Tomorrow Daily - 133: Spider-like 3D printing, the YouTube Kids app and more

2015-02-23
on today's show a 3d printed arm that can make 3d printing like spider silk a new youtube app that isn't for everyone and an artistic installation that turns the artist into the canvas hey it's me it's also tmrw 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 joining me I mean technically you've been here most of the time joy I'm joining you once again kill anonymous we thought you were dead oh yeah I feel like I always dies no Logan and I we already mourned you I know I saw the eulogy on last week's show really yeah it was real short cuz we're sorry we're short on time but well welcome back I'm glad I'm glad that everything's going fine now right pretty gap since was for a reason yes pretty good the dogs are fine ring still in cones they're still in the cones of shame but they I think they get out this Friday they get their stitches out but all is well surgery went very well for both of them some some minor complications post-surgery for both of them of course because what would a surgery be if there weren't complications but generally speaking there and they're in good spirits and are being plied with treats probably as I speak so doing very well so Bailey and Jenkins send their thank yous um you ready to talk about some technology I've been waiting for all weekend yeah excellent let's let's hit the headlines so one of the big puzzles of 3d printing becoming mainstream one of the questions that you have to answer is how do you make things that are not reliant one on gravity which is like you build things layer by layer and then it relies on gravity to sort of settle in yeah um so that's that's the biggest question and then also how do you make things in a fully realized space like a full 3d kind of structure without again relying on gravity so I thought this was really interesting this is from Shanghai these are developers from a group called jishi and they were part of this digital future workshop check that are now it's like a spider it is it looks just like a spider they this is a robotic arm hey that's a spider that was an actual spider on the video they made this 3d printing arm that replicates a spider weaving a web so what they did was and they're calling this biomimetic fabricating process so a biomimetic fabricating process the actual arm is called the robotic sixaxis 3d printer and their goal they say is to eliminate the line between designing and fabricating so what they want to do with this arm and what they apparently have done based on the video is to mimic the way a spider the microstructure of how spiders sort of build silk threads and how they do that is if you're looking at the end of this one it kind of looks like the gun from honey i shrunk the kids a little bit but like there are three okay so there's four different servos running four different 3d printer heads at the tip of this robot arm one of them is right in the center and it's stationary and then there's three that surround it in sort of a triangle like triangulating around it and the three around it actually move so they AUSA late and as they oscillate you can see in this time-lapse video it builds a 3d structure in midair without the need for additional support so a lot of times when you have to build stuff like this you need to have some sort of support structure holding it up otherwise it won't stay up but this is really remarkable because it doesn't need that and you can see all of these different chains that they were able to build without any additional support structure required to keep them standing so it's pretty cool that they were able to sort of make this happen my god there they are right there that you can see the three of them are moving in and out and then making that sort of interesting pattern and then there's the one in the middle that goes straight that is so it's so crazy when we use Tet with like we end up having to go back to nature to figure stuff out yeah you're like the honeycomb is like the like the most naturally like it can create the most dense structures it's so brief figured that assistant writers are now making self-reliant right and so it's great they mentioned that too like when they were saying why they decided to kind of go with the spider is just so this is a really strong structure obviously and the second thing is is that in nature spiders are able to create webs that are self-sustaining they don't need additional structural support they just started one and they go to the next so I thought this was really cool and that it took apparently took three weeks to create this robot just probably oh you don't worry up design it and put it all together intrigues because they've read this read a bowl yeah there at that workshop it took them three weeks to put that together so there you go and absolutely go oh cool so cool I want them to make that a candy now just like me Kelly sorry little ropes like a little licorice like all the way around okay tell me about talk about YouTube all right so for this next for this next story I have to introduce a brand new segment two tomorrow daily this segment is called if you're ready but heck I'm just happy kids have access to such a cool form of media like this YouTube kids app segment that's really wordy but I like it yeah it's going great like that graphic so check this out today youtube announced they're going to be releasing a new app this is the called the YouTube kids app and it's out for iOS and Android this app pairs down content specifically for kids into a simple navigated into simple out navigated channels that means you won't end up what your kids won't end up watching question on loteria questionable material the watch of which there is much on YouTube yeah so questionable material including bad language violence or content with me in it there's categories for shows music and learning so to keep your kids busy even though the menu has annoying music and sound effects okay look it did look pretty simplified which is nice because I know that sometimes the YouTube app itself like on iphone and ipad gets a little bogged down yeah you look at it and it's very it's very user-friendly for kids you can tell that the app is for kids when you use it some of the shows that I I was able to look through because I downloaded it checked it out the sesame street's on the show's Thomas the Tank of friends DreamWorks a Babar Barney my little pony and a bunch of other stuff I didn't know because I'm not five and I don't have kids I liked the I like that they had like some science programs like actual like the real life people not cartoons or puppets or whatever doing like science projects and things like that like they showed in the video you were able to like type in you know what is the Sun made of and or whatever and then it would show you some videos that were kind of related to that but appropriate age appropriate yeah so it's rach are there like so many kids TED talks to which was which is very interesting to me child said yes their goal is this app will ensure that your kids can watch videos posted online without stumbling on clips that you wouldn't want them to see and then parents can lock off you know certain like they can lock it to specific content so they're okay um but anyway so yeah that's that's all we have on this brand new segment called way to the graph wait for it man i wish i had this as a kid but heck I'm just happy kids have access to such former media like this you keep kids out I really like that ukulele yeah it's copyrighted by the way you cannot use that name for any other side now this i saw i saw the copyright right at the m there so everybody thinking about using it do not the segments are really gonna take off i'm looking forward to bringing more if you use it you're gonna hear from kales lawyers of their of which there are many so i assume your next segment is actually it brings you the hashtag of the day so hashtag of the day is TD kids thanks for your Logan and it's not it's not man I wish I have this as a kid it's not it's not that no it's man i wish i had this a kid back i'm just happy kids have access to such a cool cool form of media like this YouTube kids out I won't make you guys thank you bring it back um so there are snug days TD kids and the question is okay so say you had to make a children show for this for this channel okay for these for this app what would your children show be a man there's bugs everywhere and then I go around and I find bugs in different places of the city and you eat them no I would find them and then run away oh okay I like that you yeah okay it would be like me showing kids where there's bugs like worms I approaches I recently just I really like this I like this idea that like we're going with this it seems like it could be a really big hit man there's what is it called again man there's bugs everywhere bugs everywhere there's bugs everywhere stupid hey continue I think okay I this gonna sound really dumb but I really got into making mug cakes this weekend have you ever heard of this no ok so like an old woman thing no there's only two of us in our house so to make a full size cake like that's a lot of cake and we're not gonna eat it Oh in a mug so you make a little tiny bit of batter and you pour it in a muggy you put in your microwave you microwave it for like a minute and it's a cake it's like the greatest thing ever I've just discovered this that sounds like dangerous to like health super dangerous like before bed have a mug each have a mug of cake um we we had some chocolate mud cake last night during the oscars and it was delicious but i like i like that idea of like here's how to like cook a little bit but for kids like small kids so it's like things that are not gonna be super dangerous poisons yeah yeah suna and and small portion so it's like you make yourself a snack by the way at home if you forgot your friend's birthday make mud cake yeah and also a bad friend but still and also that we would have the inevitable crossover episode of their bugs everywhere in my mug cakes and then it would be that's for each week just we would have wheat of six foods and they can make cricket mud cake and then feed it to kale why does he why are you you're ruining my show I'm sorry I'm really good at that guy is that already been canceled so TD what what is any kids ok TV kids um all right this very last story I thought was so cool i love these art installations if people are so creative about this stuff this comes from nyu's interactive telecommunications program it's called skin deep oh so we're going to see how this works so ok you have this projection of their 3d models of the two artists hmm and the artist name are Rosalie you and a lawn chitta yacht and they scanned themselves into this 3d modeling program and then they let you the visitor sit down and you can see this person is like sketching out or drawing coloring in a space whatever okay so what she's writing on right there is a piece of paper that has cutouts of the artist body so portions of the actual 3d model that are 2d ok ok so they're designing little pieces and then you can see right there it there's a webcam pointed down at the paper and then in real time it translates your art onto their 3d rotating projector oh that's interesting it's so cool like i love this i think this is a really awesome idea and it turns i really love this concept of turning the artist into the canvas so that's sort of the goal for them here and they're using technology like webcams and they created their own software i was one of them that have been an animal or something we'll see but that's the cool thing is that they could do that if they wanted to so you could really find all kinds of ways to sort of integrate this into art so here's all the different ways people have designed it and as they flip through there you go it changes you can see in real time exactly how people have designed them technically that's fantastic little really cool that'd be good for like design companies I want to see that it's music that yeah like I'm going on with the kids theme like that would be a really fun thing an interactive fun thing at a kids museum or like you said like I really like this idea of like brands doing this and being like help us design our new or whatever you know and then they do these like cool contests and everything where people can go in and like do real-time art on something that is then projected in 3d that's a cool find it's really good I just thought that was really cool so um so yeah you can I think I don't know if they have the I don't know if they have like an actual exhibit going on right now but they showed this off and then maybe it's other ongoing or maybe it just ended but I just thought that was amazing so great job NYU students again they're being creative their names are Rosalie you and a lon chitta yacht they should yeah we should take that on the road that yeah they should totally take that over but it's called skin deep and you can check it out they have a website whole website about like how they did it and probably put a like there's a glow skin deep yeah it sounds like it's gonna be gross it was like beauty's only skin deep and then it's like you've been drawn their skin mmm salt to a bad start gettin can go it out okay yeah let's skin fashion skin skin fasho nope next segment where we going okay we're gonna go and take a quick break for a second and then we're gonna come back with back under Hackett we're very interesting products for back at our hack and I'm really curious to see what you think about that and then of course we have your user feedback about the drone circus and our phone time for the day so don't look away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we've returned we've returned it's monday we're in a glass case of emotion it's very exciting milk was a bad choice no cuz a terrible choice um but you know like I said it is Monday which means it's time for her back at her Hackett I thought this was really interesting and I don't know if you're gonna really like this or maybe you'll hate it but it's called the memento pearl okay okay like it so far okay so what this is is it's a little bit of jewelry so there's the Pearl right there looks like a normal standard necklace I hate it but it's got NFC on the inside so notice they're tapping it against the backs of their phones whoa what she just realized ok so what she's realizing is there's a voice that was playing on her phone once she taps on the back so how this works is this is kind of crazy and I like I saw this and I thought this is really cool so the Pearl has NFC capabilities inside it and it allows the user to store information on the Pearl to access later so you would ok so let's say you buy it for your girlfriend you buy the Pearl you record you get the app you record a message and you tap the Pearl to the device to your phone and then uses NFC to transfer that data to the pearl ok so then you would give it to her as a gift and then she could then go get the app tap it's the back of her phone and then hear the message that you recorded or she would be able to see the picture you took or the video that you took like you could attach a lot of different things ok a lot of different things or just like a couple of things I would say like a handful of thing ok like what like they do voiceovers like one thing the pictures like this is lady showing how it works he's ok yeah he comes on necklaces in your necklace is wearing rings um I but I thought this was a really interesting way to use technology and in a way that was not so obvious um and I like I found it really fascinating that they were that they're really into using like high-end jewelry is like a way to sort of get people to use technology or maybe normally wouldn't use it or like as a clever interesting gift ok no now you you keep saying gifts so now I need to know how much it's gonna cost ok ready to get that's that's it's cool but now I need to know I'm the person who is just like I'm just gonna buy it for myself my husband hates I don't have like a million dollars I know it's not gonna cost you a million dollars so if you would be if you want to be an early backer an early bird backer it's gonna cost you $95 for a white pearl or 125 for black which isn't terrible for the necklace is it an actual pearl mm-hmm it's an actual pearl with an NFC chip inside okay going and then after the early bird is gone so once that's cleared out oh yeah look there there plucking the pearls okay so this is really interesting too i'll explain that in a second so notice i'll explain what's going on in that so 130 150 for the the white or yellow okay so or the white or black pearls so the thing that they were doing in that video that we just saw where they were kind of like carving out they actually uh first this is like the expensive one I think it starts at seven hundred and fifty dollars but it's a gemstone that they put into an actual oyster and then put it back in the ocean for like 18 months and then the oyster rebuilds a pearl around it and so then they carve out a shape into the this new pearl to where you can see the color on the inside Wow yeah so these people already have money then yeah like they've got a whole thing this company very clearly knows what they're doing and they've been around for a while but they're doing Kickstarter they want to start doing this and but here's the thing because of that the estimated delivery for this they want 50 grand to start production on these and to do it if it if it gets funded deliveries April it's like a month and a half six six weeks from now they should have done it before Valentine's Day I know I feel like they really I was a missed opportunity but this is really cool and I thought I thought for a few reasons one like they mentioned in the video there's a lot of like you know obviously tugging at your heart strings type of thing where it was like they had a girl who had like a message from her soldier boyfriend or husband then they had another lady who like you know got this beautiful gift and it had this very nice sentiment attached to it with like voice but they also mentioned things like taking pictures of your kids you can keep sort of these things as mementos without carrying them on you so it's if you like subtle jewelry but also something that is a reminder they talked about it being sort of a digital locket and I really the idea of that so I like this concept a lot and I think for 95 bucks like I feel like I would go in on it I feel like I would back it just out of pure interest and also it's just a nice piece of jewelry even if it stops working or becomes incompatible still a nice piece of jewelry hmm that's what I think but it gets more expensive like as you go up I think to add the earrings it's like 250 like it's another cheaper because that's two pearls and those are also NFC like you can use them so it's like around 120 bucks per pearl I'm all over the map on this one as far as what I was so curious to see what you think about this because I was like kale is either gonna love this tour hate this and I can't decide which one are you decide either line dear i love like technology you know a jewelry like it's like a 3d printed whatever or it has some sort of digital remember they had the the necklace or whatever that would change based on right yeah and sound and stuff like that and those are really cool but this is a company that already exists and probably could do this themselves but they just want help well let me ask you this this is also your testing the market as well is it this is also probably a jewelry company who hasn't really gotten into technology and are testing the waters through Kickstarter to see what I have started to be though okay so this is a this is a new discussion yes I want Kickstarter to be people that have no ability to do it themselves getting an opportunity because they came up with such a great idea that's fair I like this it's not cool enough to like for me to like wanna back a company that already has their stuff too good do it yeah but what if they don't have a lot of capital what they're just an established jewelry company they gotta make they got to take a risk just like everybody else okay alright so I like it we're not back in it oh ok I wait until they come out and then they get man you'll see a fancy for me I say I'd like a jerk I don't know not at all i think that's a really good argument I just for me like I think I'm interested enough to say like okay I would pay a hundred bucks to this like I would pay a hundred dollars for a Fitbit why wouldn't I pay a hundred I tell you what the fact that they can shipman April already means that they're made so that's a that's what I'm telling you is that or that they already has them oh that they can really ramp production up very quickly there the fact that they have the ability to kick him out in April shares it there you have enough you know capital and backing I don't disagree with you alright so I gotta get back at Hackett I think so and so far the idea though they want fifty thousand dollars so far they have last I checked they had about seven thousand it's probably will probably little more than that it only think of 7200 last time I looked so we'll see see how see how it goes all right guys it's time to talk about your thoughts because it's all about you right now this is user feedback would you make that the theme song you say it's all about you just get rid of the little boob then you can watch it on YouTube kids yeah could you watch this show on YouTube kids hey you say Fanny a few times well I would say no just because of some of the stories probably not appropriate yeah skin deep sounded like it was gonna be well there was like color-changing bras like that probably wouldn't work or another site yeah you missed that when I was a that was an early one okay guys last week Kim and kale asked you guys to use the hashtag TT circus to tell us what you want to see it the drone circus yeah uh and you guys came through with some good stuff what is Houston what do you want to see what do I want to see I was so sad I didn't get to talk about this well where's my drone freak show where's all like the weird like NASA drones that are like janky kind of weird like that but also really cool and it's like people would pay extra go see those like I like that like the weird experimental drones I like how my answer was just like the servants they like bringing popcorn and cut I like that you suggested a drone bear I like oh yeah the drone bear this I thought that was cool what did they say I wanted to see the drones like fly into the mouths of tigers then fly out like I be good all right anyway Kylie wrote and said I want to see a strong man drone in my TD circus able to balance and lift all the other drones that's cool I said versatile very versatile I'm mark wrote and said two words hashtag flesh fair which I gave I don't know what that means but I was slightly disturbed and intrigued all the same time so mark thank you Carl wrote in and said how about aerial battle drones you know battlebots reboot but oh but like in the air yeah is that what they're gonna do with the battle reboot I don't think small I don't know I don't see a good idea but although it would be one hit and they're down I don't know well you put our moradabad stuff i'd be really i cold and then Walter wrote in and said I want to see tightrope walkers and crazy clowns clowns drones took a kick like rubber runs up but it's got like a little flower and it squirts water yeah wise away I like the Contra lot of drugs how many comedy clown drones could you fit in a car and they all fly out the open the door they all fly out would be amazing oh god I love you guys um all right it's time for our very last piece to use your feedback which as always is our phones agra for the day we got two pictures tonight from David okay he was aggressive David wrote in and he sent us two pictures and he said hello there I took these pics on my vacation in Miami with my mom I enjoy your show Ashley I want to be your favorite and I took these pics of my iphone 6 plus I think these

little bit like I feel a little saucy like may want to go to a nightclub I'm gonna go party get a Lamborghini you drive around town is not what people do maybe you're like a criminal that's like South Beach okay I thought you stole that stuffing like broken oh I rented it everybody rents Lamborghinis yeah I don't know that I'd want to buy a Lamborghini down in Miami it feels like that would be it's a liability just waiting to happen I don't know by Lamborghini get a little pearl NFC chip yeah whenever I tap the Pearl to the car like says something to be really weird um well listen David not
