Coolest video innovation I’ve seen in a while

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

Asterpix, on Monday, will ship a new system that lets you put interactive links on top of videos. You can see how it works on some demo videos they have up on their site now. I’m going over there this afternoon to get a sneak peak, more later!

The problem with these innovations is that they can’t be mixed with other video innovations, like DotSub’s very useful multi-lingual captions. Plus they can’t be put on live video like those from Ustream or Mogulus. At least that I can see. I’ll ask about if this stuff is possible when I visit Asterpix this afternoon.

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.

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.

  3. Your own personal 1996-era Pop-Up Video creator. Just the perfect thing for all the brain-dead Youtube and Digg commenters, now they can scrawl on the video itself.

    “Interactive” has been a buzz-word since the early 80s, didn’t catch on with CD Rom ‘Multimedia’ crowd (except as ‘art pieces’), didn’t catch on within the training and hospitality/tourism industry, didn’t catch on with TV itself, it’s only really been a factor with all the spacey viral-marketing types, creating all that spywareish hypervideo. I highly doubt tossing a generic video overlay to the Web 2.0 Youtubbers kiddies is gonna save mankind.

    Coolest innovation? VideoClix has been around since 1998. The only real use of this tech, is the attempt to monetize video, via hypervideo commercial advertising embedding. Ugh.

  5. This ain’t new. It’s just a Flash movie that loads and plays YouTube FLVs with a comment layer on top synched with time range and screen region constraint.

    Primary reason others, including me, haven’t done it before is because ground is too shakey to build a house on, meaning YouTube can turn-off the faucet at will if and when it feels Asterpix is sucking more than helping.

    But then magic is not magic to magicians…

  11. Don Park,

    How do you surmise YouTube can turn off the faucet at will? You mean they can change their crossdomain.xml file so that no sites can load YouTube videos and you have to watch the videos on their site, thus rendering every single embedded YouTube video throughout the web dead in the water?

    And you think they’d do that?

    Or maybe you don’t actually know how the “magic” works and you’re basing your “they can turn the faucet off at will” from a lack of knowledge of how Flash’s security sandbox works.

    I think it’s best if you go back to your place in the audience and leave the magic to the magicians. 😉
