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.'

As cool as this stuff is, what happens when someone builds a similar product on Silverlight or AIR? It seems like they’re knocking themselves out to engineer something that would be both easier to develop and more powerful for users if the platform wasn’t only a native browser.

Just last night I saw something with similar, although more techy-targeted… XWiki. (http://www.xwiki.org) (I have yet to put my notes from the meetup on my blog… But I’ll post when I do…)
Along with a lot of drag-and-drop JavaScript stuff, it has opened it’s whole API so that you can build on top of their stuff, even at the database and reference object levels.
It an open-source product (backed by XWiki.com who sells support/development for the platform) that seems to be more aimed at the enterprise market rather than the ‘social media’ market, but after watching the 8-minute version of the video, that’s what I was hearkening back to…

++Ben’s comment. Oh sure it can be done, but are you sure all those kids out there are going to spend the time creating pages like this when they can do worse already on myspace? Moreover moving friends over from one network to another is a real pain, you say that yourself… Is this more compelling than F8?

Ben,
I’m sorry we did not get the main point across. What is unique about Zude is the way in which pages can be created and how those pages can be connected together. Zude allows you to drag content from other browsers onto a Zude page. When it is received by Zude we place it in a container that you control. The container allows you to edit the appearance, behavior and actions of the object. Try it, pull up a separate browser and search Google for images. Drag the thumbnail picture of the image onto your Zude page and drop it. Once it is there you can resize it, move it, turn borders on or off or make it click to another page. All of this is done without programming. If you hold ctrl when you drop an image it will become your background.
It seems simple but these simple tools can help people build incredibly rich pages holding maps, videos, blogs, you name it. So we don’t really see Zude as a Social Network per se. Rather we see it as the logical evolution of Social Computing. Zude allows you to aggregate all of you web stuff into one place where you can access it easily and share it with others. This means your Myspace, Linkedin, Flickr and bebo can all sit on the same page. Likewise all of your favorite Blogs and RSS feeds can be on a page you call News.
When users start posting material that is important or relevant to others they can tag it for search or contribute it into a Craigslist like directory. It may not be for everyone but for people who use the web to do research, work, play or communicate it can be a very useful and engaging tool. It’s a lot more than we can convey in a short demo. I hope you will give it a try.

Ha! Tough crowd. 🙂
I think the drag and drop aspect is really cool, but as a content creator, I’m a lot more concerned about the copyright implications than they seem to be. Tracking where it comes from isn’t good enough, IMO. How many people are even going to bother looking at that? That’s like saying you can print a Harry Potter book as long as you name in the fine print who you stole the original from.

I created a “site” on Zude and I noticed a few things:
I got a Javascript error once (don’t remember where)
The back and forward buttons on the browser don’t work.
Dragging from the file system seems to work nicely but I can seem to drag stuff from another web page. If I do that it just creates a button/link to the URL of the page. Nice, but not what I’d think. I tried right-clicking on an image at another site, copying it, and then pasting it onto my new Zude site… that didn’t work either.
The clipart selection seems rather limited.
It’s got some potential but I think its got aways to go.

Robert,
I want SO BADLY to watch this demo, but your player UI is killing me. First, you ramble for a few minutes instead of starting at the demo point. I *try* to drag the little handle at the bottom of the player to get into the meat of the demo, but the handle snaps back.
So once the demo actually under way, I tried to enlarge the window … I clicked the “pop up” button, and it stopped. Dead. When I went to replay it, it started from the very beginning again, and again there was no way for me to jump forward a bit.
Please get a better player experience, especially if you’re going to be posting hour-long videos. I feel like I need to not touch my PC while this plays for fear of losing my place in your video, and end up getting stuck at the beginning again
