 It seems large scale video projections are
becoming lately very popular as an instrument of marketing and a way of attracting attention in cultural events and art hubs. Here is a video projection from URBANSCREEN, a german company dedicated to the production of this special unique pieces of architecture in motion.

AutoCAD WS is available! iPhone and iPad included.

All innovations are welcome, let´s hope the rest of Autodesk applications also jump into it in the near future and more brands bring a necessary competitivity to shape things up...
