Doug Look's Demo on Touch Wall

Doug Look from Autodesk Labs experiments with Autodesk’s design software on a Multi Touch Wall device, produced by Perceptive Pixel and invented by researcher and (TED conference luminary) Jeff Han. Multi-touch human-computer interfaces may dramatically change how products, infrastructure, and buildings are designed.

As you view the demo, imagine that you and your team of designers stand before a huge screen that acts like an intelligent whiteboard. With Autodesk Design Review, you can review each part of a model and interact with it directly. No keyboard or mouse needed. Multi-touch devices, combined with Autodesk software, have the potential to make design creation and collaboration much easier in the future.
