbial "group of death"), but managed to qualify for the knock-out stage with 3 […]

Autodesk has maintained a health dashboard for its cloud products for quite some time. The good news for Forge developers is that – just in time for next week's Accelerator in Barcelona – Forge has been added as a line item: Given the internal response to the technical issues we experienced during the last Accelerator […]

There's a very interesting job posting that I wanted to highlight for readers of this blog: Autodesk's Immersive Experiences Group (IXG) is seeking a Senior Evangelist for Augmented and Virtual Reality. IXG is a fairly recently named group at Autodesk: I'm curious about the choice of the term Immersive, as my understanding is that the […]

OK, so that was perhaps a little mad. Earlier today I spent 5 hours on the train – going from Neuchatel to Zurich and then on the new SBB service via the Gotthard Base Tunnel – to get to Milan, had a coffee with my uncle (who lives and works nearby), gave a 30-minute presentation […]

On Tuesday, I'll be travelling to Milan and back (on the same day, by train) to present at a "3D / Mixed Reality" Meetup hosted at the beautiful new Microsoft House, headquarters of Microsoft Italia. I'll be talking about Forge and AR/VR, and I'll no doubt include a Dancing Robot or two, I expect. It's […]

I was asked recently by Bill Debevc to talk about Dasher 360 during an interview for the BIM Thoughts podcast series. It was certainly fun chatting about the project with Bill. I'm happy to see that the podcast is now live on the BIM Thoughts site. Enjoy!

Most of my team has been 100% focused on an event taking place in Toronto, this week, the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design (or SimAUD). This is a really interesting conference for people working in our space: I'm looking forward to attending myself, at some point. As the only non-Toronto based member […]

We've been busy working on a number of interesting features for Dasher 360 over the last few weeks. The main focus – at least from my side – has been to extend the filtering capability to allow people to filter sensors based on type and their location in the model. Not only that, but the […]

We're now in the last few days before the AU2017 – and Forge DevCon 2017 – CFP deadline on May 17th, 2017. Submit your class today! I'm particularly interested in your proposals related to Virtual, Mixed or Augmented Reality: despite not being able to attend the event, myself, I'm still running the AR/VR track. So […]

This year's Autodesk Technical Summit had a couple of fantastic parties. After all, the event's raison d'être is – beyond inspiring employees with excellent technical content, much of which I'll be going through offline during the coming weeks – to get a bunch of introverts to speak to each other. One was held at The […]
