I had a really excellent day, yesterday. I'd flown in from Munich, the night before, and stayed at the charming Zum Guten Glück restaurant/hostel in Zurich. After collecting my key I met Rob Morgan – who was also due to speak at the next day's Expanding Immersive Design conference – and we headed out for […]

This is the second time I've been at a Forge Accelerator this year in Munich, and it seems it won't be the last: there'll be another one in early December, adjacent to the European DevDay being held here, and I'm pretty certain I'll be back across for that. It was a fun, whirlwind three days. […]

Over the weekend I managed to wind down nicely after giving 10+ hours of HoloLens demos on Thursday and Friday at our Design Night events (it may well have been less, but feels like it was much more). In advance of the Design Night, I'd recorded a video that I ended up putting on a […]

It was a first for the Neuchatel office, so we really weren't quite sure how it was going to turn out. But yesterday's Design Night ended up being a huge success, with around 400 people attending. Wow! I was asked to be part of the core team organising the event several months ago. Aurelia, Olivier […]

Yesterday afternoon I popped down to the Case à Chocs in Neuchâtel to see the first of the robots being set up for tomorrow's big event – Design Night Switzerland, celebrating 25 years of Autodesk's presence here. (At the time of writing, there are still tickets left: get yours from here.) The first arrival was […]

It was an interesting week, last week, getting two HoloLens devices to coordinate. After talking about the network infrastructure, last time, today we're going to look at other levels of the problem. Logistically there's a requirement to have two devices: it might be possible to get it all working with a mix of devices and […]

Our Silverdraft Demons arrived from L.A. yesterday – they'll form the core of the VR installation in the Autodesk Neuchatel office. Today I had the chance to swing by the office to check them out: they were in our IT area being installed and bound to the network. I do like the idea of binding […]

I've been waiting for this piece of news for months: Autodesk LIVE – the "one-click" publishing workflow from Revit to high-quality, interactive 3D visualization courtesy of Stingray – now supports VR via the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift via a public beta. Admittedly it's more like two (or even three!) clicks, but the clicking does […]

The countdown is on… the first Design Night Switzerland is being held at la Case a Chocs in Neuchâtel on October 20th, 2016 to celebrate Autodesk Switzerland's 25th anniversary. (It's actually very timely, as la Case has celebrated its own 25th birthday, this year). The theme for the event is robotics: as I've mentioned before […]

My father used to take me to the Design Museum in London when I was a child: he was a graphic designer and deeply passionate about typography and all other things design-related. I have fond memories of those visits. When visiting The Boston Build Space a few weeks ago, I had the chance to meet […]
