Over the last week I've been heads-down on core Dasher work, but with very little visible result. Here's why. Early last week I received an email telling me that it was time to dig into Dasher's use of 3rd party components and make sure there weren't any security issues. (This isn't something unusual – all […]

I've been thinking a lot about "technology wars", of late. Some of this has been driven by my foolings around with Floppy Fridays – thinking about the competition between 8-bit computing platforms, back in the day – but other musings have been prompted by links I've been sent in various newsletters. For instance, here's an […]

It's time to talk about a little project I started over the holiday break: connecting Project Refinery – the optimization engine for Dynamo that will help drive Generative Design workflows – to Virtual Reality.

As a great way to demonstrate the promise WebAssembly holds for software developers, AutoCAD Web was showcased during yesterday's developer keynote at Google I/O. This is well-deserved recognition of the important work done by the AutoCAD team on the Fabric project (and on AutoCAD Web itself, of course). Congratulations to all those involved!

If my calculations are correct, I'll be in Singapore during this year's Autodesk University in Las Vegas. It's the first I'll have missed for many years – and it's going to feel more than a little strange, when that week comes along – but this trip (and my family) will be taking precedence, for once. […]

The AutoCAD team recently released a preview version of a new AutoCAD web viewer. Give it a try using the latest version of Chrome. What's interesting about this is that it's very much a taste of things to come – something I alluded to in this recent post. Here are some screenshots: The top three […]

There's a new WebGL-based technology being developed by Autodesk and it's completely awesome. And you can request access to it today. Project Play has been in development for some time. It has some shared lineage with the Smithsonian X 3D Explorer – although I'm not sure to what extent, if any, they share code – […]

As promised, way back when we started this series of posts looking at various Windows Holographic platform capabilities to build an app that displays an animated ABB industrial robot inside HoloLens, here's the part where we make it dance. 🙂 During Autodesk Switzerland's 25th anniversary party in late October, people will be able to give […]
