Reality capture

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 […]

I've talked about this tool – which was developed by my good friend and colleague Murali Pappoppula and his team – a number of times in the past. I'm really enjoying seeing it mature, over time. This latest version has the capability to send photos directly to the Photo on ReCap 360 web-service, letting you […]

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'm sitting in Heathrow Terminal 5, waiting for my connecting flight to Geneva. A good time to reflect back on another intense week at Autodesk University. I arrived in Las Vegas for this year's AU last Saturday evening, flying via the UK on a flight that seemed full with AU attendees (even if Autodesk employees […]

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 […]
