Autodesk Research

Did anyone else get an email today from "Autodesk Research". They claim to be running a study, and are offering $100 in gift certificates to volunteers.

Looks, and sounds a little sketchy.

There is one for an AutoCAD LT survey:

Yea, I got a similar email here at work. It seems legit, though the idea they want to research seems less than useful. Basically get you to install some spy/recording that tracks command usage, and later install an add-on that offers to predict the next command you'll want based on your past usage.

Sounds sorta like driving a car in traffic by looking out the rear view mirror.....
