Robert Scoble leaving Rackspace for UploadVR to explore augmented and virtual reality

Technology evangelist, author, and blogger Robert Scoble is leaving Rackspace to pursue an entrepreneur-in-residence role with UploadVR. He says that he’ll do the same kinds of videos and blogging he’s always done but now with a specific focus on startups and technology in the augmented (AR) and virtual reality (VR) space.

His last day at Rackspace will be April 4, at which point Scoble will start working out of UploadVR’s offices in San Francisco, where he will continue reporting on the work of those building games, applications, and hardware in this space. Scoble doesn’t know what his long-term plans are or whether he’ll eventually start his own publication or company.
