BIO:
Scoble gives you a front-row seat on the future.
Literally. He had the first ride in the first Tesla. Siri was launched in his house. He's been the first to share all sorts of technologies and companies with you, from Flipboard to Pandora to Instagram.
Today he's focusing on mixed reality, AKA "next-generation augmented reality" which will include a new user interface for EVERYTHING in your life (IoT, Smart Cities, driverless cars, robots, drones, etc).
That's based on his view thanks to his past experience as futurist at Rackspace.
Best place to find Scoble? On his Facebook profile at https://www.facebook.com/RobertScoble
He has been a technology blogger since 2000, was one of five people who built Microsoft's Channel 9 video blog/community, worked at Fast Company Magazine running its TV efforts, and has been part of technology media businesses since 1993.

SPEAKER PITCH:
Apple and Facebook now have revealed their Augmented Reality strategies, which means your business needs one too. Rely on Robert Scoble, the world's top authority on AR, to bring to your conference what businesses should do next.
SPEECH ABSTRACT #1:
TITLE: The Fourth Transformation: What's next in mixed reality (AR and AI) and the future of technology?
Here's an example of this talk at Leade.rs in Paris in April, 2017: https://youtu.be/52_0JshgjXI
Why "the Fourth Transformation?"
Soon we will have phones and glasses that do full on augmented reality. Everything you look at will potentially be augmented. This world is coming in late 2017 with a new iPhone from Apple, amongst other products. Microsoft is betting everything on its HoloLens glasses that do mixed reality and the industry is spending many billions of dollars in R&D and funding new companies like Magic Leap.
This future will be the user interface for IoT, Smart Cities, autonomous cars, robots, drones, and your TV.
This is a big deal and Robert will take you through what mixed reality is and how it will change every business.

SPEECH ABSTRACT #2:
"The Next Two Clicks of Moore's Law."
Over the next four years, or two clicks of Moore's Law, a ton about our technology world will change. Scoble will bring you the best from his travels visiting R&D labs, startups, and innovators around the world.
He views the world through his rose-colored-mixed-reality glasses, which will be the new user interface for self driving cars, Smart Cities, IoT, and many other things in our world.
He'll send you off with some lessons for companies both large and small.
++++++++
SPEECH ABSTRACT #3:
"Personalized Meaning: What is Augmented Reality For?"
As we enter a far more technological world where even cars drive themselves, I predict we'll see a blowback toward the analog, more authentic world.
What role does augmented reality play in both worlds?
Get Scoble's insight into where augmented reality is going, see tons of real-world demos, and understand what he means by 'personalized meaning.'

Awesome! I love fonts, who doesn’t love fonts?!
Fonts are cool, fonts are fun, fonts can also make you feel glum.
My computer has seen enough font’s for today. Thanks Scoble. 🙂 Subscribed for another day…
Now, time for that walk…

Fonts are kind of a boring topic to me mainly because the nature of fonts is to sell them and thus I stick with what’s already installed on the OS. It is very rare to find a good font for a particular purpose for free. FOr example, it wasn’t easy finding a non-proportional Arial for programming. Took a while, but found someone hosting an old MS file with one. Ultimately, I couldn’t get Visual Studio to use the font, so I gave up, but simply getting the font you want without paying is a pain.
I love Arial for UIs but thought Tahoma looked too much like Comix to be a serious UI font. I like Segoe (even though it’s virtually a carbon copy of Frutiger), but as I write a bunch of new WPF UIs that I’ve been wanting to do forever, I find I can’t a way to download Segoe to my XP machine to make my app more Aero-like.

I just hope Vista uses the new driver model to do some heavy heavy anti aliasing on the entire desktop.
Thats one thing where linux dominates, ever use ubunto with gnome? everything is just so… sharp!
from what i saw with vista beta 1, there does appear to be some antialiasing built in, but i hope that they make this a top priority. when you sit in front of a screen for 12+ hours a day you want, need, everything to be sharp and crisp.

Keith, that was humor, right? Please tell me that was humor.
Um, Stefan, “heavy heavy anti-aliasing” would result in fuzzier text, not “sharp and crisp” text. The sharpest text is aliased (jaggies). What you really want is just enough anti-aliasing to smooth the jaggies, without fuzzing it up. “Just enough” depends on the monitor type (flat screen vs. CRT) and other hardware specs, but is partly a matter of personal preference. The newer anti-aliasing algorithms use “sub-pixel” rendering on LCD panels, and looks much better than the older tech.
Yes, Vista will have anti-aliasing built in. I expect they’ll have a control panel that will let you select the amount of anti-aliasing, just like Mac OSX.

That’s great, Robert, but who the hell is “fbcontrb”? Couldn’t you get these guys to tell us a bit more about themselves. I have a friend from my Typography degree in the UK who came out to Seattle to join that team – it would be great to know if he was still there, or better still that he’s one of the bloggers. His name wasn’t fbcontrb though 😉

How about using a font other than nasty old Times for your blog then?

Thomas: you can set your own font. I don’t set it for you. I just use the default font that you set your browser to. On your browser it’s Times. If you’d rather read me in something else, just switch your default font.

Splashman: none of what I said was meant to be a joke, so you’re gonna have to be more specific as to what you are referring to and why. I am not joking when I say I haven’t found a good, free programming font that VS.Net lets me use in the UI, and I am not joking when I say that I don’t like Tahoma due to it reminding me of Comix.

You’re welcome to be bored by any topic, but “because the nature of fonts is to sell them”? Are you bored by programming languages and IDEs because most of them are sold rather than free?
Cheers,
