greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily at the bestie talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley together Jeff kanata is up at GDC probably checking out the PlayStation VR event right about now but for now let's hit some headlights all right so there is a German developer who is doing some incredible things with virtual reality that you have to see realities IO showed off a stunning demo of various interior spaces in virtual reality that utilizes photogrammetry the technique uses pictures from a digital camera and in this particular demo a realities dot IO employee spent a little time stitching the images together and cleaning up the finished product specular lighting software added a great finishing touch making the rooms come to life as if you were actually their realities IO says they want to use this software mainly for virtual tourism so that they can give people the chance to visit and walk around places that were previously not possible for them to do so this is a beautiful example of photogrammetry and honestly I can't wait to see this used in a horror game because it's gonna be so realistic but maybe I'll wait to play that horror game until day time if you have glasses like me you might find this next story very very interesting Israeli company deep optics is working on some high-tech glasses that would be considered OmniFocus they would be able to change their focus in real time a layer of liquid crystal resides in the frames and sensors track the wearer's pupils when the frames calculate the depth of the object the wearer's looking at a small electrical current changes the liquid crystal effectively adjusting the wearer's prescription in real time deep optics says it wants to start human trials in a couple of years but until then they're gonna work on making the technology smaller and smaller so that they can fit a standard pair of frames so that's it for our headlines I think we should talk about deep optics but I have a feeling Jeff is gonna want to hear a little bit about the photogrammetry he's gonna want to talk a little bit about that so maybe we'll roll both of them in if you want to get in on the discussion you can tweet at us with the hashtag hey TD and if we like your tweets we will incorporate them on our Thursday long show when Jeff comes back that being said let's check out our phone talker for the day our phone talk over the day today is Brennan who took this picture with his iPhone 6s plus Renaud writes to us and says my name is Renan and I am originally from Israel but now live in San Diego this is from last night with my iPhone 6s plus on my street in San Diego and I give you permission to use it in the show by the way I love the show and like to watch it with my 10 year old girl she likes your glasses and how you change your hair thanks Renaud uh Vernon way to capture a perfect rainbow in the streets of San Diego although I think that is one of the places you can actually get a picture of a rainbow on a pretty regular basis because that city sometimes is perfect that is it for our show today if you want to send in your phone tog Rafi you can email us tomorrow at cnet.com gamers permission tell us a story and also tell us what device you use take your picture with of course we are always on the Internet you can share the show with a friend tomorrow daily comm Jeff we'll be back on Thursday like I said and we will be deep diving into all the news from this week but until then be good humans bye guys
