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.'

This is lame. We don’t need another image format. Scoble, please tell me how this is better than say, JPEG, GIF, PNG, TIFF, BMP, PSD, PSB, EPS, AI, RAW, PICT, PBM, PDF, and all the other formats?
Answer that.

We don’t need another proprietary format. What we need is all formats to be open standards that are also in the public domain.
Microsoft embraces and extends far too much for my liking.

Yeh I really like that format, but am I the only one who doesn’t care about Dell’s blog?? I’ve read some of the posts and they are so commercial…its obvious that the posts have been moderated by people. Thats the beauty of personal blogs and to an extent blogs at Microsoft tend to be more explicit in the information that is published as you have pointed out in several of you’re interview on Channel9.

That makes sense. If you’ve paid for Windows (either standalone or OEM), you’ve paid for the R&D. If you haven’t, you haven’t. Why should you get a free ride?
Like the banner said, “Free as in lunch.”
Besides… surely the army of Open Source porgrammers could reverse engineer the format before Microsoft even releases it, right? I mean, The Collective being so smart, and all. Just like they’ve done with every previous file format, by every previous publisher, not to mention universal driver support on the entire installed base of all hardware. Boy, that Open Source army really can code the bejeezus out of everyone else.
Or, um, not.

Ray Lane is quoted by David DeWalt of EMC as saying that 75% of all software profit is held by three companies and 50% of that is held by Microsoft. Format lock-in is one of Microsoft’s most powerful tools for maintaining this. This “codec silo” explains why it is still so difficult to consume digital content on a large variety of platforms.

No, that does not make any sense whatsoever. I have paid for Windows, Office, Microsoft developer tools, and more – many times over. I want the freedom to use image formats wherever and whenever I want. I don’t think that’s too much to ask. For anyone that’s interested, there’s more on this on my blog entry “Windows Media Photo – Licensing Issues” @

Simon: “I want the freedom to use image formats wherever and whenever I want. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.”
I don’t either. However, the way you get to set your own rules like that is by writing *your own* image format. Feel free. Until then, you’ll have to be a grownup and live with compromises, no matter how much of a tantrum you make.
I mean… Take this quote from the post you point to:
“See, when I instruct lawyers to draft licenses for our software, I typically give them a brief to “make it simple, and less than two pages”. Of course, what I get back from them is usually a fifty page license. However, my response to this isn’t, “Thanks, guys, that looks really great!” – which is what it looks like the Microsoft teams do. My response is, “What part of ‘less than two pages’ didn’t you understand? Please do it again.”
That’s nothing but a childish tantrum, given today’s litigation prone society. One might as well say, “What part of ‘fitting a locally cached copy of the entire textual contents of the Internet into 32K of HDD space’ do you not understand?”
If your lawyers are so desperate for your business they’re willing to knowingly re-write your licenses leaving out contingencies, so you’re exposed to classes of litigation, just to quiet you down… Well, you’ll get what you paid for, eventually.

Awwwwwww – Hal, you didn’t like my blog! I’m so hurt 😉 LOL! Anyway, thanks so much for the lesson on litigation, software licenses and image formats! That was a kind of you. You’re quite, quite wrong, by the way. But hey, don’t let that stop you 😉
If you’re interested in expanding your mind, though, I’d recommend you read up on a few areas, such as “risk management, contractual aspects” and “intellectual property, licensing”. It is apparent from your post that you have much to learn on these topics.

Encumbered image formats are a bad idea, or are people around here too young to remember scary words like “Unisys”, “LZW”, and “GIF patent”?
