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?

wow ,, it looks really high tech ,, guess technology has actually passed to the 21 century 🙂
can’t wait to see that working if i could off-course

Face detection software is scary. I don’t like it at all. It’s too “police state” for my liking. I think the only redeeming value is to assit in locating lost/kidnapped children or prosecuting criminals. Everything else is too spooky.
Britain has become a veritable police state with its cameras and face recognition software. No thanks.
Time machine, please. The 50s are calling…

Wreck, didn’t watch the whole video but I think the “Detection” part of this title is misleading as Gavin refers to it as “Tracking” which makes more sense. The police state technology is typically referred to as “Facial Recognition” where, similar to a finger print, if your picture was in a database it may be Recognized by the system if a connected security camera picked you up. Your face is mapped with biometrics and the technology is able to find you even with glasses or a beard disguise. Two companies were big in this space shortly after 9/11 but the technology back then was about 50% effective and that was in a Controlled environment. Haven’t really followed it over the last several years but “smart surveillance” systems are becoming more and more of a reality. The key is to automate most of this for Homeland Security as cities, like Chicago let’s say, are building London-like camera coverage and can’t possibly watch all the video all the time.

Kyle,
It’s still scary, even if you have nothing to fear. It’s the thin edge of a wedge towards control.

Thay’s a nice photo of paraglider on the computer screen. I think the guy on the scren is one of the Valic brothers world class paragliding comp pilots. I I noticed new cameras like Nikon D3 have face tracking and even human shape tracking features in their software. I wonder how it would work for tracking a paraglider flying across the sky. Face recognition will spread as more consumers businesses beyond Vegas casinos and government agencies get the hardware and software to implement it.

You think this is scary ….
This sort of technology is already being used by governments, military and law enforcement worldwide.
The Israelis have been at the forefront of face recognition and biometrics for years only now it is hitting the mainstream .

Image Metrics http://www.image-metrics.com has been doing this for years. They’ve licensed tech for porn detection, facial recognition and have already implemented most of the things Gavin talked about in games. Sony used the tech on a game for the PS2 called SpyToy where kids could log in through a mission impossible face scan with full face recognition not just detection. Screen shot here: http://www.us.playstation.com/PS2/Games/EyeToy_Operation_Spy/OGS/i/screenshots-6.jpg
The avatar driving example on the company home page should show you the state of the art now. I should disclaim I work for Image Metrics.

Speaking of facial tracking technology, (and hot on the heels of Cry-Gate), Microsoft Research developed a plugin called Digital Effects for Windows Messenger that could track movement/rotation of your face in 3D, allowing you to wear disguises (glasses, hats, etc.) and apply other effects…kinda cool, not sure if it works in the latest version of Messenger.

Well… this stuff is not face recognition, nor is it face detection, it is robust real-time 3D head-pose tracking.
It is unique in the sense that anyone can sit down in front of it and it immediately tracks your face accurately, with low-noise. Think NaturalPoint IR but without the head-gear. It works with any webcam. It can handle fast head-movements, very large rotation angles, occlusion due to sunglasses, beards, rubbing your face with your hand and dark environments.
Unlike the “kinda cool” (read gimicky) web-cam augmented reality stuff released by Logitech, Creative and Microsoft, I can only say that in comparison this tech is a *lot* more solid. It was originally built for driver drowsiness detection where there is obviously zero tolerance for manual setup or tracking failures. See http://www.seeingmachines.com/downloads/dss_demo.wmv
The image-metrics tracking tech is high-quality stuff for facial animation, requiring high-quality video and a significant setup process, so this is comparing apples to oranges. The spytoy stuff is simple face detection and a crude biometric, again a totally different tech.
Just wanted to clear that up.
Check the video on the home-page and also a couple more at http://www.seeingmachines.com/faceAPI-what-is-faceAPI.html
