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.'

Funny you should mention this. Right now I’m watching “Kitchen Nightmares”… Gordon Ramsey is a passionate guy, but it is tempered with the anchor of knowledge. In contrast, the owner of this restaurant is “passionate” but really he’s just a hothead– he knows nothing of the business or craft.
As a person who speaks in a very animated way, and as a person who is VERY passionate about what we do, I love that you captured that essence in this series of photos. Barak indeed has “the fire” (as we say of the kindergartners).
It shows in the product too.

Looks like you are having way too much fun with your new 5D! What, no postings about Facebook so far this week, and at least two mentions of your new 5D 😉 I think Robert has a new toy! Great photos by the way! One pointer on portraits, no matter how shallow or deep your depth of field is, if you focus on the person’s eyes, you will almost always get a good shot. Check out Bill Wadman’s 365 Portraits project site http://www.365portraits.com/ and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
Hope to be able to make it out to the Photowalk on 10-1. Oh and congrats to you and your family on the birth of your son Milan. I hope you are getting enough sleep…

Hans: it’s the 105mm f2.8 macro. I was shooting at too low an ISO for the conditions.

> it’s the 105mm f2.8 macro
The EXIF data in Flickr shows the shots to have a focal length of a 100mm however? If it really is a 105mm f/2.8 macro then I presume it’s a Sigma lens? If its the 100mm then it’s presumably the Canon EF 100mm Macro?
How do you find using the macro lens for portrait photography? I’m contemplating between the Canon EF 100 f/2.8 macro and the EF 100 f/2.0 telephoto lens and would be using it largely to take pictures of my kids.

Sorry, it is a 100mm — my old Nikon system had a 105, so got confused. It’s awesome.
Thomas Hawk has one of those and also has a 135 F2.0. He swears by that lens, says it’s his favorite.
The 100 is a great portrait lens, though, and the macro capabilities are useful elsewhere.

Thanks for clarifying that Robert.
I can only dream about the 135 f/2.0L. My budget will only accommodate either the 100mm macro or telephoto. Plus my camera has an APS-C sensor and not a full frame so 135mm would be a little too long for general use with a 1.6x crop factor (the Canon 5D body is another of my dream subjects :-)).

I have the EF135 f/2.0L also and use it with my 5D. It is an awesome lens! I have several other L primes and zooms and it is the sharpest of the bunch. It is probably one of my favorite lenses. The 70-200 f/2.8L IS is a close runner up as it has exceptional image quality also.
Andrew, The 135 is actually one of the lower cost Canon L lenses. It’s $899 which is still a lot of money, but you definitely get a lot for your money.
