Eric Rice goes virtual for New Years

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

I gotta get into Second Life. I hear Wells Fargo owns an entire island there to teach people about their bank.

I wonder if I charged a building or two to my corporate card would that get approved? Hmmm.

Anyway, just saw that Eric Rice is doing a live podcast (don’t we call that audio streaming?) and is gonna be having a party inside of Second Life on New Years’ Eve. I will have to try to join him. I hear Maryam is dragging me amongst friends’ houses in Silicon Valley. Hey, Maryam, only take me to the ones who have wifi!

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.

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.'

  5. Robert, I’ve been using SecondLife since it was in beta in 2001. It’s a very interesting social environment, with its own politics and economy. It’s also interesting from a computer science perspective. I did some research while in college using SecondLife on “artificial intelligence in virtual worlds.” I’m also on MSFT campus, so if you want a guided tour of SL I’d be more than happy to give it (Plus I might be able to introduce you to their CEO). Contact me via email or on communicator (I’m paulwh (at) microsoft, btw).

  7. Yeah we’re pinging them about getting an island for Slackstreet as a fully functional R&D/Backlot/Studio/Commerce/Party center. My home (and night club) is on the 16,000 sq m. in Palulop. Someone please buy that 22,000 sq m of Myrtle land pleeeeease.

    On a side note, you can podcast from your Audioblog.com account and have it show up as a music stream in SL. There’s a few more steps involved, but totally doable. Why you’d want to do it? Not sure. Because we can, I guess. 😉

  13. Second Life just seems too geeky. I was into Dark Age of Camelot for a while and those I’d meet kinda freaked me out. I’m sure most are really cool but just a bit weird for me.

  17. Robert, may I respectfully urge you to unwire and un-Internet yourself for your sake and Maryam’s on New Year’s Eve? Drink some bubbly, make new friends, kiss your wife… and stay away from keyboard’y thingies for a whole evening.

    Trust me, that’s what I’ll be doing. I’ll be waltzing, eating, drinking (albeit Martinelli’s — I’m driving), swing dancing, schmoozing, and — if I’m lucky — kissing. And IMHO, that combination beats internet’ing any day of the week 🙂
