on today's show a teenager gains the ability to play guitar with a very special prosthetic virtual reality takes on real life in a competition of skiing who's gonna win I'll let you know all right and and judging this particular book by it's cover means it will get upset and lock you out of reading it so you should never judge a book by it's cover sera daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley skele Jeremy's always kill anonymous whoo sorry really what are you coffee days this coffee date yesterday's energy drink day good yep Kelly's it's chock full o'Nuts kills blood stream is actually just caffeine I didn't sleep last night as somehow again not surprised I like when this shows high energy so I'm hoping I'm hoping this you don't sleep this brings you pleasure rather than pay yeah okay by the end of the show you're not just like cringing and agony yeah um we have a lot to talk about today some really good stuff in VR that book is totally weird so let's not waste any more time let's hit the headlines so this morning I really wanted a feel-good story like right out of the gate I was like I'm in the mood for some feel good I need to get hit in the fields in a good way and I did by finding this story about a Colombian kid named Diego corridor and he was actually a born without a right hand so just know right hand but the cool thing is is that he wants to learn to play guitar and this group named 3d gluc worked with him to build a custom prosthetic it didn't he say he was like it doesn't have to look like a hand it doesn't have to be like very soon all I want to do is play guitar so it's a super simple hand with a shield for the forearm and you can see they itched in lincoln park because that's one of his favorite bands and then there's a pair of pincers that hold a pic and he's actually really good wow yeah like it we I think you can hear play free bird free bird so it's pretty yet so which is this like a 3d printed hanger yeah so um that this is actually the part that makes me feel the best I mean I'm really excited for this kid it's crazy it says Linkin Park oh he's like super good at like doing Linkin Park's gonna sue him right um so uh there are nonprofits out there and I I had sort of like peripheral II known about this but like I didn't dig into it as much as I did today because I was so fascinated by the story there's much of nonprofits out there including like this group that are dedicated to providing super simple prosthetics to people for that costs around or under fifty dollars so this is one of those prosthetics it costs less than it costs about fifty bucks to make oh it is pretty odd that's that's almost nothing yeah it's like I mean it's all things consider is very inexpensive to be able to get this kid his dream of playing the guitar and he's actually really good like he's really good so um I just think this is such a cool like feel-good story and it's really amazing how just a couple years ago before these sort of this like explosion of 3d printing this would have been completely out of the question you have to go to go to a doctor you're gonna fitted for it it's like very specific process where they measure you and they have to make this custom mold and all this other stuff and now it's like okay well let's just get your measurements and then scan you like with a camera and then we just have as the 3d printer printed out and it fits your arm and you can play guitar that's just really really is uplifting maybe I feel so good feel so good it was like it was a warm fuzzy for for the day to start out with that's right old that they're allowing him to enjoy his one of his favorite art forms yeah very cool hello yeah great good great pic nice job thank you I hope everybody feels really good about about science and life in general after that story because I know I did nice so tell me about VR cuz this sounds okay so this is a crazy be our story coming out of the wearable technology conference and this is made by 3d live because they are showing off a this this whole competitive sport of skiing yeah where two people are skiing in VR live and one of them is actually out there skiing and they're competing against each other in both a virtual and real space so what is happening here is we have two people in a virtual reality simulation and one guy actually out there skiing but they're all competitively skiing against each other what's even crazier is that they're in three different countries Oh at the same time ones in Munich ones in Greece and once in Austria and the guy in Austria is actually skiing and that's the video in the bottom right right yes oh it's for you the tech in a second okay the real guy skiing is Vegard angin or he likes to be called dr. V so here's the tech here's how it's how it's working all right okay and then I'll tell you who won okay all right so the people that are back at home skiing looking ridiculous insane are using their emotions are being read by a kinect and they're using a playstation wakeboard and then using an oculus rift to see the mountain and and you know see what's going on all right so that's what each of the the people that are at home are doing dr. V on the other hand who's actually out there skiing is wearing this sort of like a our headset to kind of show him where the virtual reality people are and also kind of recording what he's seeing right now so so that's all of the tech that's all of what's going on but very impressive uh yeah they were showing this alive so that's crazy so so here's here's the results all right yes I wish many more head-to-head match okay okay the first one dr. V destroyed the outcome oak dumb but then it looks like the VR people kind of figured out what's going on and so they ended up winning the rest of the three rounds that's his own virtual reality wins but come on dr. V pointed out that uh when he's going down the hill there's actually some people for the hill so he needs to be careful and also he has to worry about death yes and actual like you know kids being on so yeah there you go um okay so what is the goal is illegal the goal is to have people indoors and outdoors both participating in real activity even if someone can actually make it there she loved it so I mean I guess let's mix it's reality they think that people lead but like I guess if you know my grandma can't like make it to the the ski so i can still dominate her no think about it so like how cool would it be if you entered a contest to race against a crop country an Olympic skier and for your country and then you could go and like do this like sponsored by whatever company and then you would go and they would have the room set up where you could ski even if you didn't know how to ski totally do it you can race against like your idol you can play golf against tiger woods or you could like do all kinds of stuff yeah that was 300 swing scale I think it's time for us to move to them yeah I think it's I think we're gonna have to just no more mulligan thank you sorry normal again that's that's pretty cool again it's really cool to see VR and a are both kind of meet each other in the middle and see what we can do with that ya know there's always seems to be a focus on one or the other and all those also live yeah don't forget that this guy was live and see for my different countries I can't believe that's the future is like that sort of thing can you imagine a cross-platform hololens like the skier with hololens like watching people and then also seeing like his actual view and then having the people to oculus rift and it's good it's gonna get crazy everybody it's gonna get crazy it already is crazy it already is crazy which it's gonna that means it's gonna be so good when it's actually consumer ready so that brings us to our hashtag of the day which is TD vs vs vs I like I like vs yes that's good um and that we want you to say what activity would you compete in if there was a real life versus virtual reality Olympics and would you be doing it in real life or would you be doing it via VR headset okay you go first ok I think for me I would be I would love to do virgin this is gonna sound insane but I feel like I was really good at operation frog when I was a kid do you remember that game it was a science game anyway i'm a nerd ok operation frog no I me not being nice fun frog he dissected a frog like in the game so you learned about Lee biology oh um I feel like I would want to do like a surgery game like with actual surgeons like as an Olympic sport so wait somebody's getting cut up so you can have fun no I wouldn't it could be like a cadaver you just like donate your body to the Olympics that's all I'm saying kill just like I told you it was weird I told you a super weak that's great well I would be saying we'd be like rounding up people and being like hey I've been randomly selected to get to get chopped up today and I'm going to be chopping up anybody I'm not a professional you give me a virtual body that's the whole point okay how do I just spin the bottle he's kind of competitive yeah there's a gold medalist and spin the bottle it's cale anonymous guys somebody make a gif of that face cuz that was brilliant that's me kissing that's how I kiss well alright so cool i'm sure that's not a gold medal fake kissy face i'm sorry but yeah so that's the that's the hashtag TD vs TV vs. um very cool alright I gotta tell you about this book cuz I saw this and I was like what and then I looked at the video and laughed so much because it's the crits insane so you've all heard the old adage never judge a book by it's cover like hey you did an old woman voice you have to um because it's usually something your mom says um not your mom specifically my mom says like this electively all of our mantra uh this is an experimental project by an Amsterdam creative agency called more and this project is called the cover that judges you so this is that's an actual book cover that's not a art and that's a screen inside the cover if you're listening at home there's a book with a C on it and then a face and it's like this crazy little face and the guy right now is making faces and he came at it with a smiley face and it wouldn't open and now notice his face scanned green and NC he smiled again and it locked it relocked itself so the whole point of this is that it's a this is the technology in this book is insane it's a real book you can open it and look through it it's got like a whole bunch of an I'll explain what's in the book in a second but there's a screen inside the cover the book the screen is in the shape of a human face and there's face tracking at the top of the actual book itself um and when you walk up to it it scans your face it does face tracking and if you come at the book like come at me book um if you come at the book with any kind of prejudgment so if you're really happy or if you're like not thrilled about it or if you're just you know you're crying I don't know why you'd be crying at this book but for whatever reason if you come at this book and you've already pre judge the contents of it and the book can scam that in your facial expressions it will continue to stay locked and will not let you in says it judges you judging your cover what's inside your thing what's inside the book okay so what's inside is it's a collective of creative work that has already been judged and and won awards so the whole point of this is that will this is work that doesn't need to be judged again by you because it's already been judged so it's in this boat code and you should come at it non-judgmentally and that's how you can get in a look oh okay which is--what's-- your the book again creative works creative work so probably photography that's you know maybe some point on what the fact that it's kind of like Thank You script and it's very long it's really in there yet you kind of want to smile for that book hello see him that I won't let you in you better just come straight at it without any judge with us you're smiling at it which means you've already judged that you like it see I can't even be happy that I'm about to read a book you've prejudged you prejudge you can't do that all right go come at it with straight face and then it'll unlock and then he could smile all you want actually don't smile in flight the cover because then it'll relock itself you just open and then you could smell that's good but that's what it is in the books for sale or just that one book I don't think they're gonna be selling it but it's a it's a prized an experimental project the Amsterdam agency is called more m.o.r.e so I'm sure if you looked up on Google if you google the cover that judges you you can see the video which is like the funniest thing it's so bizarre like the face on there and it's like scans the guy it's so weird but I love it a page mastered you remember that yeah totally Macaulay Culkin it up Christopher Lloyd will do this that's tag Macaulay Culkin it up pagemaster guy love that movie yeah Christopher Lloyd is the pagemaster right uh yes he's the voice for ducky I forgot the other voices but there was also some other that's a great movie I liked books a lot as a kid so I was like that was my jam the Pagemaster cool story that's pretty awesome anyway we're going to go watch the pagemaster and we'll be right back after a short break we have an awesome mod squad this week and of course your user feedback and our photog refer today so don't clog late tomorrow daily welcome back to the show oh man that pagemaster is great so good I don't get it so there's another so once you go into the dream there's another level and then you go into another dream level and then there's another one and then there's the bottom one that's the prequel it's at the pagemaster a little known fact prequel to inception actually what's direct prequel I don't know what inception I'm yeah Cobb is Macaulay Culkin as an adult just FYI that's that's what we want to know that he grows up oh okay uh well you guys it's uh it's Wednesday which means it's time for another round of Mod Squad which again working on a graphic but I promise we'll get you one um I saw this this morning and and may have squealed like like I made an audible noise that was unlike me because it was so delightful so check this out here we have video of this this comes from a French RC enthusiast who calls himself Olivier and it is a millennium falcon drone is a drone made to look like the Millennium fella don't get cocky kid self-build drone but even knew this was inevitable come on I mean as I said all right this is awesome but the thing I like the most about these super-bright LEDs on the back and on the front like SuperDuper brights if you're just listening to this year boom you are missing out so much right now so um he said he didn't spend a whole lot to build the Millennium Falcon sort of like skin or the the little casing that the drone is held in so really the cost was in the drone itself and then he said that this particular drone which is pretty cool goes about 60 kilometers an hour without that casing but with it on it it's about half it's about 30 kilometers now yes it was pretty heavy so it doesn't go light speed is what you're telling me unfortunately with the casing it cannot do the Kessel run in under 12 parsecs I'm sorry there are actually instructions he has instructions on building her own which is pretty cool of him I think it's pretty awesome that he's willing to share all of his all of his build secrets but you can go over to RC groups com which is where he originally posted it I saw it over on reddit so I and I saw I was just like this is amazing that's pretty fantastic I want to see somebody make like the the the x-wings he's doing dream it already working on a TIE fighter he had a sketchup of a TIE fighter with the drone like to eat rotors and it's all look amazing I'm so excited about that too okay now I want to see them fight I know I want to I want to see the Death Star listen Olivier if you're watching figure out a way to make them shoot like nerf projectiles at each other and just see if you could have them fight cuz that would be really cool I would really like that awesome I would enjoy that but yeah Riley finally a drone that if I saw flying there wouldn't be annoyed Bob or scared by yeah I'm so excited you like hey I'll just be screaming I love you it's all good see Chewie oh yeah wearing my I'm wearing my he's gonna drop the phaser he's gonna drop the bass well sure well that's convenient how super convenient um yeah so nice work Olivier I'm really really awesome and high fives to you all the way from the US of A okay guys it's time for
