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. Learn more about Robert's speaking style and contact his agent at http://odemanagement.com/robert-scoble/Robert-Scoble.html ++++++++ 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.'

  10. Too bad the Cylon’s weren’t running Microsoft SDK backend’s, could introduce and process new hardware or trigger a new action slash update and bingo, BSOD. Humanity saved by Microsoft…

  14. Didn’t Sony just kill off Aibo (its consumer robot dog) and the whole of the company’s robotics unit a few months ago?

    Predicting the future is hard. Or rather, predicting the *timing* of events in the future will happen is hard. See, there’s no doubt that in the future, advanced robots will be pervasive throughout society. That’s easy. The difficult question is: when? Clearly, Sony placed its bet way too early; I wonder if the MS timing is better, or if it’s still too early?

  18. “Today, Microsoft unveiled Robotics Studio, for creating robotic applications. As usual, the toolset creates stuff for the Windows world, so Mac OS and other operating systems be damned.”
    SO what would the robots do when Windows is hacked or infected by a virus? Lol

  20. I know this question is not relevent to the post, but this is a place visited by lot of experienced professionals.

    I have been working on Microsoft technologies for last 10 years. Is it advisable to move to Java technology as it is imminent because my company is opted for it?

    I can imagine it now…

    Powered Armor refusing to boot up and BSoDing away, tanks going beserk bcause Chinese hackers have found inroads into their navigational systems and IFF transponders.

    I forsee a new era in robotics. The Bill Gates Era. We must embrace it. (j/k)
