on today's show a new implant may help paralyzed people walk again vr is now going to help people solve court cases by getting the jury onto the scene of the crime ooh and GE has a new CT scanner that is showing our insides in crazy good detail this is all pizza and disdain mm-hmm sera daily citizen through the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley Skeletor amis always punch in the sky pilgrim at the legend Colin Armas yeah I'm here I'm excited we get to talk about PR you got a haircut it fell off yeah it's just well like every six weeks your hair just sheds in your new cut yeah you saw it money but yet it's too short but it makes it so that it takes the video a lot less time to load it's so you're welcome America all over Lanka wig yeah um we have a lot of really cool stuff today like stuff that I'm super duper interested in so let's not waste any more time let's hit the headlines okay I'm gonna try really hard not to butcher this name because it's long and it's not American so researchers at the Ecole Polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland that was pretty good I feel like I got kind of close there you did a little much anybody sure and ok um so here about a year ago they showed off this system that allowed totally paralyzed rats to walk again and so now they have a new flexible version of that implant that is designed to integrate with a human patients spinal cord oh that's fantastic ok so check this out this is crazy um and so that's the implant it's totally flexible it's stretchy it's implanted directly onto onto the spinal cord so and these are completely paralyzed rats that were able to walk again which is insane this is straight up future tech you guys it uses electrodes to convey current to the spinal cord so it tells tells it where to move there's that there's more to it than that if you want to see the details you can jump over to cnet com there's a whole description of how this works I don't want to I don't get too deep into it because I am obviously not a doctor but it's really really awesome because because of the fact that it's us flexible and stretchy it actually there is a lot less chance of it rejecting like your body rejecting it and also and also it last longer because it's not it can kind of roll the punches it's not getting you know abrasive it's not taking a beating like another implant would so it can kind of roll with the movement of your spine which is pretty amazing and they were saying in these rats that they implanted these flexible implants in the rats and it lasted for two months which is a really long time and they said there wasn't really any degradation so now they're saying human trials could start as soon as June so people could start walking again so potentially we might start seeing completely paralyzed people have the ability while that's okay pretty amazing yeah that's pretty yeah just amazing it's I'd be like we use the word amazing a lot on the show but this is actually amazing and um there's like I said there's really good details over on cnet and then also I have to say this because I was really impressed with the comment section of this article over on cnet a lot of people were kind of arguing the merits of well if you were paralyzed would you rather have an exosuit that that was able to move around like a robot exosuit those robotic exosuits that allow you to like lift more or would you rather just have the surgery and so they were going back and forth about well I guess if you have the implant taking doing something like taking a shower or washing your face would be much easier than having a robot XO okay but they're good having an exosuit would make other activities much easier as opposed to just having the ability to just walk like you'd be able to do more things so I thought this was really interesting conversation and I I was super impressed by the comments I'm not often impressed by internet comments this was an occasion where I was and I have to I had to give the internet credit for that because it was a very good conversation internet loves exosuits yeah they do love exit but they were also like it was a really interesting kind of back and forth of Ali what would you rather do this exosuit would just kind of be lumbering no matter if you're like sitting in a restaurant or less you're a crowd it's it's huge I'm sure it's cool to be able like look like lifting your groceries and things I mean you would probably need something I think that they would be very complementary to each other's due to both so basically you would use this flexible implant to just walk Go Go have a meal you know do do things that normal people do but if you want to do something more like lift something or build something then then you would use an exosuit mm-hmm so I I mean but that's just humanity humanity could just use some exosuits I think those people just want to be normal yeah yeah super I agree and so I just dismiss what's yours absolutely incredible just super super awesome um but yeah I just thought it was really fascinating and from there we will move on in the land of virtual reality story number two okay story number two is is great because this is totally that sort of like wait we're going to use VR in the future that's not just people playing video games yeah well this one they want to use it to help understand and solve crimes in the courtroom like it basically what this technology is doing what they're using these VR headsets what they want to use them for is they want a strap a VR headset on to a juror and put them at the scene of the crime love that it's great because now you know the lawyer doesn't have to explain everything in excruciating detail some jurors can't necessarily wrap their head around it because they they don't admit necessarily cook no crime one also it would be really disturbing for some people to see the the pictures from the scene of the crime like that's really upsetting to people well there's a lot of workarounds for that sort of thing such as you know they can kind of not show everything graphically yeah also we don't know who committed the crime or what so they kind of every single person that is a person in this has like no defining features there's have like a not a blob but there's human shape yeah like I'd like the sign on the bathroom I use a pen there's like a little body and that's you know yeah I got it but another thing that they're hoping that this will solve is like having to explain a bullet trajectory like where the locations of where people yeah because like drawing a picture whatever but virtual reality really putting in there letting them walk around the scene the crime I'm explaining it to them I would imagine even like we'll cross examination would also be really helpful if they put on face off thursdays this what you saw like what did you see oh I saw this here I saw this here like that's really interesting and that is a really good use calling it the forensic hollow deck it sounds really fantastic sit cuz obviously they're gonna have to jump through a lot of hoops to get this starting to use as actual act like it's tough to use things as as evidence in a in a trial so it's there are gonna be a lot of lawyers they're gonna be like well wait wait wait objection Tehran are one tiny tiny thing to defend their case it's all like it's it's gonna be really rough over over it's great sure I'm sure for whatever crime that I it that almost puts me in jail they'll be using them when the precogs come to get you for some future murder that you're gonna commit we're gonna use this and we're gonna we're gonna totally get you we're gonna get you acquitted don't don't do a precogs but this is totally a great a great conversation point yeah when you're talking about VR you could talk about games you talk about this solving crimes medical stuff we talked earlier p on an we talked in an earlier episode about how people would react you remember that one it was like way way early how people readers yeah the shooter yeah where was like you you could so they had a thing where there was a shooter and he would come into an art gallery and virtual reality and you had two choices you could either let him go to the top floor where he killed like five people or the bottom floor we killed one person and also you or something like that was like you you had a choice between like how many people he killed and like only very few people a lot of people like a couple people had the elevator like stop Midway and that was like they're there Oh yankl anybody know they kinda cheated the system of the Kobayashi Maru like it's a non winnable situation but it was really interesting him sort of a psychological experiment but things like that like I think even even there they're doing things with VR for therapy as well oh yeah the virtual reality to help people with mental health issues which i think is fantastic and maybe somebody can't go somewhere because their you know their drugs don't work and they haven't gotten that that implant yet no and then they could I was just talking talking on the radio to somebody about about how amazing it'll be for somebody to be able to just pay like six bucks and take a take a scuba diving tour maybe you're afraid of open water take a scuba diving tour of the Great Barrier Reef without having to ever get in the ocean and like that kind of stuff is I hate getting wet the best part of virtual reality for me so there we go obviously yeah the footage forensics I check out the footage it looks it looks a little weird it doesn't look like you know you're on see the set of CSI but I I like that because it's like you said it's it's it's one of those things where it can remove a juror emotionally and they could just look at it and say okay here's the scene of a crime like this is what they say happened here's the bullet trajectories whatever like gun crimes don't imagine this would be really good for but ya know I really like this this tax is pretty awesome okay so another piece of future tech which is actually here and this and is working right now at a hospital this is crazy I love the human body I think it's so cool to look at all these different you know anatomy books inside oh yeah so GE has this new revolution CT scanner and they released was actually last week they released these animated gifts and they are super impressive yeah now not only does the revolution CT scanner have the ability to capture things we are normally able to see in CT scans like organs bones muscles that it can pull vascular flow organ motion soft tissue and obviously an incredible detail so here's the thing about this scanner that makes it so cool it reduces radiation levels by eighty-two percent based on compared to traditional methods so traditional see chance like way lower radiation it uses a kind of image image stabilization technology to correct for patient movement so one of the things that people is complain about when they get CT scans are you literally have to sit like a hot dog in a tube and like you can't move yeah breathe you can't do anything and it's like an hour it's a long time and so now they're saying they're able to capture in one second your entire pelvis and abdominal area and it has this image stabilization which makes it really easy for it to read it's super clear and less radiation and a lot less radiation so you don't have to drink your new COO colas less rads for everyone yeah let's read less rads for everyone but he don't apparently this thing's been in trials for a couple years now and it was at this hospital in Florida and they liked it so much that in September of last year they bought it they were just like that we'll just keep an aryl just by who did this hospital in Florida I've been using it for trials and they liked it so much they told you you know what just yeah I'm we don't want you to take it away we'll just buy it from you like well just how much like they just asked how much but it's pretty cool and this is sort of a really good glimpse and do you know how we can move forward in terms of medical technology that surgeries and stuff like sometimes the CT scans especially with something like the heart it's very very difficult to capture because it's constantly moving so you can't stop your heart in the middle of a CT scan just to take a good look at it so this image stabilization supposedly will really help with things like that big on health tech today yeah kind of big on health tech say but I realize crime x yes scale is all about crime so and on that note we're actually I got to tell you what the hashtag of the day is before we go on break the hashtag of the day is TD holodeck and I know we've mentioned the holodeck before but here's this is a different question this is a this is a life-or-death situation so if you had to live in a simulation in a virtual reality simulation for the rest of your life to live out the rest of your days in a VR simulation what would be what would yours be I feel like it'd be the sims you just live virtual vertical I'm all I its virtual that's meta is that super boring it's kind of yeah it's kind of boring but I feel like I would like it it's kind of weird I think I was talking to Logan about this earlier i think i live in just cause you know the game just cause to know you like basically grapple this stuff you're basically flying around and shooting right it's like being spider-man okay but you blow stuff up and yeah good for your whole life you'd want to live that your whole life oh yeah I'm always want I've always wanted a crazy unrealistic grapple to shoot everywhere why walk or drive any ages I've always wanted a crazy and I learned crazy crazy futuristic grapple some sort of hover hover vehicle either board or that yeah or a jetpack those are the things that I want is that too much to ask it is so far future kind of is um but maybe an maybe after we come back from break it won't be too much to ask we'll be right back you've got to check out this video before we go right before we jump in a break this guy got this drone right for the holidays or whatever and on his first trip out it was about to crash into a lake so check this out was Mac to the show we are we've returned still I'm sorry no no hoverboards no I wonder if that guy who caught the drone like maybe had a phone in his pocket he just drove into the water like what have you ruined his cell phone he can just put notes on the drone and send them to people if he wants to talk about i'm sorry there enough oh yeah that's gonna be the new carrier pigeon you guys that's good that's terrible um so it's Tuesday and we didn't get to do it last week because we're at CES it's been it's been a while in about three weeks yeah um so it is time for new releases so january tends to be a pretty light much in terms of releases but there's okay cuz it's oscar stuff you know is movies big movies already came out there's some good stuff coming out i mean things that are interesting things you might want to see good stuff first up if you have an xbox one evolves open beta this week that is good that is pretty good um it isn't no it's an open beta so it's not the game but if you're so inclined it looks really really good they only had one level on the first the the Alpha right I think so you know if they have any more on this one uh you know what I'm not sure I'll have to I I have an xbox one so I was kind of thinking I was gonna try to get into it this weekend we're no match making that was a huge issue in the a lot of people complained about that while they were there was matchmaking but you couldn't match up with your friends right and that was around as you had to play with a bunch of like jerks such a random guy yeah so hopefully they fix that you can actually make a cool do you know how cool it looks so you so also if you're you know worried about that you can check out live streams for this now so yeah watch more of it if it's and now that it's an open beta you can actually watch on twitch like people can actually broadcast it which is pretty cool I I rock the house as any of this like you know the four people but I am horrible at the monster terrible demonic super duper bad at the mott like I'm sitting in the corner just like reading a book I'm like no I'm a Monday yeah so things like that um and then we also have a couple movies coming out this week black hat starring People's Sexiest Man Alive Chris Hemsworth comes out he's not my people's sexiest man alive well you know he's like the minivan majority really likes him maybe I'm elms they love their chrysdale of their Thor okay let's just put it that way I like Thor I mean I'm I'm into it a little bit I like it I like it better with a beard yeah he looks like he'd hug you and you crush all your bus but anyway black hat is about a sacrifice worth is yeah hacker hacker and obviously a great depiction of what normal hackers look like I mean clearly I see you guys that look like this everyday what is he trying to hack like what's the whole politic it's a very exciting Michael Mann movie it's all over the shop I'm sure there's gonna be many as we're even just seeing in the trailer lots of different locations lots of different you know nice lady there's a nice ladies way to love interest what is a but what it's I don't know what the stakes are looks like you know global cyber crime crazy i think its nukes is it nukes it's gotta be noobs it's always new all right all right and then another on the opposite end of the spectrum going analog American we need the poo oh and not what not Paddington that is coming up this weekend though American sniper is coming out this weekend on okay so here's the thing this trailer is intense yeah like I my heart was racing when I was watching it and really obviously uncomfortable subject matter for a lot of people but just the intensity of the trailer like made me extremely nervous I don't know that I'm gonna go see this in theaters Rocket Raccoon as a sniper yeah I look at the truck or I could and he turned into a human a human boy and grew up to be a sniper i've heard mixed reviews on this have you really I have heard i've heard mixed as well so i'm not sure that I'm gonna go see this in theaters but i figured i would let people know it was coming out this weekend yeah absolutely case they're really into this or they want to go see the stories based on true story if you're not interested in that why don't you catch up on some of the golden globe winners yeah where some of the Oscar thing can be nominated watch this weekend you got lots of options Logan and I are all about whiplash I'm so yeah Birdman first man to go see a man I still think that the best hotel is on HBO right now yeah grand budapest hotel beauty one best a comedy or musical motion picture that's wes wes anderson film the cookie coupe listen I love that movie so much so whimsical and adorable and the best really or the actual movie that's gonna take home Best Picture like a movie yeah the lego movie totally um so those that's what's coming out this week a lot of good stuff I mean I think pretty good stuff if you're interested you're so inclined involved looks pretty good check out the twitch oh yeah I'm in your gang if you're getting in if you don't get into the beta check out but it's an xbox

seen I gotta check that out I like I like asking these questions cuz I find out about things that I didn't know existed you know I mean kill your life you did okay we're gonna we're gonna keep going um Danny wrote to us and said too many cooks too many cooks um yeah holy it's really like that I think it counts I think I'm hard listen it laughs that's our audience for it really is um ken John and pretty much the rest of the internet responded house of cards touch with an exclamation point that was just that was it so a lot of you guys love house of cards I love pretending that I've seen house of cards if you great show amazing sizeThe ethically is from beginning to end totally a show yeah it's a it's a show Kevin Spacey's and that one part where he's he's gambling and he loses it all yeah house of cards is awesome yeah totally um and then black I've meteoroid Rosen said jontron oh yeah jontron tomorrow daily and all fail compilations of 20-40 like we fit in with failed cock I know well I think that's sort of redundant honestly like we're really on Charlie oh yeah gamer group she's not in gamer grumps anymore okay yeah yeah so I thought those are really good um I really appreciate it so many the guy said tomorrow daily it was kind of adorable oh there's it was it were my hot heart a little bit it's better you could see it on this ge CT scanner how warm my heart was it was just like well your hearts still warm I could like a campfire just rub your hands get get warm by my heart did they say any other cnet shows or only tomorrow no only to our daily deal with it um it's just it wait every other cnet show is cancelled every other scene nobody hates us they're all changed to tomorrow dailies know there's still alive going forward everyone's gonna host tomorrow daily um so
