on today's show students in Singapore show off a solar-powered car that was built with the help of 3d printing to gamers take their skills in video games to real life and are actually incredible and win and I'll tell you more okay okay and there's a robot so dexterous it can make balloon animals which means all those clowns are gonna be really sad once robots take their jobs to tomorrow daily three days citizens in the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show in the universe I'm your host Ashley skele join these always the fifth member of the temptations kill anonymous do up do like you're like I don't know what the whole I can thing going like it was really only remember that the taste ations which were are you really taste station candy that are from like the 90s which probably point zero zero zero one percent of people watching even know about which is that your mom hashtag bring back a station sorry for ruining the intro to the show you know we have a lot of good salaries today we do have a lot of good stories today I so let's not waste any more time one side headlines his first story is about the taste Asia futuristic space it's a Monday all right get started let's bring them back let's do actually alright so this story comes from some engineering students in singapore at Nanyang Technological University and they made this car for a competition but there's something really special about it which is that the shell of the car there's there's two of them and I'll explain what they are so they're made with 3d printing the shell Oh car is 3d printed along with over 150 parts inside this car so okay the the first one that you're seeing the bigger one is an urban solar electric car it's the first one that's been made in Singapore and they're calling it the NV 8 for short again like I said 3d printed body over 150 3d printed parts there's a carbon fiber chassis there are handmade silicon solar cells that have been molded to the car shape and curves so it's like really aerodynamic and also it fits the the actual shape of the car so it's not like just like a big panel like sitting on the top of the car looking ridiculous it was designed by scratch it took over a year to build and it will race in shells eco-marathon asia this year as an urban concept entry and the goal of this the goal of this race is to build these cars that have piqued fuel efficiency like no matter what type of fuel you're using so they have you can compete in in you could have vehicles in one of seven different types of entries so you can have our energies you can use hydrogen electric gas diesel ethanol natural gas and shale gas to liquids which I'm not super familiar with but apparently that's a way to power a car and then so like I said it's also about it's about maximizing fuel efficiency and using futuristic designs to sort of achieve those ends but they also built in the picture you can see a smaller car and this is the envy 9 which is a separate category in the prototype category so there's two different there's like an urban concept and then there's like this prototype category this is a three-wheeled car that looks like a little cockpit that you can race in and that was also built by the same team and they're hoping that that also does very well so really cool stuff that they're doing over at this university I just think it's awesome that people are building I you know these prototype vehicles with 3d printers like I just I love the idea that 3d printing is being used to build pretty much everything at this point except like is it because it seems like most of the three minor stuff is oh really so it's so light because it's plastic and so the thing is is like it's supported by that carbon fiber chassis so it's it's built like a car but the shell of the car the body of the car is 3d printed so it's really like it's really impressive that they've been able sorry and I would've oh yeah there's the inside right there and I would imagine that the the lightweight feature of that 3d printed plastic enables it to go farther without using as much fuel or energy so hence making solar made a little bit more of a viable option so I thought this was really awesome it's very cool lots of crazy tech going on there it was great so I fully they win yeah I'm really curious to see how everything goes so we'll see what place they come in so speaking of racing go get him ok speaking races this is the story of two gamers that were so good at gran turismo that they were chosen to be in an actual race I comply creationist and one but ok so the journey the journey is actually exciting ok so here we go so to gamers a wolfgang reap and florian Strauss we're in the top of the leaderboards in 2011 and 2012 respectively in the game Gran Turismo now they have this uh Sony and Nissan have this thing called the Gran Turismo the Gran Turismo Academy where they take the top people that play gran turismo and they take them to a camp they teach them how to race and then if they're really good they put them in actual competitions that is crazy this is an actual thing that happens that is that vein I love that show these these two gamers were again from 2011-2012 respectively entered the but thurs 12 hour race and won with their teammate cat soon kazumasa chio so they won they actually came out first on upbeat actual people that are well I think racetrack I think there are actual people who are also race drivers but the fact that they came out of Gran Turismo is the craziest thing I've ever heard yes so if you if you want to enter if you want to like and try to enter this you basically you know obviously have to be a top racer on the alienator better say if you do come out on top you get a 1 million dollar contract from Nissan to race across the world I was part of the team team Nissan if you're interested in what kind of car they drove the rjn motorsport nissan gt-r 35 currently right now one of their main drivers came Nissan's main drivers came from the Gran Turismo leaderboards his name is John mardenborough he's 22 years old so and he's he's entering the 24 hour of lemans this June and he's like they're like this guy's going to win what's exciting about this to me is the fact that it's so like it's legitimate or legitimately good because remember this all has extremely realist and they all have like steering wheels and so they're actually like simulating the drive I want to read can I read a couple of quotes from you like this is this is after they were fascinating to me please after they won this is a quote from Wolfgang other racers laughed at us GT Academy drivers but even they use simulators like us to train so that's true and then now this is from Jan from Jan they get the 22 year old who's killing it is about to race this June good luck if you had no experience at all driving anything in real life and you had a pedal set up in a rigged and had gran turismo 6 you could jump from that into a real car and drive and very near the limit or on the limit so it is like it is crazy that these gamers alike if you're like I'm so good yeah you might be good actually thanks I'm oh so yeah there you go it's it's a it's a real simulator I guess that's amazing uh that brings us to our hashtag the day which I thought would be fun TD Drive which is what video game could you go pro at in real life and no pong for crying out loud geez we're done with pong guys yeah that's good just no more blocking your life I don't know ping pong oh yeah Larry um so what would you be good at what's the what's your what's the thing that you could go pro at in real life I I would I guess I'd have to pick a goat simulator goat simulator just like you know being a goat totally crumbling crying stuff with my being a microwave simulators I'm pretty good madeleine stowe medalist what about you I'd be really good at that cat swiping gamer you just go and knock things off shelves like that give me the gold medal in that I just like rage out and just like knock things off shelves and just keep going that's what I would do not a single one of us answered seriously but only they will so it's TV right you don't I mean do fine it's TT race TD dry TD Drive can you drive me drive tell us tell us please because I'd like it thinks something you're gonna come up with some really good serious answers like duck hunt or you know whatever or you know like deer hunter it's just like I go in whoa George there's a little girl but like or like bowling we bowling or something but I'd like some of you are gonna come up with crazy answers and I am gonna take it too far I can i encourage that I encourage you to cross the line it was gonna like Mortal Kombat crap of sorrow i repel ppl spines and simulator yay alright alright um so this last story is about a robot that is extremely dexterous I thought this was so funny when I saw the video on friday i was like we have to have this in the show we have to talk about it this comes from the robotics company Reese queered and here's the robot it's called the highly dexterous manipulation system HD ms so that's what they this is short get out of here so here it is using a zip tie it has two arms in a robotic torso that can rotate it's designed for mobile system so like you would put it on something that would be able to you know go somewhere and it uses re square it's imitative controller tech which I'll explain in a second but the cool thing about this particular robot is that it can handle some really delicate work like making balloon animals for example and any of that yeah we do it so here it is it's it's making a fish which is pretty basic like I get that I don't understand game robot but here's the thing it's not popping a balloon which is really impressive and it inflates the balloon as well like in the beginning oh really yeah and so there it is it's got it and it can do other things too like check out suspicious packages and handle flammable material and it can it's using a box cutter like first of all I don't want robots using box cutters that makes me very nervous oh this is crazy so here's okay so you're probably wondering how it's controlled and this is the thing that I thought was really cool is that idea by itself well no it's a person inside there like proprietary control system called imitative control and so here he is with the thing and he's actually using the robot arms to do all the different things and I just thought this was so awesome that Reese word is doing this obviously you can see in the video it sped up to time so it's he's moving very slowly in real life but I just thought this was awesome that's like okay so maybe instead of like autonomous robots like let's focus on something that a human can control and do things that are extremely delicate so they were showing like bomb defusal like oh you this could defuse a bomb or it could check out a suspicious package they did a thing where it had like a duffel bag it unzip the duffel bag and pulled out clothes and was like okay it's all clear like it's all good so I just thought that was really awesome pressure work though like because you sent wasn't popping the balloon is he responsible for not pushing it to believe so yeah I think it's like he's he's in control of how tightly the robot grips anything so in its I mean if you kind of have to guess a little bit and I believe that he said something along like i think they popped like nine different balloons with a brush i was gonna say he's responsible for being bad at making balloon animals not the robot yes exactly but um but yeah so not quite replacing all the clam at kids birthday parties I don't know if people even still do that but but definitely definitely pretty cool and I really just like this idea of again like I think the big forefront of robotics is going to end up being sending robots into situations where you don't want to send a person so it's you know like this would be a rescue is what they always say bomb defusal rescue like all that stuff so I really thought that was so cool and I i actually have never I'd never seen a system quite like that imitative control so I thought that was really neat you guys it was incredibly responsive yeah it was it was it was unreal and now like it's much cooler this he can cut a little paper snowflake look at that mean this robots using a pair of scissors like very dexterous incredibly dexterous which I just thought was so impressed he also looks a little nervous to his cane yeah i know i know it's imperfect he's on cam right I know he's super scared like oh one of my mom robots watching yeah it's like what if my girlfriend doesn't like this papers no Blake my robot girlfriend doesn't like this paper snowflake valentine's Day is coming up oh oh okay there's another thing is that it says it's sped up two times too right yeah so a lot of them out you'll see like 2x or 3x like I think one of them even might have been for X but it's like it takes time for the robot to actually do all these things but it can it can even cut very cool I like this guy yeah so that's it for our stories we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back with a round of back of her hackett we also have your user feedback from last week which are kind of amazing and then also our photogra for the day so don't click way it's tomorrow daily also check out kale welcome back to the show we have returned I'm assuming you're controlling the robot that is running the tricaster in the other room cuz / dude pretty good worked so hard to this ready gave him the day off go to Ashley's camera now very good come back at a bag back okay okay there we go we're good excellent all right guys every week we like to take a look at a crowdfunded or crowdfunding project and tell you if we would like it or not so this is Becker Hackett I found this very fascinating and I'm I am very curious to see if you'd be interested in this because this seems like one of those things would be like a gimmick I don't want it or you'd be like wow this is amazing I gotta have it so this is called neo and these are headphones I know that headphones are sort of thing that is a little bit of a saturated market I get that but these in particular I thought were very interesting because so you when you listen a sound in general you tend to either hear it in mono or stereo or even surround sound but when you move your head the sound stays relative to your to your head position it stays in the same spot so let's say you hear something behind you let's say you turned all the way around the sound would still sound like it was coming from behind you am i right yes like always behind you okay these headphones if you turn your head let's say you hear a sound behind you if you turn your head around it changes the audio to sound like it's in front of you okay so it's like spatially aware of your head right okay okay it hasn't really been done a whole lot before um it would be like if if you imagined a whole bunch of speakers like around you for 5.1 sound so if you regularly moved your head you would still it kind of does this right so the sound always is in the same position based on where your head is all right so but this I get the cons this pair of headphones moves with you again if you turn around then the sound you just looked at is now in the front of your headphones as opposed to the back which is pretty interesting so they called it psychosis basically it's basically like virtual three-dimensional sound where it's awesome they call it they do call it three days out you're in the sound space okay so um they they're looking to change the way that we kind of listen to stuff but there are some caveats here so really interesting pair of headphones I'm I'm interested however only works via an app right now because the app has to parse algorithms to change that's found in your movies and stuff to that previous starter let's give them a break all right okay so only iOS no Android availability right now also no computer availability so not uh nope no pc or gaming or virtual reality availability they say they are it is in development and depending on how much money they make in the Kickstarter will kind of oh they need the gaming angle real bad yeah one hundred percent I and the computer angle let's be here sorry um so you can use the headphones without the app and you just get regular sound so it's like you can use the headphones at act like regular pair focuses our rate and let if you don't have the app available so let's see you have an android phone up to 30 sound sources can be virtualized so if you have like 30 different sound sources it can like use the algorithm to change all of them at the same time as you can read I'm thinking um okay so here's here's the price are you ready for the price no place sounds stupid expensive it sounds like three hundred fifty dollars it's no more expensive than an expensive pair of head a headset a game it so what is it though right now there's a few left that I saw at the 209 dollar earlybird level but the regular original like Kickstarter price is 249 which is about a parent like Astro headset like mastro's gaming headset so it's not terribly unreasonable but it's definitely out of the price range of a lot of folks so and they do say that they will deliver by june of this year which i think is incredibly fast kickstarter very ambitious and i am a little skeptical of that but they say they can do it so i don't know is it are you in you gonna buy something they didn't mention they didn't really talk about movies that's the place read once because like it is Jurassic Park and I want to like and I hear the Velociraptor in the back be able to turn around so that's right they're saying that you will be able to open a movie through your your iPhone like so they and they have like different places that you can access like Dropbox Box itunes like anything you can access via your iphone or ipad on I excuse me on iOS you're going to be able to use the app through so anything like movies TV shows whatever on your phone that you can access you should be able to use the headphones okay so do you would you do it yeah all right I'm say you're in oh man dig it yeah I mean there's I think it would be best for concerts like any of the concert music like that Dale Adia buddies which I don't know why you would turn away from the music oh you turn to your friends your virtual friends get your head Center girl i love this concert it is very gimmicky a little gaming you're gonna end up facing forward and also you're gonna like you to be like and then if somebody calls you in your look and it's gonna like ruin your experience but again i just get gaming is where this this needs to happen I this is like the only focus beaming the game yeah yeah because you wear headphones when you're playing like call of duty to like listen for footsteps of course you're where people are moving cuz when they reload you can hear it so then you could like turn and you can hear exactly where it's coming all spatial awareness that's what that's all about so tell you what hack it until they do gaming okay I'm gonna agree with you I think I think no I vote no until you can get it for oculus rift and console and PC games yeah that's what I cuz it's really cool that it can do like the music and movies described like that but ultimately I'll be cool with that for like five minutes and then I'll be like all right shut that off let's just listen the music so so I for that as well so that's a that's our backer Hackett um and so both will say hack until gaming but neos over on Kickstarter if you want to check it out all right now it is time to go over all the delightful things you guys have said to us over the weekend so it is time for user feedback last week we asked you guys to use hashtag TD wax to tell us what's seen you'd want to like walk through like it's recreated in wax on because we did the Madame Tussauds Star Wars experience that they're doing in London you guys came up with some good stuff gimme gimme yum yum I don't know how to pronounce your name so I'm just gonna say yummy he says Hogwarts castle are they all gonna be a harry potter again no okay uh tom wrote to us and say that's a good one easy the simpsons how cool it on the couch was Homer wax yep yep wow yeah that's great I thought that was really good one yeah uh Nate wrote in and said Coraline with the witch Alice in Wonderland and spirited away can I just say uh Alice aware that was a good choice Coraline with the witch scene like I thought about that cuz i love Coraline like I keds huge round movie in the book and I thought that that is the biggest bucket of nightmare fuel I think I've ever heard of are you like walking to Madame Tussauds and it's like that terrifying nightmare scene is like the other mother and she's a spider it's like that's horrifying to me and I just thought that was really funny that you would say that like oh that seems like a thing I'd want to go do like you're weird guy nay at night I like it Caleb said I'd want to experience the say my name Breaking Bad seen my show so much to two-parter on this I seem like taking a selfie with Walt liked it I know just like what up Heisenberg uh two things with this please don't send me any more walking debt are very Breaking Bad to spoilers because I'm right in the middle of watching it I'm almost done the most I mean that wasn't a spoiler but I the eyes but I'm right in the middle of season four and I just want to protect myself please don't send over any you stop doing everything cuz I'm even during the Super Bowl they had the well they have that but I'd like that's fine cuz I've seen him like making you know cooking and stop fine whatever but like and I know that his nickname is Heisenberg like that's it so I get it but like please don't send anything more specific like send generic if you're gonna said anything about breaking bad just sent in generic which we're listen the husband and I were barreling through we're trying really hard to get through it as fast as we can so to avoid spars I have been lucky off to avoid all breaking bad spoilers on the internet I have not seen one breaking bad spoiler which I feel like I'm the only person in the university's not been spoiled so I literally avoided the internet for like two days after the series finale as to but not I don't want to know what happens so there you go and then Rob wrote to us and gave us a whole list of stuff which I love he gave us a bunch of green oh god here we go I'd like to see 1420 at Elm Street which is Nancy's house from a nightmare on elm street I like that he knew the address Hathaway house western hills psychiatric hospital from a nightmare on elm street 707 meridian avenue mike myers house smiths grove mental institution Camp Camp Crystal Lake Xavier Institute for gifted youngsters the Batcave Arkham Asylum mansion her police station and resonate evil I like our mansion or police station from Resident Evil I should say scary stuff it's all really scary stuff but I'd like I dig it I'm into it and Rob I think you can actually see all those not built in wax but at like Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights that's true sport go do some of that stuff which I enjoy greatly I love love all that stuff i like i like scary movie i cor movies and i love it it's great so good yeah that's alright that's our user feedback so it's Everlast pc user feedback though which is our phone time for the day Tom wrote in to us you know yeah it's about time Tom really uh he said hi Ashley and Kayla I was looking at my office window on a Friday afternoon and snapped these hearts made by tire tracks in the snow with my hand es for tomorrow Delia's appointment TV for me and my family of five on cnet throat good channel we enjoy being informed with your tech fun PS I'd be a hero to my techie daughters if I can make it as a phone tog refer take it easy Tom near Toronto hi Tom's family Tom near Toronto is now here by nickname TNT Tom near Toronto that's your nickname DMV Tom TNT explosive yeah um he's a gas explosive I love this picture its little heart so that you in the snow yeah Tom you actually does it like we're not even we're not even trying to impress your family these are really good guys are actually pretty good I I dig it I'm really impressed hi family hello Tom TNT's family oh we're a part of it we're part of the family there yeah we're part of TNTs family now I'm just invited ourselves to be a part of your family are coming

taking a big deep breath facebook instagram twitter snapchat tumblr at tomorrow daily and tomorrow daily TV over on google+ don't let you nail them all it's pretty much everything to right you did say snapchat whoa still getting over hurdle I don't even know yeah we're trying to fake listen we're old we're old we have canes and some walkers we don't understand it's not even that it's not even that it's just you just how many things did you name and how hard is it to like wrangle down on all the really hard so really hard mostly mostly our actions happening on Twitter most Twitter see Twitter an
