It was an amazing, whirlwind first day at the first ever Forge DevCon. I was there at 7am to put the finishing touches on the very cool Autodesk VR experience in the exhibit hall. The day's session kicked off with a keynote by Amar Hanspal and a number of other great presenters. I was really […]

My friend and colleague on the ADN team, Lisa Senauke, helped get a bunch of special-branded VR viewers for the upcoming Forge DevCon. If you're coming along and don't get one from attending my class, be sure to swing by the exhibit hall and pick one up. This is the latest "Google Cardboard"-style device from […]

Now that the Tech Summit in Montreal is over, I'm busy with the last bits and pieces in advance of the Forge DevCon in San Francisco. I know I mentioned at some point that I'm helping organise the VR/AR presence at the event – working with internal and external speakers and exhibitors – and it's […]

Preparations are in full swing for the Forge DevCon being held in San Francisco on June 15-16, 2016. Fort Mason is going to be transformed into a Mecca for software developers serving the AEC and Manufacturing industries (or people simply wanting to know more about the Autodesk platform technology). As I've mentioned a few times, […]

Right then, time for the big reveal. We've had three parts in this series discussing one basic approach for aggregating stereo panoramas from A360 cloud rendering into a site that uses krpano. Today we're going to see the code itself, and discuss where the project might go from here. If you're more interested in this […]

So far we've introduced this series and taken a look at the format of panoramic images both in A360 cloud rendering and in krpano. The next step – before publishing the code, which I'll do at the beginning of next week – is to take a look at the XML format needed by the krpano […]

Yesterday I had the honour of presenting a Swiss Tech Talk in Autodesk's Neuchatel office. I've attended a number of these events over the last year or so – on such diverse topics as Bluetooth, IP issues related to the cloud and IoT, and the changing face of management consulting – so it was a […]

In the last post we introduced the idea of a tool that can pull down stereo panoramas rendered in A360 and use them to create a local, aggregate scene for viewing in the Google Cardboard-compatible krpano viewer. Today we're going to start looking at the specifics of such a tool, firstly by describing the structure […]

In these two recent posts we talked about my belief that untethered VR technologies, such as Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR, can be used to deliver really compelling design visualization experiences. This series will focus specifically on how to create a multi-scene VR experience using A360 cloud rendering and a panorama viewer called krpano. […]
