In this recent post we looked at a new 2D heatmap capability that we've added to Project Dasher. In this post we look at what was needed to make this heatmap resizable – but with a fixed aspect ratio – as well as being movable and displayed with a transparent background. Luckily, this previous post […]

A nice article was published recently on Redshift regarding Kingspan's new IKON building. The article focuses particularly on describing how IKON furthers Kingspan's commitment to innovation and sustainability. In this post I thought we'd look in a bit more detail at how Autodesk Research has been involved in the IKON project, specifically regarding the deployment […]

A week or two ago, I had a meeting with some colleagues to discuss future needs for Project Dasher. One of these requirements related to an exhibit where we're going to want to ignore all the 3D visualization of sensor data, and focus on the 2D case (I.e. where we shade a 2D floorplan with […]

Last week I posted about how roll-ups in the time-series back-end used by Project Dasher enable some interesting visualization opportunities. When my colleague Hali Larsen saw the post, she made a really interesting suggestion: It would be cool if the user could select whether the heatmap visualizes the Max, Min, or Average of the data […]

When we started developing Dasher in late 2009 – back then it had a desktop client – one of the main drivers was around providing an interface to explore IoT data (at the time measuring building performance) responsively in a 3D context. To do this we knew that we needed some way to summarize the […]

Since starting up back in 2013, the AEC Hackathon team has organised 43 in-person events in various cities around the world. This year being "special", they've taken the plunge and set up a couple of online events, the first was held from July 6th-26th while the second will be held from October 9th-25th. I was […]

These days I belong to the Research Engineering team at Autodesk, headed by Tony Ruto. (Tony joined Autodesk with the acquisition of Within Technologies, back at the end of 2014, where he was CTO.) Tony's team is a shared resource for the various "Core Science" and "Industry Futures" teams within Autodesk Research: we help develop […]

This post is a bit of a grab-bag of various event-related topics. The first one (chronologically, if not in terms of the title above) is the availability of session recordings from the recent CanBIM event: "The Future of Work: Designing Resiliency and Building Work Safety Post-COVID". My own session was entitled "Using Generative Design and […]

There's an exciting job posted for a key role in a new project (product?) team at Autodesk named Constructwin. Here's some information from the posting: Do you want the opportunity to be part of a startup environment and have a big impact on a brand-new product? Are you looking to be at the forefront of […]

While I announced the sharing feature – and its corresponding API – some time ago, I still had some work to do before it could go live on the Dasher site: largely around supporting timezones properly when specifying time ranges for data display, but there were some other minor tweaks needed, too. Anyway, the feature […]
