on today's show Microsoft had a press event and we're going to tell you all about their Xbox news and a new product called hollow lens whoo meanwhile a robot is learning how to cook by only watching YouTube videos that seems dangerous and a super cool art installation in Japan is both beautiful and interactive you know what else is beautiful and interactive we are not us we definitely are tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best we talk show of the known universe I'm your host Ashley skeletron me as always kale cough anonymous yeah whoo press conference time where's the drop we're gonna get a real job press conference hype no seriously huge press conference hype it was ok first of all not only just huge press conference in like terms of length it was two and a half hours almost yeah and then there was a Q&A afterwards by the way it was also jam-packed with crazy stuff so let's not waste any more time let's hit the headlines we didn't see that one coming I that was exciting I got I wanted to just jump up and get out of confetti cannon I can't wait to watch this back and see like your face come into that funny of an air horn I'm good okay so let's get let's crack right into this thing Jan skip a lot to get to the part that excites us we are okay so here's thing Microsoft had a press conference today about Windows 10 and all the integrations that go with it we are going to skip most of the windows 10 part of that if you want to check out any of that you can go over to cnet com we've got tons and tons and tons and tons all you know of coverage about Windows 10 all you need to know is that it's going to be like free next year free for windows 7 windows 8 when is it like anything beyond 107 you get a free upgrade for a for a year they're gonna do free upgrades which is awesome Rio updated solitaire in mind sweetie whatever yeah so moving on all right so we're gonna focus on xbox and hollow lens okay so xbox will jump into very briefly I thought this was awesome finally finally finally we're seeing cross-platform gaming with Windows 10 so they had this awesome demo where they had a lady come out who was using the xbox one and she was playing fable legends and then Joe Belfiore I believe or so I'm sorry Phil good old Phil was playing uh he was playing i love this basic about battletoads shirt is awesome um he was wearing a battle toad shirt you guys and it was really exciting uh so he was playing as well on PC on Windows 10 and then they were co-opted playing together this is bad for him nice firm cooperative play really awesome and then other big news about Xbox is you're going to be able to stream your xbox one games to any Windows 10 tablet or PC in your house even if it's an xbox one exclusive game so it doesn't have to be available on Windows specifically you can stream it just like you it so kind of a play at steam box I think yeah but they also had you could access your steam catalog on Windows 10 like they had a whole thing with Cortana don't show me this show me this like any Xbox app they have like a bunch of different stuff is really cool that's great finally I'm linking everything together I'm finally getting some connectivity between all of their devices and I think this is at why people for Apple so as well have even ochoco Android there's so much connectivity between everything that you have going on it just for me it seems like this is what Windows users and PC users have been kind of waiting for saying well I don't want to upgrade because why like why would I do this so I like that they're giving gamers especially xbox gamers in particular the opportunity to sort of have this cross-platform co-op is really cool it's super good yeah um okay so now let's get into the meat of it which is hollow lens this is our this is what we're excited to move or are we excited about it I don't know that's very confused this video is crazy okay so this is Microsoft's official promo video of hololens and they it's this pair of goggles it has transparent glass on the front so it allows for an augmented reality experience you with Jem and the Holograms playing right in front of you know anything but of stuff a whole bunch of stuff so how does this work there's obviously something built into it so that it can sense the world around you very much so so the guy who kind of is leading this project is alex kipman who is the father of kinect oh okay so this guy presented the demos it was very cool this is a real world pop of experience they're going to have and there are transparent lenses spatial sound motion sensors a cpu a GPU and an HP you a holographic processor in it which it understands gestures voice position and mapping out objects based on where they are like spatial location and Microsoft is saying that this is going to be a thing that people are going to be able to use they had a whole bunch of different uses for this like there's minecraft they had repairing things medical community yeah one opponent actually focus on that scene right there Netflix did you notice the dog was hall it was a holograph ok thanks for ruining all the things I was gonna send I said you literally said I said i want to sale here so basically what was what was interesting about that to me is that he didn't even need a screen no he now could just project his own screen he had a holographic dog which means you can create companion i finally get a lot of my general showing the office you can do designs you can play games you can you know create and craft if your artistic yeah I here's my question killin I am very oh yeah you're you're skeptical on this I i yes a little bits okay I think this is a cool technology but is this the same as connect so is this gonna be the same thing where we saw a bunch of amazing demos with Kinect and we've seen what it can do and we've seen some amazing things come out of connect from like universities and robotics people and they're using Kinect to do these incredible gesture things they did the cool stuff not that we're not doing those things like where it's like oh it's now not even mandatory with your xbox one like me it's we've sort of kind of pushed that to the side like I feel like this might be the thing that is mandatory bundled in with the next Xbox and then everyone throws a fit and they're like oh yeah okay no no we'll just scuttle that too it's gonna be like connect i think i think if they incorporate that screen I think the screen is gonna make make all the difference it's got I gonna sit in my room like before bed and not have to buy a brand new TV and I just put that sucker on and instead of looking at my tablet i'm looking at a giant screen let i can change the size of like that's gonna be the make-or-break i mean there's a lot of little like play games and stuff like yeah that's like another gonna be goof around your Wally moment we're gonna have a screen right in front of your face and you're in here yeah making a cup I like I like it yeah yeah I don't I don't want to do anything anymore but let stop saying is like if you can browse all that stuff just by doing this I mean there might be a place for this very very very soon they're showing us all the possibility theory the possibilities are incredibly it's a beautiful video Mike I saw a lot of this wish Lee is say exactly it's a lot of potential I just don't want to get overexcited and then really disappointed when it comes out is not we have broken with the we as well when we saw the motion controls and our great siglo de ended and we saw all the possibilities of a lightsaber game and went fishing and then nobody made any games nobody made no games so it's gonna depend on developers to make this a thing like it has to be supported to the point where it can be a ubiquitous object an everyday thing that you're using all the time otherwise forget it I definitely think that a lot of different apps are going to try and pick this up and and run with it interesting whether it be like what does it look like amazon they are out but that's no who cares about google very it's it was a it's like a user interface like a HUD as yeah it was like a little interactive augmented reality situation it is different i get that but i just i always wonder how invested developers are gonna get into something like this because it's not proven yet yes yet i'm excited i'm stoked i I'm definitely I'm like I'm like this whoo I'm cautiously optimistic yeah cautiously optimistic is absolutely right and see I'm thinking small I'm thinking what people are gonna use it for immediately and what could be the gas funny right out of the gate what do you mentioned that that's our that's our hashtag of the day is TD hololens what are you gonna use hollow lens for what's what is it what's the what's the game changer what's the thing that it okay really good so the game changer is obviously gonna be uh what you how it moves how everything moves forward right what's what are you telling you the thing that's gonna get people to use this thing is being able to watch the screen okay like imagine yeah you imagine if I'm not necessarily like in front of everything the glass wanted to be so I'm in the kitchen or whatever cooking cookies whatever and I have the like the you know the right right right there or whatever or are you're on a plane where I'm playing video games forum on a plane or in plenty video games everything that the oculus wanted to be without being completely obstructive to your view right games like I can even still play games there won't be 3d but I can play them on a surface and I can I can play and I has the built-in cpu which is a godsend yeah totally oculus does not add anything you don't havoc they don't need any other hardware to use hololens so they're locking a lot of the problems down yeah hypothetically hypothetically so the again I think the thing that would get people going is the screens as boring as that sound but that's the thing people I everybody wants I really realize that all right tell me about this robot know you don't want to feel okay okay talking about this forever I'm cake I've been talking about this next article forever and this is not a joke we finally video forever and we're waiting for video this is a robot that is learning how to cook by watching YouTube videos it's watching tons and tons of YouTube videos and learning how to cook now basically what this computer at the university of maryland institute for advanced computers studios I guess studies I don't know I think I'm element they are there they were showing this this robot many YouTube videos so that it can learn a variety of movements that would challenge the robot that's why they chose cooking is because there's so many movements whether it be moving sorry interlace a knife pouring water there's a lot of movement so the way this works is it here are the steps to get it to actually do it it uses computer vision okay to recognize it uses recognition recognition system to recognize what's going on then an a a process to analyze all of that information ok then a language parsing translator to hear what is smoking on the YouTube video and then of course it does all of it says okay I get all those things and then here's the action I need to do here we go I got it I am pouring the baking soda baking soda i got baking soda so their goal here oh yeah what's up yeah what's the endgame I always love to know what the goal is there's a very middle of the article the goal is to get it to work with humans to be able to interact and as they said to be able to like help out in the kitchen with like recognizing seems like a really big movement robot would fit in my kitchen wall future we'll get you a wali or saint-meran I got there so it's been pretty accurate actually I've got some stats for here for you okay hit me with ninety-three percent on object recognition so rolling pin I got it you know and the 93% recall okay so brother members remember that's a natural thing remembers it also it's not and don't forget to write this because it's not programming it to know that specifically it's it's teaching it to learn that it is it there's a big difference yes uh so a grasping recognition module precision seventy-seven percent oh ok that's I'm gonna get rude rude at a recall of seventy-six percent so it's pretty close to it so there's a twenty four percent chance my pancakes would be ruined yeah so so obviously there's some other things obviously it's not there not just like while the limitations are cooking they wanted to do like hazardous work and any number of things that humans don't necessarily want to do yeah but cleaning up like nuclear waste the reason again and I guess I may not have covered this you know right but the reason they're doing it through youtube videos instead of having it done through just typing in because they don't want to have to like type in right you don't I just learn you know they want to learn through humans and see how it's done in a very fluid way yeah and let it learn itself more or less so that's what they're hoping to do and now you know you accept its recipe will be humans yes recipe will be BBQ yeah so I've been really excited about that I know and I finally saw the video for it and I was like all kills gonna be so happy cuz you can finally cover this story alright so there you go so very last thing this is a digital installation that is in Japan which of course means it's a little weird but it's also a really really gorgeous and I like I have a flower shirt on I feel like I'm I feel like I'm dressed for the occasion for this video so this comes from a collective called team lab which is a bunch of architects programmer cg animators other artistic people who love technology so this there's mirrors in here so it's not it doesn't just keep going as far as you can see Wow but the installation is called flowers and people cannot be controlled but live but live together for eternity and so as people watchin I'm sure I'm sure it is as people walk through this installation obviously the whole floor is a digital project it's either a projection or and they walk through and the floors react to visitor movement and so the whole point of this is like the life and death cycle flowers like an other flora so if someone walks on the flowers they kind of wither away and die so you can see they were kind of like floating away there and and then as they walk away they'll bloom again so it's it's slow like though they're showing it off a little bit slower but it really is stunning and apparently they said it's all about growth and decay and they have this whole like creating the translation was a little bit weird because the way they described it sounded like why they built this was really the the words did not make sense together so I think somebody had like kind of a weird translation translation it's on display right now at the National Museum of emerging science and innovation in Tokyo through march first so if you have a plane ticket if you're going to be headed out that way and before the first of march you should definitely check this out but yeah it's got a bunch of mirrors and then even there are these uh they're these columns that the that the visitors can walk up to and they actually have the same sort of flower like projections and stuff on there too so they can see themselves in these mirrors other words like the projection in there and so it's really cool um and I just say you know again I we sometimes I find these design things that are really fascinating to me and super interesting but um yeah just something really pretty really pretty and something really interesting and something that I would go see if I ever went to Japan which I problem I'm I never will do you know that would be people will be really upset if you did that in Japan maybe like it system I think everybody here everybody gets upset with that all the time how much really like when I hit that it like there's a pain in my all right let's have a party break let's hit the air horn and party break we'll be back in about 30 seconds or so we have a new wit new segment my party for that hit the air horns on new segment okay we're gonna be back for the new segments don't look away tomorrow daily Oh there we go we got one welcome back to the show uh we have a new segment this week love your segments I do too we don't have a graphic for it yet ah hopefully we will very very soon I'll put in the request oh well the audio people don't care yeah listen to the audio five because my god you want to make a little music sound for them so this is Mod Squad ok do coupe duty to 10 ok perfect I'm gonna make sure they actually incorporate that into the grass so I didn't say anything while you're doing it alright so Mod Squad we see a lot of different cool modifications of things online and also cool custom builds of stuff so I I'm always fascinated by this and I feel like it really deserves its own segment just because sometimes I'm not newsworthy it's not like a oh wow like you know this fish this Mario fish tank like it's not newsworthy in that way but it's also really cool and I feel like people reserve we had the power glove if you didn't see that episode get on it but there was a guy that had a power glory we made it so that he could do his stop motion animation with the power glove and that was the odd were they not Mod Squad totally mod totally feature worthy and we thought that you know we would kind of have a segment where if we wanted to call somebody out maybe if something wasn't you know making the news for any particular reason but we just happen to see it we could we could feature them so this I saw and thought was so cool this is called the model g one which family Cade is another name for it that I've heard bandied about this is by a guy named Dave Nunez he's the creator of this little cabinet it's a little device called the model g one that's an adjustable 7-inch TFT screen it has built-in speaker it has obviously you can see the joystick in arcade buttons he said it's Bauhaus design inspired so he's very very cool like not not hideous looking at all it's not it looks super stylish and you can actually in the back of that device stick your old NES cartridges into it and play old NES games oh wow yeah so he made this really awesome thing into kind of a little NES arcade cabinet which is pretty awesome yeah that's pretty cool it's not obnoxious like a lot of the like yeah it's not like a knockoff any up like I just really like this because it's super modern and clean but it's also you know it's got that retro feel to it it's really neat and so here's that there is one catch though so the one catches based on its architecture its the internals of this it can't play 23 out of like the 800 plus games that nintendo released for the idea those are the only ones i wanted to play of course well here are some of them um the more notable ones that I caught in the list where Battletoads Castlevania 3 gauntlet paperboy pipe dream and incredible crash dummies paperboy well the NES version you were playing it on gameboy anyway k let's all be honest oh don't you can admit it it was a gameboy that's pretty cool though yeah super awesome so it's on his etsy store he's making them you can you my running multiple ones okay I'm on it see you could actually buy this and the retail price is 199 on for the NES model and if you want an Atari 2600 version which he also makes it is 249 and you can use old Atari cartridges in there and I think the Atari one comes pre-loaded with a party open source Atari games if anyone wants to buy me one for Valentine's Day Valentine's Day is coming a que labelled entails nice lady I just need anybody Oh anybody wants yeah okay well that's that's awkward delete Lee said I really should delete not only thing it right now everybody hates you now everyone's like kill you are the worst speaking of people thinking kills the worst it's time for user feedback no my favorite transition that was it that might be my favorite transition of all time so yesterday we asked you guys use the feet of the hashtag TD aware and tell us
