Project Dasher

I just ran across this while looking at some Project Vasari videos for a Green BIM presentation I'm working on.  Autodesk Research is dipping its toe into some really cool next generation BIM stuff that really ties the model (and data) to real world use. Between this and some of the  other stuff going on over there, I think we're going to see some fantastic innovation in the coming years.  Take a look at this video and then go visit Autodesk Research.  I can't wait for some of this stuff to show up in Autodesk Labs.



From Autodesk:

"Project Dasher is a web-based application that helps to augment existing Autodesk® Revit® design models with real-time building submeter and sensor data on electricity and occupancy. Using meter and sensor data, Autodesk Project Dasher aims to demonstrate the value of integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM) and building instrumentation to provide building owners more insight into how existing buildings perform in real time and throughout the lifecycle of the building."

PS - Check out the Analytic Drawing project too!  Get ready to really start having fun with 3D models.
