For those of you who – like me – weren't able to travel to Las Vegas for this year's Forge DevCon, I thought I'd do a quick round-up of the major news that I could extract over the wire. I'm sure there will be further blog posts from the Forge team summarising more of things […]

As much as I hate compressing so much into a single post, I don't see any other option if I'm to bring you all up-to-date. So please accept my apologies for not doing justice to New Zealand's absolutely incredible south island. In this post we'll talk about the first part of the journey through the […]

I mentioned this device, late last year, and have been meaning to spend time integrating it into AutoCAD ever since. The 3dRudder is an interesting perpheral: while currently targeted at helping seated VR users navigate intuitively in 3D – effectively keeping their hands free – it was originally intended for CAD users. So it's nice […]

There's a very interesting job posting that I wanted to highlight for readers of this blog: Autodesk's Immersive Experiences Group (IXG) is seeking a Senior Evangelist for Augmented and Virtual Reality. IXG is a fairly recently named group at Autodesk: I'm curious about the choice of the term Immersive, as my understanding is that the […]

OK, so that was perhaps a little mad. Earlier today I spent 5 hours on the train – going from Neuchatel to Zurich and then on the new SBB service via the Gotthard Base Tunnel – to get to Milan, had a coffee with my uncle (who lives and works nearby), gave a 30-minute presentation […]

On Tuesday, I'll be travelling to Milan and back (on the same day, by train) to present at a "3D / Mixed Reality" Meetup hosted at the beautiful new Microsoft House, headquarters of Microsoft Italia. I'll be talking about Forge and AR/VR, and I'll no doubt include a Dancing Robot or two, I expect. It's […]

On Friday I had an hour or so to swing by Autodesk's Munich office and check out the new VR Center of Excellence. I was on my way to the AEC Hackathon at TUM – Munich's Technical University – which was kicking off during the early evening. As I've found from our much more modest […]

I've talked a little about the VR room we have at Autodesk in Neuchatel. Our colleagues in Munich have been building something similar, yet on a totally different level: they've just officially opened their "VR Center of Excellence". And excellent it truly is – check out this video to see for yourself: […]

I've been interested in participating in – or at least attending – an AEC Hackathon for a couple of years now. I was first introduced to them during the VR Hackathons I attended in SF in 2014 and 2015 (Damon, Greg and Paul, who help organize the AEC Hackathons, were also organizing/involved in/attending the VR […]

I had a lot of fun presenting some of my WebVR-related research at the Expanding Immersive Design conference in Zurich, late last year. The recording of my session – where I demoed v1 of Vrok-It – is now online: It was very different conference for me: it was held at ZHdK - the […]
