    Autodesk Platform Services
    Autodesk Platform Services (APS) is a growing set of web services that increase the breadth and depth of your ability to automate processes and flow data across industries and projects, enabling better, faster decision making and time to delivery of your products and services. APS APIs help companies build applications that tap into their design and engineering data. From automated processes to alerts, 3D in-browser to virtual reality, APS APIs can be combined with existing software systems to innovate how you work and get more from your data. When you render 3D and 2D model data within a browser, the models can come from a variety of applications such as AutoCAD, Fusion 360, Revit, and many more. You can also integrate with the Autodesk Construction Cloud to extend its capabilities to reach segments of the construction ecosystem that don't have direct access to BIM data.

    Cardboard SDK
    The open-source Cardboard SDK allows you to build immersive cross-platform VR experiences for Android and iOS. With essential VR features such as motion tracking, stereoscopic rendering, and user interaction, you can build entirely new VR experiences or enhance existing apps that support VR. Cardboard SDK provides everything you need to create your own Virtual Reality (VR) experiences for Google Cardboard. It supports essential VR features, such as motion tracking, stereoscopic rendering, and user interaction via the viewer button. With these capabilities, you can build entirely new VR experiences, or enhance existing apps with VR capabilities. You can use the Cardboard SDK to turn a smartphone into a VR platform. A smartphone can display 3D scenes with stereoscopic rendering, track and react to head movements, and interact with apps by detecting when the user presses the viewer button.
