These cloud based platforms allow users to upload data and make changes that can be exchanged in real-time. Many Autodesk tools included the term ‘360’ – Autodesk 360, PLM 360, BIM 360 Glue, BIM 360 Field.
The ease of use allows the technology to become an extension of thought, versus a tool that needs to be mastered.Ī snapshot of the Autodesk Formit interface Autodesk FormIt is also available on tablets, allowing users to create and manipulate 3D forms by using gestures. The simplified interface makes these programs more intuitive and accessible to all levels of users, rather than just the younger, technologically savvy generations. Both are examples of extremely powerful computing tools simplified for the user. Similarly, Autodesk Memento is another product that allows users to repair this complex 3D mesh with a basic point and click operation. The point and click interface requires minimal commands to stitch together photos to create 3D mesh and point cloud data for modeling.

Autodesk ReCap is a powerful tool which creates 3D models from laser scans or a series of photos. One notable trend was the clean interface of many applications. Jeff Kowalski quoted the futurist Alvin Toffler, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.” As we understand the plasticity of our brains - the brain's ability to change itself and adapt -not only will we realize the benefits of learning, unlearning, and relearning, but recognize that we are all endowed with this potential.Īmid the tools presented at Autodesk 2013 several common trends stood out, which demonstrate the opportunity for technology to facilitate how we think in addition to how we work. Technology can become a tool that motivates and facilitates learning and the exchange of ideas.

Open collaboration ties in nicely with the collaborative software packages that Autodesk offers, but also touches upon a larger trend: as we learn more about how we think, learn, and interact, technology has the opportunity to become more than a working tool to develop drawings. The idea of open collaboration was highlighted throughout the conference, as a positive resource to navigate the growing complexity of projects and the world around us. However, by sharing ideas we have the potential to connect to a reservoir of knowledge – not only within, but between organizations. In the opening keynote, Jeff Kowalski (Autodesk CTO) stated “humans are wired to avoid risk.” We are compelled to keep good ideas close versus taking on the risk of exposing them. In addition to using technology to produce and analyze complex data and physical forms, Autodesk presents technology as a way to facilitate workflows and collaboration. The variety of tools exhibited at Autodesk 2013 showcased how technology will continue to impact the way we work and think.
