Augmented Reality and Deep Learning in the Design Process
The San Francisco Computational Design Institute is helping to put people at the center of the design process by making emerging technologies available to all. Alberto Tono shares the details.
Emerging technologies like augmented reality, deep learning, and machine vision are creating a new paradigm for design. San Francisco Computational Design Institute is a nonprofit that aims to make these advances accessible to everyone, young and old. A community of programmers, developers, architects, designers, and engineers, they are taking a collaborative, community-based approach, building bridges and making their work freely available in order to put people at the center of the design process. Alberto Tono, secretary for the organization, shares their mission and a few recent projects.
