Picture: Higgs boson simulation, Cern (Mette Host)

At the beginning of March I will be heading over to Amsterdam to attend the FITC conference, the annual excuse for designers & developers to get together in one of the coolest cities in Europe for two days of inspiration the dutch way… and I’m very happy to be presenting a brand new talk surrounding the programmatic approaches and practical implications of computer simulations entitled Simulating the Real. The talk is aimed at a broad audience so don’t be afraid to come along if you’re a non-programmer; a degree in particle physics is not required! ;)  As a point of relevance, I will also be looking at how the GPU accelerated Molehill APIs announced at last year’s Adobe Max conference will affect the capabilities of the Flash Player in the area of simulation, with the help of the latest Away3D codebase.

The FITC organisers have kindly created a special discount code for any members of the Away3D community – simply type “Away3D” into the discount code box on the registration page to receive a massive 10% discount on any conference pass! Hope to see you there.
