Michael had one of these Barcalounger setups in his living room and I fell instantly in love. Anyone have better seats for a home theater setup?

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.'

If quality isn’t really part of your criteria, I guess the Barcaloungers would do.
I went with CineTech, a company out of Dallas. Brentwood Communications in L.A. recommended them.
In the family room we have this
http://www.mycinematech.com/Seating/Equinox/index.html
for the theatre room we had them custom design seats that fully recline (for when someone wants to watch Out of Africa, or Istar, or some other boring movie.
Taste and quality are obviously relative.

LayZ… you’re absolutely correct. I just happen to love cheese. Besides, how can you resist a company whose promotional copy includes these priceless words:
“In the history of superior motion upholstery, Barcalounger has a storied reputation.”
What can I say? I had a budget, other priorities, and a weakness for storied reputations.

Christopher: good point! I wouldn’t even think of subscribing to a furniture line and I cut them some slack cause they aren’t in the tech business. FurnitureToday has RSS feeds, though. http://www.furnituretoday.com/index.asp?layout=learn_RSS
They aren’t alone. I found tons of furniture suppliers and stores with RSS feeds. Like Discount Bedroom Furniture: http://www.furnitureesuperstore.com/furniture-news.asp
By the way, is there a topic you don’t opine on?

Hm. I think most of the ones suggested so far look plain ugly (except maybe the Lovesac). But that’s just me. I would suggest a couple of Stokke Peel. Inspired by an orange peel.
