There's a lot happening in the Reality Computing team. Firstly, there's a new Reality Computing blog in town. Be sure to bookmark it or subscribe to it to keep up-to-date on the goings-on in this fast-moving field. Secondly, [thanks to the blog we know] there's a series of webinars – starting today, apologies for the short […]

It's Good Friday, so much of the world will be offline today, but I thought I'd post quickly on some (good) news that may be of interest to people. The ReCap team has officially launched a new partner program. This provides access to a number of mechanisms for integrating with or harnessing Autodesk ReCap products […]

I thought I was done with my posts for the week, but this was too good not to share. The below video shows a scene being captured using a GoPro Hero 3 Black edition on a 5-second timelapse setting mounted on a DJI Phantom drone and processed with Photo on ReCap 360 before being used […]

Aside from being St. Valentine's Day, Friday is notable as it marks the beginning of the first ever ETHx class, "AMRx – Autonomous Mobile Robots". ETHx is the moniker being used by the prestigious technical institution ETH Zurich for the MOOC courses they're delivering as part of edX. This is exciting: despite the fact I […]

I've pulled together a few miscellaneous updates that relate to Autodesk's Reality Computing efforts, which – as I mentioned earlier – is a term that's intended to include "Reality Capture" at the beginning, followed by "Reality Modeling and Analysis" and then "Reality Delivery". Firstly, looking at the capture side of things… Photo on ReCap 360 […]

During the general wind-down before Autodesk's annual "week of rest", I've been spending some time this week getting more of my AutoCAD-Kinect integration samples working with the pre-release Kinect for Windows 2.0 device and SDK. Things are actually working pretty well: all samples – barring those that rely on capabilities that aren't yet part of […]

I was hoping to get the Kinect for Windows 2.0 pre-release developer kit in time for AU – so I can talk about it intelligently, even if I don't end up demoing it – so when the UPS delivery man showed up, yesterday, I was very happy. As always, it started with a simple box: […]

As mentioned in yesterday's post, on Monday I spent a few hours in the early morning at the local archeological museum, the Laténium. While this is nowhere near the scale of the Smithsonian, it is the largest archeological museum in Switzerland and is well known by people in the field, especially those interested in La […]

Last week was an exciting one for the organisation at Autodesk that works on "Reality Computing" (a broader term I've seen recently that includes "Reality Capture" at the beginning, followed by "Reality Modeling and Analysis" and then "Reality Delivery"). Their big announcement was a partnership with the Smithsonian – the venerable Washington DC-based institution that […]

Earlier this year I came to know about a "local" company called senseFly. (When I say local, I mean they're also in the French-speaking area of Switzerland, which is a relatively small region of a small country… I suppose that would be considered local by some standards. 🙂 senseFly started as a spin-off of the […]
