Autodesk University Main Stage Presentation download available

Scott Sheppard has posted video of the Autodesk University Main stage presentation.

This was a tour through the Autodesk Product line-up and preview of possible future technologies, that may or may not become real products. It shows a fictional company - Global Bubble - establishing a new office and manufacturing plant in Wellington, New Zealand. It was strange sitting in Orlando watching NZ being featured!

It’s a big (147 MB), or huge (465 MB), video file to down-load but well worth seeing. Also available (as separate 13, 65 or 96 MB down-load depending on format) is a tour of the completed building.

If you want to view it as presented at AU you’ll need a 20 x 80 ft screen, but it still looks great on a desktop monitor
