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.'

Is this something the developers did with the YouTube API they just released? Is it something others, like Flixwagon, can do too?

Sarah: I believe it is, yes. And, yes, others should be able to do the same thing.
Why do you like Flixwagon, by the way?
Did you visit Kyte.tv at SXSW? Which one do you think will win? I sure am enjoying the competition between these three.

It gets out of our system very rapidly, but YouTube needs to chew on it awhile before it’s available throughout their system.

Robert, I’m happy about that. I was going to write you an email, but I guess I’ll just comment instead.
Flixwagon allows you to customize your player so it can match your site. They have a cool widget that plays all of your videos in one place and allows your audience to twitter directly to their accounts with a remote ajaxy drop down sign in to their twitter.
Flixwagon has a longer lag delay than Qik, but has higher quality video. I’d rather have the higher video quality. I need to find my bluetooth headset so I can use that for a mic because the N95 mic sounds bad in loud situations.
Looking forward to watching all your videos from the Flickr party.

I watched the video with Patrik and the Newton and I’m jealous. I’m also envious of that battery you have for your N95. What type of battery is that?

Quality is an interesting topic.
Qik actually offers the user a choice: you can have the highest possible quality (up to 640*480, 30 frames per second), or you can choose a setting that will ensure your video has no delay over a wide range of cell phone connections.
Choosing the right default for our users is a challenge (and explaining how it all works is something we still need to get better at).
For the N95 (under menu -> settings) :
Optimize for -> Max Quality
Quality -> Normal (this is 320*240, same as the player)
— this will produce a good, 3G-streamable video on AT&T’s network. A lot of Robert’s videos are shot with lower settings, because what he’s really after is the realtime interaction.
If you are getting delay with those settings, and you want to prevent it, you can change the Optimize for to “min delay”. This will tell Qik that it needs to work to keep the delay at a minimum, sacrificing video quality if necessary due to low phone bandwidth.
And finally, if you want the very best possible image an N95 can produce, set Quality to “High” to force 640*480. If you don’t mind some delay while the video goes out (or if you’re on wifi), the results here can be simply astounding.

Nice! Is this integration automatic? Quite good for streaming video from the phone. You n95 users are lucky: 640*480 video; mine can’t even get 320*240.
So when’s that Tesla Roadster video coming? 😉

sarahmeyers: I just tried out your videos on Flixwagon and learned that you can’t do this: http://qik.com/video/35841 (live audience interactions).
Also, your quality seems very jerky compared to most of my Qik videos.
Also, did you know that you can upgrade your Qik quality in Qik’s settings? The reason I don’t do that is because it often can’t send those extra bits, so starts buffering, which gives my live viewers a bad experience.
More tests ahead!
Also, I can’t figure out my Flixwagon account password, so I can’t get the new version. Qik automatically downloads new version from the client. Much better!

I just streamed a presentation on iPhone programming yesterday from Mobile Camp Boston. I’m very impressed with the Qik quality and the settings were set at 320z240 15fps.
