This class will show how we used the AutoCAD OEM CAD platform to create a mobile application that will enable users to process point clouds and create precise, detailed, and fully textured 3D models in the field. The discussion will explore how to exploit a Windows Surface Pro tablet's touch-based inputs through the use of a stylus and finger gestures. In particular, we will also demonstrate how to map traditional AutoCAD software commands onto the stylus controls. Due to a lack of real estate on tablet devices, creating an uncluttered, simple user interface is paramount to creating a successful commercial tablet application. Using the AutoCAD OEM platform, we will show how to reduce the amount of exposed functionality thus exposing only a few essential commands to the user via a clean, uncluttered interface. Lastly, we will demonstrate how to package the application with only the relevant menus, icons, and splash screens to create a finished commercial application that has a small install footprint suitable for a tablet platform.

Come to the reality computing booth in the exhibit area to see various reality computing technologies in action, including laser scanners, handheld depth sensors, unmanned aerial vehicles, 3D printers, augmented reality glasses, and more. Selected partners and the Autodesk, Inc., Team will perform tech demonstrations.

This class showcases a new Autodesk® product in the reality capture portfolio. We demonstrate an all-in-one solution—from capture to high-quality model.
