My surreal life #532

Augmented Reality 0 Minutes

How surreal is my life? Last night I was at Marc Canter’s dinner (he’s the guy who founded Macromind that later became Macromedia) and last night who was sitting next to me? Three beautiful women. OK, my wife was one of them. But, the other was Anina who is a fashion model here in Paris and her friend.

Now, for a geek, this is quite a treat, but Anina isn’t just another pretty face. She’s a geek too and is starting a whole business around that fact. She writes about the dinner on her blog.

The experiences here are just unbelieveable. Dave Sifry, founder of Technorati just walked in.

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.

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.'

  13. I really like this blog but dislike reading about how awesome it is to be you, or reading posts w/links to a another blog where someone said a nice thing about you, or how popular your blog is, etc. It just doesn’t seem very professional, and we readers have to weed through this stuff to get to the excellent journalism lurking deep inside.

    What is the value to the reader knowing that you are so happy to have this job, so liked by the industry and peers, and your blog is so well-read? We already know these things 🙂 Are you nervous we won’t come back to read again or tell others about the blog unless you convince us? We don’t read you because of these things – we read your blog because you bring to our attention incredibly useful information. Keep up the good work!
