Final Friday COFES session had a load of way cool stuff:<\/p>\n
Simon Floyd of Microsoft just showed an amazing video that imagines a future world with huge touch\/gesture screens everywhere, plus tons of other cool technologies. Watch it here: https:\/\/www.metacafe.com\/watch\/yt-g9JBSEBu2q8\/microsofts_future_vision_2019\/ (unfortunately this is low-res video).<\/p>\n
Also a video of a cool gesture-based ui with giant wall-size monitors.<\/p>\n
Face Recognition: A video and live demo of face recognition using an ordinary laptop webcam. No training — just sit down in front of the screen and start using your head motion to control, for example, a video game. Or automatically turn the computer off when you leave your desk. Or rotate a CAD model — wow. https:\/\/www.torbensko.com<\/p>\n
A really cool talk from JPL about how they rapidly develop lots of new concepts.<\/p>\n
A futuristic video of a man who designs an entire city from scratch using gesture-based UI. Amazing. Again I will try to get a URL.<\/p>\n
Then into the desert for socializing and gazing through giant telescopes at Saturn and M35.<\/p>\n
I've already had enough one-on-one talks with interesting CAD people, both old and brand-new, to make my whole trip worthwhile. My measure of worthwhile: can my meetings here eventually lead to something good for our SolidWorks customers. I believe they will!<\/p>\n
And another whole day of COFES ahead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
