You've heard us (and others) talk about how great our inaugural conference was this past June. "Object Culture" was an inside look at the design process illustrated by projects incorporating 3D printing, storytelling, viral videos, C-suite strategy and more. We've now published videos of the day's presentations for those of you who couldn't make it to the live event.

The presentation from Jordan Brandt, Technology Futurist from Autodesk, is just a taste of what the day had to offer:

According to Brandt, cloud applications are helping us move toward more effective product development and realization on a daily basis. We, as designers, can collaborate and converge on solutions more efficiently, rapidly and with less cost and greater success. What are we learning from the cloud and from our design thinking in general that can help us teach our machines how to design? By making our algorithms intelligent—determining what is significant in the elements being searched—machines can produce a multitude of goal-driven design options. The designer then begins to focus on framing the problem, and asking the right questions rather than explicitly drawing the solutions. Brandt shares some revealing insights as he considers these questions during his Object Culture presentation.

Autodesk was our presenting sponsor this year and we were joined by supporting sponsors KeyShot, Polk, Boom and Protolabs. To see all the videos from the day's speakers, head on over to the Core77 Conference website.
