This seems important, but I'm not sure what it does? Is it an amped-up version of Revit with additional sun analysis tools thrown in?
this could be cool...
Google X works on the "secret", second-priority (but still amazing) projects, like Glass and driverless vehicles. So public information seems intentionally vague, even as Genie is passed on to Vannevar Tech (founded by Google X folks). It's in prototype stage now, so definitely something to watch.
Sounds like cloud-based/SAAS CAD/modeling. Would love to see plain ole 2-d browser based drafting for us little people...
