I am a PhD student in Virtual Realit...Hi CODE517E,<br /><br />I am a PhD student in Virtual Reality.<br /><br />- I like to think a lot about my rendering ideas (in the bus, during break). When I have one I really like, I write it on a piece of paper or if I can't, in my phone. In the end, I have this kind of todo list of things I would like to implement. My PhD is not really about graphics so I implement those things at home during night or week-end.<br /><br />- I also read a lot of scientific paper (all Siggraph, Eurographics, I3D, etc) and put the articles I want to implement in my todo list. Also, reading papers is a good way to keep myself up-to-date with lastest algorithm.<br /><br />- On my desk, it becomes full of papers with time(but no high stack). Once a month, I classify all these papers. <br /><br />- On my computer, I have visual studio for C++ and Maya to create the 3D models I will use in my applications. (I have my own 3D format and exporter but I would like to get the Turtle plugin from Illuminate Labs). And I use SVN for code versioning.<br /><br />- When I develop, if I need to write, I use paper (I don't have a whiteboard).sebhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650504326449432531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950833531562942289.post-80334481259502817812010-01-12T09:39:43.172-08:002010-01-12T09:39:43.172-08:00Unfortunately many times openspaces are used to cr...Unfortunately many times openspaces are used to cram more people in a room, and not really to facilitate communication. They're very tricky, and often abused.<br /><br />I use the table-whiteboard idea too, it's neat even if I use just on one of my desks as another mean of sketching ideas.<br /><br />I won't stress myself over convincing everyone about an idea tho. <br /><br />Even if a given practice is really neat, not everyone will use it, just because there is a given cost in learning and adopting any new technique, and simply some people are willing to change only if they really need to.<br /><br />For example, I'm pretty convinced that VIM is a great editor, but I still can't care about learning how to use it effectively. Some programmers are even upset by that, thinking that a clearly superior solution should be surely adopted by anyone. In practice it's nothing like that.DEADC0DEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01477408942876127202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6950833531562942289.post-12596273467164359422010-01-12T02:21:38.356-08:002010-01-12T02:21:38.356-08:00We write highly complex real-time signal acquisiti...We write highly complex real-time signal acquisition, processing and visualization software with over 3,5 billion lines of C++ code and we have...a table in an open plan office.<br />If we need to have something extra, like a whiteboard, we need to scrounge.<br />Sometimes we put things up on a wall, but that's not really encouraged.<br />If you want to introduce something ( like making and storing photo's of whiteboards ) it's hard to convince management, because usually it starts from just a few individuals doing it. As such they don't find it a priority to budget for this. Convincing everyone of a new idea is hard, because there is no general technical platform to discuss it. <br />Handy things which our team does, like putting a whiteboard in table like configuration and sitting around it, so everyone can participate, is not picked up by anyone else. Even though they everyone enjoys the experience.<br />Some people sit in a bend of a nice desk, or in a very narrow space, or they put their monitor 4 feet away ( no kidding ) so it's impossible to pair up.<br />Nobody cares about any of this.<br />Thanks for letting me vent :)<br />You have an awesome workspace. If workspaces were basketball leagues, yours is the NBA.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06531767384905199206noreply@blogger.com
