Off to Davos…

Uncategorized 0 Minutes

You might have noticed that I’ve slowed down my posting here. That’s cause I crammed a lot of family time into the past week. Gonna be away in Davos, Switzerland at the World Economic Forum. Traveling today. I expect I’ll get lots of video up on Qik on my Qik channel. I also have a Nikon D3, so will try to post lots of photos. See ya tomorrow, got about 20 hours of traveling ahead of me.

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.'

  7. What do Davos and Kenya have to do with Technology?

    I hope you’re not uploading from your phone over the GSM networks. That would be fantastically lucrative for them.

  11. A Nikon D3? Wow, I can only dream!

    Robert, when you mention cool equipment, could you let us know
    1: When you buy equipment out of your own pocket.
    2: When it’s tax deductible.
    3: When it’s a loan.
    4: When it’s a gift.

    The reason I ask is, I’m drooling at such equipment, and it’s handy to know your priorities. You won’t believe how influential your comments are on me 🙂

  13. Here’s a software idea for Qik. A system tray icon that pops up a message or maybe even pops up your video when there is something broadcasting live. The same thing as having the browser stay at http://www.qik.com/scobleizer

    This way you could have thousands of people subscribing to your Qik channel and instantly seeing the video in their tray when they are by the computer, and with a full screen option even though the quality is low.

    I hope that you will be able to take many questions from your Qik audience when you interview the people at Davos and that you have some extra batteries for your N95 so it’ll last a long time each day. And hopefully you can get a Swiss HSDPA sim card that works in your N95.

  23. hi Robert,

    welcome back to Switzerland. Hopefully, the clean well help you recover from your recent infection with the Jobs virus…being in the media you are probably at more danger than most normal users.

    Have fun at WEF

  25. @Andrew,

    Nikon has loaned the D3 to Robert for 30 days. He has to and will return it to them at that time. As do most people who use the D3, Robert longs for one as well.

    @tacogirl, Robert is a great parent. If you only knew. Granted, “Crammed” wasn’t a smooth word. 🙂

  29. What’s that Qik crap, another startup you’re “stealthily” promoting? They don’t even turn your videos into a proper podcast for viewing in iTunes, you have to view them via a browser interface. Lame.

  31. @9. “cramming family time in” doesn’t make me think “good parent”. It makes think of a parent that says: “And on top of everything else, I gotta find room to ‘cram in’ some family time”. To me it should be the other way around. “cramming in work and blogging time”

  45. I interviewed some Nikon representatives at IFA about the D3 at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FacjKekL9Xs

    I like the idea of the Casio that shoots 6 megapixel at 120fps. They should put a huge buffer and store the pictures on a 2.5″ hard drive which there is plenty of space for in such a large reflex camera. And 2.5″ hard drives are available with up to 500GB so that would store hundreds of hours of 120fps 6megapixel with sound.
