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.

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?

I doubt either the $3000 dollar body is what does it (nor the fact that he uses fixed focal length lenses). Fast lenses are what makes low light no flash picture possible (that and photographic skill). No matter whether they are zooms or fixed focal length — fast lenses tend to be pricey (but fortunately for us poor people both Nikon and Canon have made a budget(around $100) very fast fixed focal length portrait lens since the 80s).
BTW does Thomas have one leg shorter the other – a lot of his pictures seem slanted. 😉

Well, the imaging sensor on the 5D is better than the other bodies. And, because he has a variety of lenses he gets a different “look” than other photographers are able to get. He shot the Goto picture with a 135mm f2.8 lens, for instance. That blew out the background. You can’t do that with a shorter lens, or a zoom lens.

Nice photos, thanks for posting them.
In the Nikon SLR world, the new VR 18-200 lens has changed the playing field quite a bit. F3.5 + VR (Nikon’s high-quality vibration-reduction technology) means an effective speed of F2 or better, and the sharpness throughout the whole range is amazing. And it has AF-S autofocus, which is very fast and totally silent. Silent autofocus is a key to good closeups of animals, because most animals will visibly react to the strange soft sounds that autofocus mechanisms tend to make.
I know pros who have stopped carrying other lenses and just use the VR18-200 now. I’ve done the same, and it’s nice to stop worrying about keeping the sensor clean.

Wow!
I went to Thomas’s blog and a look at some of his other pictures.
Not the lenses or the camera making those pictures outstanding. My guess is that he could take great pictures with a disposable camera that had a plastic lens.

Surprised nobody has mentioned it, but a big contributor is the incrediblly low-noise of the full-frame Canon sensor that allows you to bump the ISO – I bet all of those were shot at least 800 and maybe higher. Combine that with fast lens (as noted) you can just about shoot in total darkness!

Hey Robert, thanks so much for the kind words. Photography is such a fantastic hobby.
You’re right about that sideways thing Brian. I’m not sure what it is about the 24mm wide angle that always makes me want to turn that puppy.
Alek, your absolutely right about the low noise in the full frame sensor. I’ve shot a lot of stuff at 1600 ISO with amazingly little noise. I get a lot more on my 10D at 1600. The biggest problem in really dark settings of course is still the auto focus on the lenses. I bring a flashlight on a lot of night shoots that I do to shine it on whatever I’m shooting with delayed exposure to lock the autofocus in before shooting the shot with a tripod.
Best,
Tom

Kelly Goto has defiled the good name of ethnography. She is a talented designer but consistently attempts to speak authoritatively on subjects outside of that realm on which she has a shallow understanding, succeeding only because her audience’s understanding is even more shallow and impressed by big words.
