Key Notes

• Currently there is a serial exchange of data (binary)
• We can send raw geometry via the web (through Flux)
• Programs can be run through a cloud (e.g. can access Rhino through the cloud)
• To provide an “on demand” service via Flux (our aim)
• Look into automated design workflows (e.g. ACADIA ’15 Hackathon)
• As a computational designer, you can share data to everyone else via Flux to create efficiency

Key areas to add to group research:

FLUX APPS
