Project Dragonfly at Autodesk Labs

Some of you may already be familiar with Autodesk Labs, a place where we put new technologies for people to explore and provide feedback on. (If you haven't seen the Labs yet, it's worth a look.)

One of those technologies is Project Dragonfly, a web-based 2D and 3D interior design program. It lets you build rooms with walls, floors, windows, and doors, and then furnish them with pre-loaded design content for everything from living rooms to kitchens.

I recently had the opportunity to help out the Dragonfly team by creating a short video from the Amazon shareholders meeting. In it, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos talks about Dragonfly as an example of software-as-a-service (an application of cloud computing).

You can watch the video on YouTube or in non-YouTube format over at Scott Sheppard's Labs blog, It is Alive in the Lab.

Dragonfly is a lot of fun and very easy to use -- I even used it recently to help me plan the layout of my new apartment...saved a lot of trial and error placing the furniture in real life. :-)
