This is Software Engineer, Frederic Loranger, at work in our San Francisco office.

Frederic has been heavily involved in Project Twitch for a long time now. Most of his work has centered on hosting Autodesk applications on servers featuring a video compression technology that has very low latency - even for 3D.

Frederic has also been working on related items like hosting Autodesk applications on other platforms. For example, here is AutoCAD LT running on a server but accessed from an iPad. We can also do the same approach for Autodesk Design Review.

We are not at the point of having an Autodesk Labs technology preview with this particular technology, but if there is interest, it is something we could consider. Let us know your level of interest at labs.trials@autodesk.com. How do you feel about requiring an Internet connection? What are your thoughts about storing your designs in the cloud?

Pondering the possibilities is alive in the lab.
