At Autodesk we're in the process of equipping a number of our offices around the world with high-end VR showrooms. San Francisco and Boston are already set-up with a number of others currently in progress. It seems likely that Autodesk Neuchatel is going to be one of the next ones to come online, which is […]

The Autodesk App Store Forge and Fusion 360 Hackathon is in full swing. It's running for another month (until October 31st), so if you're interested in earning some money for publishing apps to the Autodesk App Store, there's still time to register. The webcasts being broadcast as part of the Hackathon are of value to […]

I mentioned in yesterday's post that Cyrille and I were heading across to Lausanne to host an AR Meetup. It's our third Meetup for this particular group: the first was in the Autodesk office in Neuchatel, while the second and third have been held at the excellent Studio Banana. This one was really fun: between […]

I've had the pleasure of having Cyrille Fauvel from the Forge team with me in Neuchatel, this week. I've worked with Cyrille for many years, and we continue to be interested in very similar technology areas (particularly AR/VR, IoT and robotics/UAVs). So we inevitably have lots to talk about. 🙂 So it's been a fun-packed […]

A lot of people are asking me about HoloLens at the moment. And I really do mean a lot. This is cool – people are clearly excited about the possibilities of the technology – but it also means I'm spending quite a bit of time adjusting people's expectations about what they can do currently with […]

I arrived in Toronto on Sunday afternoon. Customs and immigration was extremely efficient – I just had to wait a while for my bag (one of these days I'll manage to do an 8-day trip with just a carry-on, but not this time). Getting into downtown Toronto was a breeze, too, with the UPExpress from […]

On Saturday I gave a couple of VR presentations at Micro16, an exhibition and conference held at Microcity, a (relatively) new technical hub in Neuchatel that houses part of EPFL. [I always pronounce Microcity with stress on the second syllable, much as Will Ferrel does when pronouncing "Metrocity" in the movie Megamind (so that it […]

After the fun of participating in last week's Hackathon, I headed across to Bern for SINDEX 2016. SINDEX is a biannual exhibition focused on industrial automation. I went to the last one and found it really interesting – well worth going back to, especially given my involvement in IoT and my interest in robotics. The […]

Hot on the heels of our own, internal Hackathon (although, strictly speaking, this one started before it) there's another external Hackathon running until the end of October. This one's about developing apps using Forge or Fusion 360 and submitting said apps to the Autodesk App Store. The event really has two distinct parts: A series […]

Over the last few days we've held Autodesk's first internal, global Hackathon. I started off by not wanting to join a team – I did sign up as an "evangelist", which it turns out means I'm also a judge – but in the end I decided to create a simple HoloLens application. And then Jeremy […]
