Uncategorized 1 Minute

Tonight I was over Rocky’s house and got a message that I could download the new Qik video streaming service to my cell phone. Cool, “let’s try it,” I said to myself.

It only took a minute to download and install.

Now there’s a “qik” icon in my applications folder. Click on it on my Nokia N95. A video window pops up, says “connected” and there’s a button called “stream.” I push that and this is the result. Rocky realizes that it truly is live, albeit with a five-second delay.

Holy s**t. I can stream live video to you now from anywhere at anytime. No longer do I need to wait for Kyte, Seesmic, or other services to upload videos.

I push that button and the live stream turns to a recorded video. Instantly.

Freaking amazing. Wait until I hook this sucker up with Twitter.

Imagine being at a conference, telling people “visit my Qik” and turning this on so they all could watch.

My world has just changed. Thanks Qik! Watch my page for some more videos coming later today.

The quality isn’t the best, but it’s watchable and that’s all we really need considering that video is coming to you over a cell phone connection.

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.'

  22. I have been using the comvu pocketcaster service on my n95 the same sort of gig really but I will check out this one.
    I get to run it over 3g here in the UK and even did one of our SL wimbledon press conference behind the scenes gigs with it.
    I tried doing one of those california style driving on the freeway things.
    The problem is, well this aint california. Usually the driving rain and stop star traffics does not make for a good shot 😉
    It did seem to be having some problems when I just checked epredator.tv, but I am sure it will be back

  25. This has amazing implications for just-in-time learning as well. Dial up your guru, ask him/her to turn on the ol’ cell, and see how it’s done.

    Your resolution was enough that I could even make out the screens pretty well.

    World-changing indeed.

  35. If qik.com is smart they would simply use the twitter api to build that functionality into their application, then those of us that carry two cell phones (pretty much just Scoble and his big head 😉 ) could do it all form the same device. Plus, they need to include commenting on the web page for each video, or better just include one of the many universal comment application providers out there. That we could all comment on Scoble shooting video of wasted friends! (all in good jest, don’t eat anyones shorts!)

  40. That was amazing Robert – chatting to you via Qik as you walked to the Apple store – mad! 11 p.m. here in UK and you were loud and clear though the person you were talking to was tinny as I said. Great fun!

  43. Take a look on this – it works perfect in Germany with all mobile operators. Do you need only a standard 3G phone and it works – call a number and press video call, that’s all! No software installation, no clients, no config – only call a number and let’s stream to your Facebook and MySpace account. Unfortunately it works in the first phase only in Germany/Europe. best regards Daniel
