AU Class: The Latest in Cool Technology On Autodesk Labs -- 7 demos

As Shaan Hurley and I prepare our Autodesk University presentation for our class on cool technologies on Autodesk Labs, I wondered if we should have music to go with our slides.

AC2232 - The Very Latest in Cool Technology from Autodesk Labs

Perhaps each technology preview could have its own theme song? Since it's Friday, I used Spotify and iTunes to see what's popular. Some of these technology preview names relate to some pretty obscure songs:

Nah, we'll just slow the slides and do some talking. Actually as far as class content goes, I will talk about the Autodesk Labs process (technology previews and feedback) and Shaan will have some demos:

• Augmented Reality for Showcase
• Project Chronicle (playback only)
• Project Geppetto
• DesignScript (video only)
• Project FactoryModz()
• Project Basejump
• Project Falcon

We look forward to seeing you there.

Lesson planning is alive in the lab.
