First there were mainframe computers, then PCs. Then ten years ago, the iPhone marked the beginning of the smartphone era. Now, the Fourth Transformation is upon us.
Defined by VR, AR and AI, this transformation is the topic of the latest book from Robert Scoble and Shel Israel; and of their fireside chat at last week's VRARA SF Winter event.
Having applications and use cases in everything from shopping to healthcare and education, the Fourth Transformation will redefine our lives and work.
As we discussed on stage, the Fourth Transformation will play out in three waves over the next decade: VR, MR (advanced AR), then the shift to ubiquitous smart glasses.
We recommend the book, but to hear the breakdown directly from Scoble and Israel, our fireside chat is embedded below. The duo was as informative and entertaining as ever.
Also stay tuned for more session video, such as our interview with Lenovo about its diversified VR/AR strategies. And more San Francisco events will be announced soon.
