greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best peek talk-show in the known universe I'm Ashley sceva Jeff Kannada will be out until Thursday's deep-dive show but for now let's hit some headlines this is a really interesting solution that adds an almost realistic sense of touch to objects in virtual reality youtuber Scott Devine uploaded a video to his channel a few days ago showing off an interesting feedback solution for VR apps a robotic arm this is a Baxter robotic arm which we've talked about before on the show in this demo the user pushes wooden boxes off a little ledge using his HTC vive controller what makes it different is the Baxter arm is holding out a wood panel and repositions itself according to where the controller is so that when the user pushes the box they actually feel a slight resistance that's the same texture they'd expect if they were pushing an actual box in the real world this is a super expensive way to make a haptic feedback solution though because this arm cost around twenty five thousand dollars but it's still really cool to see the way fans have adjusted and experimented with the VR experience awesome stuff sack fans rejoice the future is now the very first commercial drone delivery took place here in the US a couple of weeks ago tech startup flirty partnered with convenience store chains 7-eleven to deliver Donuts coffee candies and even a chicken sandwich to a private home in Reno Nevada putting aside the fact that nobody ever eats a chicken sandwich they found at 7-eleven this is pretty cool the drone flew two containers to the house autonomously lowered them to the ground and then returned to its base other drones have been delivering things like medical supplies and emergency rations but this looks like the first time we've seen someone actually place an order for a product and then receive it via drone I am still worried though about the person who might have been bold enough to eat that chicken sandwich because honestly that feels slightly more dangerous than drone deliveries that is it for our headlines though if you guys want to talk about I feel like we need to talk about oh they're both really good stories but I think I'm gonna go with the drone deliveries because there's so many things going on with drone deliveries that have been happening recently and I think Jeff and I should talk about it so if you guys want to get in on that conversation you can hit us up at a hashtag hey TD tell us what you think tell us what you'd want delivered via drone if it was a snack what's your favorite snack food that you would have delivered all the time or what's the dangerous snack food that you probably shouldn't eat I'm gonna go with egg salad sandwich from a truck stop just like in Futurama it's a terrible idea uh but that is it and if you want to use our hashtag we'll put it in Thursday's show if you send us something fun and interesting and it amuses us because it makes us feel like kings when we pick out your tweets that is it for our headlines let's check out our phone talker for the day this amazing picture was snapped by Greg who took this on his iPhone six-plus greg writes hi Jeff and Ashley here are Stella my 11 and a half year old Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Sidney my boa constrictor Stella loves going everywhere with me and sometimes I take Sidney out too you have my permission to use my photos on the show it would be great to see a British entry wink note the car has the steering wheel on the correct side ha ha ha that's from Greg Greg you have some pretty interesting pets first of all the fact that your dog tolerates boa constrictor hanging out is pretty cool and also the fact that your boa constrictor hangs out in your car white drive round also pretty cool that is our pet photography that's the theme of this month's photography you got a couple days left maybe we'll extend it maybe we won't I don't know who knows what's gonna happen we're gonna tell you whatever the next theme is maybe we'll keep going because you guys have sent some really great pet pictures in but if you want to get out on the action and email a picture
