greetings citizens in the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the Betsy to the universe I'm Ashley together and I'm Jeff kanata and it is time for headlines our first of which is Microsoft's announcement that the hololens has entered developer pre-order there are a few caveats though one you have to receive an invite from them to preorder one and two it's gonna cost you three thousand bucks ouch here's the good news if you did get accepted you'll have some fun testing out a handful of apps and games announced on Microsoft's blog including Skype for hololens a game called fragments where you solve a crime that plays out in your own living room and even Robo raid which we saw a demo of at a Microsoft event last October devices start shipping at the end of March and we can't wait to see what kinds of innovative ideas developers have for hololens now that dev kits are coming out this is kind of what changed the game for oculus is getting it out into the hands of developers and really having people run wild with it so yeah I know it's kind of out of the price range of average people and you you really can't even get it and that's a good thing I think cuz now we're gonna see the possibilities with this device and that's gonna make everybody want to buy it right I hope somebody's you want to buy it alright our second story is about Sony and they are launching an interesting futuristic universal remote that actually uses e-ink as its entire screen the hue is or the Japanese version of the name is pronounced how sue is a product of a kind of internal think tank at Sony called first flight where employees are encouraged to pitch ideas that could become real products hue is is the first product out of first flight the e-ink screen would be fully and truly customizable for each user it would use much less battery overtime while still displaying your controls and potentially connect to internet of things devices in the future the price about two hundred and fifty US dollars unfortunately this remote is limited to Japan for now so no word if we're actually going to see this remote come to consumers here in the states this thing looks really cool and it shows another example of how e-ink is really a revolution right now we're seeing on shoes we're seeing all kinds of stuff I think it's awesome I know - and I think this is a great idea because universal remotes can't predict what types of devices you have so to be able to customize buttons for every single thing that you own is pretty amazing so what story should we talk about hololens I think we got a man AR we talked a lot last week about VR dead but AR is sort of happening now as well and I think we should we should talk about on Thursday well if you guys want to get in the conversation you can use the hashtag hey TD over on Twitter yeah just shout at us using that hashtag on Twitter and then we'll incorporate the things you say on our Thursday episode and with that being said it's time for our photogra for the day today's photogra fer of the day is Hari who took this photo on their iPhone 5s I hope I pronounced that name correctly hari wrote in and said hello TD I clicked this photo from my iphone 5s during one of the chilly mornings we had in Virginia during them on the February you can see frosty snowflakes on my car window I clicked it from inside the car it's unedited I hope you like it and include it in the phone tog refer section on tomorrow daily thanks Hari that is extraordinary look at that really really artful picture it's so cool like I just I love the whole you know all of the frost is in focus and the trees are blurry I mean this is such a rad picture and high fives to you the one thing I don't understand Ashley is that February is cold February is let's colder for us is it because it's 85 degrees outside right now not a hundred and ten which means it's cold I don't know I just don't understand that kind of world you guys can send to your phone tog Rafi to just email us tomorrow Tina calm yes make sure you tell us what device you took it on and give us a little explanation of what the picture is tell us how to pronounce your name and also give us permission to use the photo on show you can also find us on social media we're all over the shop that is it for today's show we'll be back tomorrow with a brand new dog head of weird a wonderful science fact mean science fiction but until then be good humans bye guys you
