Yesterday I finally took the time to work on one of those tasks that had previously never quite bubbled up to the top of my priority list. Since I've been working on Dasher 360 I've put up with using the developer tools built into Chrome for debugging. While these are pretty good – especially with […]

Autodesk turned 35 years old, today. To commemorate this event, Shaan has suggested we all wear our oldest Autodesk shirt. I know I have an R14 ARX T-shirt somewhere, but I can't seem to find it (it was always about 5 sizes too big, so it may well have been thrown out). The best I […]

Today is a good day. After long months of preparation, the VR room at Autodesk Neuchatel is up and running! We're still waiting for a sofa and chair for waiting guests to relax in, but otherwise all is finally ready. Here's a quick video I shot to show you around the room. I […]

In the last post we talked about a recent optimization to Dasher 360, where we implemented a point cloud rather than individual SVG-based markers for our various sensors. As mentioned, last time, this was pretty straightforward to get working, but did add some complexity: rather than having seperate DOM-resident markers – which can easily have […]

At the Forge Accelerator in Munich, back in December, while I spent most of my time answering what questions I could about Forge I also showed up with a question of my own. In the original prototype of Dasher 360 we used code from a very helpful sample that showed how to add SVG markers […]

The work is nearly complete on the VR showroom in Autodesk's Neuchatel office. Before the big unveiling – which will probably happen early next week, although it'll probably be a month before the last furniture shows up – I thought I'd share a few snaps taken during the complete build process. Here's a photo of […]

I received an email from a development partner yesterday checking in on Autodesk's VR offerings. It occurred to me that while I've spoken about them at the DevDays in the US and Europe, I haven't posted anything here. So here's some fairly up-do-date information on what technologies Autodesk has in the VR space. The way […]

The big news of the last week or so is that the Forge DevCon – which was held at Fort Mason in San Francisco in 2016 – is moving to Las Vegas for 2017. It will take place on November 13 & 14, i.e. Monday and Tuesday of the Autodesk University week (which in recent […]

I'm once again across in the fine city of Munich. I flew again from Bern's local airport, this time with a couple of colleagues from other parts of Autodesk. Here's a quick photo I took from the window as the sun was setting over the Alps. It was nice to be above the fog for […]

Happy New Year, everyone! This is my first day back after two full fantastic weeks off. We were up in the Bernese Oberland for the full 16 days and even managed to ski (or – in my case – snowboard) for 13 of them, despite an initial lack of snow. At the beginning of the […]
