I’m flying to the Netherlands tomorrow for the eDay conference this week. I am giving a keynote on Thursday.

The Future of Mobile: Ubiquitous Computing and Augmented Reality

We are in the midst of a rapid convergence of trends and technologies that will result in a cataclysmic shift in business, industry, education, entertainment, media, and communications. To survive this dramatic change, leaders must be thinking ahead and preparing to leverage new business models, social shifts, emerging markets, and new technologies. Robert will discuss the augmented reality roadmap, describing what the technology is, how it works, and what potential it bears. Further, he will address how the shift from mobile phones to mobile internet devices, the coming “internet of things”, and other trends combined with these new technologies will affect culture, commerce, and communication, as well as how to prepare for it.

It should be fun, I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone there. The conference organizers so far have been awesome, organized, and really on top of things.

See you in Rotterdam!

I’ve been busy! We just formed and launched an augmented reality consortium of eight leading companies focused on AR over at www.arconsortium.org

We will be adding more companies soon, and we will open up membership to individuals that are pioneers in academia, research, application, and theory soon. For now though, we are just focusing on companies and startups.

The future is going to be damned exciting.

Amsterdam. Ahhhh, Amsterdam! After more than 30 years, I returned to the Netherlands. I was a guest speaker at Mobile Monday Amsterdam (#momoams), which was one of the best conferences I have been to in a very long time.

Before I start blogging too much about my trip, there are a few things I want to say, clarify, restate, or answer that I didn’t have a good opportunity to do while I was there. Here they are, in no particular order:
