Last week, Autodesk made an appearance at the SPAR International conference in Colorado Springs, Colorado, highlighting their innovative solution for reality capture—Autodesk ReCap. Over recent years, the laser scanning, measurement, and mapping industry has seen a significant influx of new technologies that are making these solutions more user-friendly and cost-effective, thus expanding their reach across multiple sectors.
The Autodesk ReCap product line empowers users to capture and incorporate reality data directly into their design workflows. Through demonstrations at the Autodesk booth during SPAR, it was showcased how ReCap is utilized in factory design, construction, and other industries. These presentations illustrated the seamless integration of point clouds and image-based 3D models within Autodesk's design and creation platforms.
At the event, Mike Jolicoeur provided an engaging demonstration showing how companies like Dearborn Midwest have enhanced their factory design and renovation processes. By leveraging laser scanning and Autodesk ReCap, they've managed to boost productivity while reducing costs—a win-win scenario.
Autodesk ReCap garnered considerable attention from attendees and even earned the prestigious "Best in Show" award from the CAD blog TenLinks. Roopinder Tara, founder of TenLinks, expressed his admiration: "What I saw from Autodesk at SPAR was truly impressive. With Recap, Autodesk has brought 3D modeling of the existing world to a new level of accessibility and affordability. Now, even smaller firms and individuals can utilize Recap to model everything from single objects to entire landscapes, which can serve as valuable references for information, modifications, or even as the foundation for fresh designs."
In another highlight, Autodesk collaborated with 3D Robotics for a captivating demo featuring the IRIS UAV at the picturesque Garden of the Gods. Attendees witnessed two distinct flights—an autonomously guided one and another manually controlled. The IRIS reached heights of up to 250 feet and stayed airborne for approximately 15 minutes each time. Equipped with a GoPro camera, the drone captured over 100 images that were subsequently uploaded to Autodesk's Photo on ReCap 360 web service. This resulted in a detailed phototextured 3D mesh, ready to be integrated into various Autodesk software tools for visualization or engineering purposes.
Robert Shear, senior director of Reality Solutions at Autodesk, graciously accepted the "Best in Show" award presented by Roopinder Tara. Meanwhile, a representative from 3D Robotics prepared the IRIS for its aerial feats, drawing curious eyes from both customers and media alike.
Tristan Randall of Autodesk took the stage to explain the entire capture process, walking participants through how the images would be transformed into a 3D model using Autodesk ReCap. The final product—a stunning 3D image generated from the GoPro footage—was displayed to much applause.
Additionally, the Autodesk team introduced the concept of Reality Computing to attendees. This emerging field combines digital and physical realms, integrating tools and technologies to digitize existing conditions, manipulate and analyze collected data, and apply insights back into the physical world.
Elmer Bol, director of product management for the Autodesk Reality Solutions group, remarked, "Reality Computing and Autodesk ReCap are reshaping how we approach and work with captured 3D data. It’s not merely about visualizing point clouds; it’s about deriving meaningful insights from reality data to improve design efficiency, build confidence during construction, and foster trust in understanding the physical world remotely."
Dr. Aaron Morris further elaborated on this theme during his talk titled "Turning Things Into Data, Data Into Things, and What Happens In Between." His session drew keen interest, prompting thoughtful discussions among participants.
Overall, SPAR 2015 proved to be an enlightening experience for all involved, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of reality computing and its applications.
