hell okay here we are CES in depth date too I'm Brian Cooley during my colleague Donald Bell brian Tong hello mr. Cooley here we are gentlemen hey how's everyone holding up good good well after last night's company party some holding us some holding up a little better than other yeah that's yeah my question is code for how are you holding up since the party all right well yeah I'm alive well we'll go into that offline later anywhere here at the live at the scene that stage of the Las Vegas Convention Center let's talk about the big must know products and cnet editors have spotted in the last 24 hours since we last did one of these roundups shows so guys let's start with something called LG home chat which was an ass couple days ago we first got a really good piece up on it here where you can use text commands to control and program you're smart appliances the idea here the LG says is instead of having to get another app and learn another interface and its own peculiarities just text the thing say hey fridge how you doing yeah one of the one of the examples that they used in this video is that it knew way lados it knows what's in your fridge right so you just say look for recipe and because it's a smart refrigerator it would then suggest a recipe to eat now I don't based on what's in my refrigerator I don't know if they could find somebody what's in your fridge oh let's say there's ramen there is spam refrigerator there is orange juice spirulina I'm sure you know some some moldy cheddar cheese so we could make a little quinoa yeah I do you take me as a quinoa guy come on a little Quino Quino there's got to be yeah I'm Oliver I'm a little uncomfortable with this I feel like SMS is a very personal medium and this is like a step towards my apply to become sentient and actually judging me for what I you know refrigerator don't refrigerate or takeout or don't or what I leave behind King one night and you know when you accidentally text the wrong person on your little text inbox they're saying that shouldn't going out that way well you know the things you might say to your fridge you might not want to say to any friends you big square dummy or hey I think you're cool uh-huh I'm found um anyway that's uh that's what's going on there yeah that's about as good as I've got right now ok how many folks here are using any kind of gesture control on their technology whether it's shake your phone or a leap motion or something like none of you okay and you can sleep during this story up elliptic labs showed our Jessica dull court something that is a new kind of gesture control built into mobile devices or it could be a laptop there she is showing it there but instead of using infrared or some kind of an optical technology it's using sound waves that are coming off the device toward you but you know they're harmless ultrasonic and I was looking over his shoulder while she was getting this demonstration and getting this technology down and it looks to be very very forgiving in other words it's not it doesn't have to have a perfectly clean environment around you it doesn't have stray light interference issues it looks kind of robust and you like what did you like it tho or I mean did you get a ticket out what I can tell you don't see her use it here it looked like it was you know more or less working right and some of the gesture technologies that we've used of all kinds they tend to be a little prickly yeah you know they work like every third time and that gets old in the hurry I just is this I don't know this is the perfect medium for it right I feel like we're pretty comfortable with directly touching our right devices but it's something Samsung would definitely adopt I think they want they want to throw everything at you they'll be the first ones to throw that in there Jessica thinks it might come out on the next on the next Galaxy just kind of looks like the counting that they might be there was I think that was a galaxy s4 like finger free finger free x5 and they had a little bit of that on the current s4 i think you know i do Jedi waiting on your pic yeah the Jedi on the glance away town but anyway that's that's the latest innovation we saw in gesture where do you really want gesture in your tech products I mean Leo if something you can reach you could reach what would you like to have gesture in that maybe makes more sense i think the the one that actually surprised me the most this last year was the was the nest smoke detector the girl was called yeah just one single wave where you just kind of wave at it and like stop beeping at me you're not the dog like the ceiling with the broom you can actually just like hey stop yeah i'm sorry i overcook the food this is so tops already judging me in text messaging me just accept what stop beeping the stoats already on you the baby this is the future we go right got that gesture control made sense to me that was like oh that is a qualification for them or television because it's hard to get to its across the room no one's cracked that not yet so we find those are pretty hitting man all right now let's see this is one this this goes to be T here he went out saw Ford's out here yeah out in or outside of the north hall area yeah and what do they show you there so what Ford has they have this what they call a vehicle to vehicle demonstration here this is a driver assisted system and basically what happens is these cars have a unit on top of module you'll see it in this video but it's a little shark fin and it allows vehicles to detect each other within range it's a why it sends out a signal every ten ten times a second it's Wi-Fi and gps based but these all talk to each other this is a standard that's moving forward it's not just on ford cars i know it's on all like eight of the OEMs and manufacturers that they're trying to push this forward but is a really nifty technology you're not it's not going to take control of your car that's right but it will give you an alert of warning whether it's an LED display on your car that you hear a sound also the like seats themselves have vibration or feedback if someone's on your blind spot you'll hear it here you'll feel it here i think the weird thing about this demo though is that they put the vibration in every seat when the car stopped but they didn't put it on the shoulders they put it right on the seat area that feel if you know what i mean and i felt it when it warned me it was a soulful experience it i learned something about myself all right tell me but I don't want though yeah so what it does is BTW mentions it doesn't take control of the brakes but it gives you an alert saying you need to hit the brakes because i've detected that a car maybe two cars up is stopped and there's about to be a pileup or a chain reaction so that's really cool because it can it can be retrofitted to other cars that don't already have it as opposed to real drive control systems that you can't retrofit to a car and then if the car doesn't have automatic braking it never will and then here in this demo this is that there's a big Penske truck in your right hand side so a lot of times you might be going through an intersection and you don't see a car that may not see you actually coming through so you're about to start your right to start right here and driving toward a cross intersection is what's being mocked up here exactly cross traffic coming from the right I had to put on my seatbelt buckle I didn't have my seat but on the whole demo and there you go and as that car went by that are blue red light based yeah yeah yeah and those two would have collided but that driver with BT was given a warning and good the brakes and as a result beans he's with us today and he I could have gone wrong was a scary demo that could have gone Romani our producers screamed driven with the girls for my life sony says you don't need to buy new computer you can turn any table into a computer this is a sort of a a new and refreshed idea the idea here is you can project a computer interface on to any surface this is kind of like a different way of doing that big it's an acer earn it lenovo tabletop computer yeah which is an actual computer but this is just a tabletop and the projector projects the computer and gives you the interface and detects your hand motions so you can control the thing we also saw similar things microsoft very early on had deserved tabletops the big surface yeah that was where it kind of started it was projection based as well but the projector was coming from the bottom and then up that's right it was under the screen yeah rear projection at least it kind of gets towards that Star Wars chest table effect you wish you seen all the kind of like you know high-tech drama movies these days they could get at the situation table okay you throw you a photo Donnell is just a terrorist you saw you know all this stuff it's all crazy we're spinning things around uh does this sound remotely realistic to any anybody hey do you really would we really use it today right now are we intrigued by it right if we had these over the ceiling would they be great to have it right here I mean I think there's so much ambient light in the world I would never get great contrast yeah unless I'm in the dim room I'm not feeling it but you know maybe maybe maybe you guys are i like i like the effect of it feels futuristic but i don't i don't think it's really gonna children you think would like it you're the father here i think my kids plenty happy it'll be an ipad walls about the malls if you ever see those little attraction games from the top run over a bubble yeah exactly that that that's that's a great use for it you know what you want the kid doing that on a kitchen table no not near the knives anyway alright t-mobile not a tech product but a tech policy they say switch over to us leave your current carrier and we'll pay your early termination fee now t-mobile has been kicking up a lot of dust lately they're kind of you know taking it smash mouth to a lot of other carriers with their whole uncarrier idea but this is a they're stepping up here mean that can be a big fee and they're saying come on over we're going to pay it for you it's you know they remain sort of a you know second-tier in terms of their size compared to AT&T Verizon so looking for something to do differently I thought one of the other interesting stories here that Roger Cheng one of our reporters posted it's up on our CES site how he inadvertently got the head of t-mobile thrown out of the AT&T party he museum with could come they did a selfie or something and he put it up I guess is he right any there it is this John Legere but who's for the heart is doing that the photo with Roger and then this one out and he s he did a hashtag AT&T or 18 tea party or something on the AT&T folks saw it said get out of here yeah he got he got escorted out right as he got a sorted out and then I heard he got back here I Mac because the roadies of the band that was playing him passing so t-mobile CEO will not be denied no but I do like I do like the idea of the getting bought out of your current guy I feel like that's probably for a lot of people as soon as I feel the pain of whatever situation they're in currently like um but I have like another year my contractor oh I don't want to sweat it out yeah yeah yeah but if John's just gonna lovingly just like buy you out of it's like he's paying for your divorce yeah you're done is fine hey Moe there's a parent who enables you like hard I'll bail you out but don't do meth again are you talking to Donald directly there's no well just okay okay different around the table okay don't look it's all I'm doing all right um now this support of the show where we normally have a we go live to one of our reporters out on the floor and we're gonna do that let's go to the CES show floor and see what Sharon Vaknin has been up to now Sharon tell us where you are and what you've got for us hey guys i am the most comfortable i have been throughout all of CES here i am lounging in the cnet lounge playing with a piece of technology we found called beam okay it's a telepresence device which means that you can be at two places at once using this it's a it's not a robot okay they're not calling it a robot it's a telepresence device so you log into your computer and there you appear on the screen and what that means is that you can go to work and be at work without ever leaving your house and that's how most people are using this device so the way I control it is with my computer and I'm gonna start doing that now okay I'm gonna I'm gonna ride this thing what I'm seeing on my computer is basically the device has two cameras one on top at the top of the screen I'm in another just below it so I can see the ground below me there she ain't guys oh there's your audience through this guy he says come here give me a hug right now that's right now you big LCD thing you yeah i'm lounging i don't even need to get out of here this is just doing closure for me there she is so good two cameras you guys how's it going over there I don't have to deal with all the bright lights don't have to deal with the crowds I'm back here enjoying my life I think I think you see a little more ice cream your legs got real skinny girl oh yeah sliced net look great thank you I have to say though I'm resisting like a bully impulse just push you over you know you see this helplessly with your reel spinning on the ground I'm defenseless donnelly honey that is too much effort actually I'm sorry I get an eight hour battery life it only takes four hours to charge it's not for everyone it is sixteen thousand dollars plus a few fees here and there okay but uh for the for the corporate guy who needs to be in two places at once thought about deal not bad pretty cool that's pretty cool you know the bad the battery life of eight hours is perfect for a work day as well right so that that's gets excuses for their smart about stay home yet be there could also you can incorporate a Roomba on the bottom to get some you know God is how your employer can buy shares that is so weird goodbye Sarah thanks ok I get the foreign to take a real quick break and we come back you know we got to do oh come on we got to play the game it's the game the game at CES wao we call a CES or see II know you know what we'll be talking about in just a few moments coming up back after a break here at CES live from Cena my dad had a Honda my mom had a Honda who was coming from a 2007 honda accord I traded in origin titanium no joke i test-drove 15 different vehicles I kinda was indifferent toward Ford and then i sat in the fusion for the first time but I just like wow this is it you have the power but she had the fuel economy that's what you go goose does I love to help people look at what board has to offer all right type of BT's favorite game bt's original game it's not your only game
