I'm packing my bags soon for another trip across the pond for our annual, Autodesk-internal geekfest, TechX 2023. This year's event is being held in Dallas, Texas, a city I haven't visited in perhaps 20 years. I'm sure a lot has changed – we'll see! Photo credit: Robert Hensley, CC license. In any case TechX […]

It's that time of year again: the Call for Proposals for AU 2023 is now open! This year's event is back in Las Vegas – it's being held at The Venetian from November 13th-15th. Interestingly this is a Monday to Wednesday slot, presumably to avoid overlap with the Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix. I […]

It's been really exciting – and sometimes even overwhelming – to see the fast-paced developments in the space of Generative AI over the last few months. It's clear that Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI systems are increasingly playing a key role in our Future of Work. One thing that's often glossed over is […]

It's called "Make It Bridge", and the idea is that contestants – who have to be students aged between 13 and 21 and based in the USA or Canada (excluding Quebec, for some reason) – can place the geometry of the […]

Yesterday's Oscar ceremony was punctuated by a series of commercials (or adverts, as we call them back home) by Autodesk. The first few paid homage to a mythical filmmaker/visual effects specialist named Otto Desćinski – or Otto Desć to his friends. It was only during the third segment that the secret was unveiled, that the […]

I think I've mentioned in the past that in Switzerland the annual winter half-term break – the Winterferien or semaine blanche – is basically meant for skiing or snowboarding. Or sledging, I suppose. The canton of Neuchatel has its Republic Day on March 1st, so the holiday week always falls to include this day (other […]

Just as one APS Accelerator is wrapping up (this week's was held in-person in Pune, India and virtually around the world), it's time to think ahead to the next. And this next one is quite special. It's being held in the beautiful city of Copenhagen from March 20-24, 2023, and will have a particular focus […]

You don't have to look far, these days, to find dire prognostications about the death of the Metaverse. That's the nature of the hype cycle: those without the patience to help push technology through the Trough of Disillusionment move on to other things. Although the speed with which the Metaverse passed the Peak of Inflated […]
