Tomorrow Daily - Activists use human holograms to protest, and you can get involved, Ep. 162

2015-04-15
on today's show activists in Spain are using Holograms to protest if you're as big a fan of animation as me your mind is going to be blown when you see this animated short that's only made from 3d printed objects so cool and also Boeing patented a very interesting bag pack that they think will help you sleep better on a flight it also looks ridiculous tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the Internet to welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley scare the join bees always killing orcs I do like that you kept it real you at least admitted that it looks ridiculous oh it looks okay lately ridiculous alright completely ridiculous uh but you know this first story we might get a little we might uh we don't khodet oh we're gonna fight on one minute no I don't think so but let's just let's get into it let's hit headlines so we're not gonna politicize this because it would be easy to but I want to explain what's going on in Spain right now cuz I I think this is crazy and it opens up some doors and capabilities that I never thought were possible with activism and protesting okay so uh late last year Spain passed the law that I set up really heavy fines for anybody who protested in front of a government building which is kind of a big deal like that's a little bit of like government censorship yeah you should be able to do that freedom of assembly type stuff so um people were very angry about that and activists set up a way to protest with kind of a futuristic bent and there was actually a demonstration that happened this past weekend in front of Madrid Spanish Parliament what those are hologram people protesting in front of Spanish Parliament look like ghosts they do look like oh so good protesting ghosts so they're saying that these Holograms it's symbolic that Holograms have more freedoms of protest then people do an actual physical people so a really strong message there and it's called the movement it's called the no somos delito movement which means we are not crime and it had over a hundred participating organizations all come together sort of put this a hologram rally into action and they're hoping more people around the world will join in by get this uploading a picture of their face to their website and then they're going to add you into the rod do that oh yeah me too I want to be there wait wait that's a little scary because they may just put you in a protest you won't be a party yeah exactly say okay so we're gonna we're going to get some acts this is I think this is a really interesting conversation so I think it's interesting that maybe for example if you see we're in California it's tough to get to let's say the ran at the rally for sanity that Jon Stewart did a couple years ago in Washington DC yeah I would have loved to have been there unfortunately a little bit cost prohibitive to fly all the way across the country get a hotel room in Washington DC like it's expensive is this now like maybe a viable way to appear at a rally that you feel very strongly about but maybe don't have the funds so you can do like the million hologram march million hologram march maybe it's coming who knows and you might have even more people than that show up if it's hologram and people could upload their you know out of their pictures I don't there's there's two sides of this first of all I don't think it's gonna be as effective to not have bodies bodies like that's real protest is about we're here and we're like we're present and there is something we don't anymore bears no more bears and the sacrifice of paying that money to fly across country and be there because you have to be there in person because it's so important this in whatever issue is you look out your government building you know stroking your cat and you see new to all these human beings that are like me that's me but on the flip side of the coin maybe the visualization of the hologram of just how many people like you can sign a petition to get a million signatures but it just looks like a bunch of papers but maybe you can project all those millions of faces outside their bikes okay real human beings kill anonymous nasty skater are out there they've got horse bodies but still yeah there's a million of them at like a centaur but I'm out there yeah is it but I so I think that's really interesting so maybe someday we might be able to sort of take a picture with the cell phone upload it to you know some website that we feel strong about they're gonna have like an event or whatever and then you would be seen there but I do that is interesting I do find it very important that you mentioned you know there are some like image use rights like can that chem that organization then use your image for other rallies yeah you know in the future because you've uploaded your amazing race let's save the whales one I don't want to say the will you're likely as well Zartan get them out of here put them somewhere else terrible no but I mean you could it could be something like something politically you don't want to be involved in but ya know it's it's very interesting it's very interesting I thought was pretty cool so uh obviously we all want world peace I'm not going to pull it a size this by making the hashtag of the day where what rally do you want to go visit right now and yes there's a lot of what do you stand for there's a lot of terrible things going on in the world that you could obviously protest against so I figured we would give this a tomorrow daily twist so the hashtag of the day today it would be really funny the hashtag of the day days TD protest and I want you to tell me the pettiest most trivial thing a protest that you would send your face to as a hologram like first world problems like just like I am going to go protest the fact that we don't have pumpkin spice lattes all year round uh sir oh I got one like just petty and it's dumb and funny or it could be totally imaginary you can make up a protest okay so please okay got a couple okay okay my first one is I'd like to protest that there's no hoverboards that's very of saying so I want to go the girlfriend be live no Mattel and just protest outside their project that there I think of even I hole because it's 2015 and they have Holograms the second protest is I want to protest at my house because my girlfriend every time she makes coffee she leaves a little Splenda like wrapper on the counter and I keep telling her to clean it up and it's time to needs to stop time you need to stand up for this make us no more splint on the counter are empty splendid parative movie the trash cans right here just go like this boom it's in the trash I just every morning every morning your girlfriend goes out to make coffee and there's a hologram kill it's like no just with like with a kinda just what their sign like stop oppressing me I with your splenda pack I assume yours is better oh well that was one of the big ones of the pumpkin spice latte thanks I mean like I said all day just put me out oh it's so basic setting you have a projection of a bunch of basic ladies a bunch of basic ladies give me a bunch of basic basic bees out there basic bees and then I I think the other thing though is I would protest little dog Jenkins as you will know likes to bring snails in the house I'm a protest my dog no more snails in the house cuz it's gross and you're leaving their bodies your strip the bodies just strewn all over our Florence I'll say this your dog would love that because you would be a home all the type that's so true you just made your dog happy I did all right and put my foot down my hologram foot down I want you snail guts is so gross so okay I am a huge fan of animation did no transition I'm a huge fan of animation that's a stop motion is always so charming and so amazing my favorite and the time that goes into it and the fact that it's such a unique art form well if you wanted to if you thought that that was difficult this guy made like a stop-motion animation with 3d printed like characters and whatnot oh but what I mean by that is it he printed out of character and then moved it frame by frame no each frame is a different 3d printed character a three different 3d printed motion it took him two years to make this so let's get a little bit this is a short this is a short film it is a short film computer years oh gosh look at that so all right so the guy that did this is French animator named Alexander disks god is how I'm assume it's going to pronounce it's called chase me it is about a little girl that's walking through a magical forest and her shadow keeps changing into things see what you're saying is every single little rain thing that it like it if she takes one step it's that's another 3d printed thing yes sent out it's incredible it took over 80 litres of resin so he had like.he had went through a lot of resin 2500 prints and over 6,000 hours of non-stop printing time see Wow bigger and smaller depending on if she gets closer oh my god didn't even think about that yeah when she gets closer to the screen name iron mochi they had a 3d print the environment uh so yeah every time every time there was a movement or anything and it looks beautiful it's corn this is gorgeous look it's art it's unbelievable so right now he's not he hasn't uploaded it you can't like watch the thing yet this is right there's only like trailers and looks at it okay because he wants to enter it into competitions oh well since I love to see I can't look even though is moving is there hair like Swayze win laying around oh this is unbelievable took two years again the guy's name is Alexander dis god i would recommend if you get a chance go and just be blown away that this is 830 yet chase me it just be blown away by the fact that somebody put so much time it is it's it's incredible and it looks it's charming yeah sorry as an animation fan i always go to animation film festivals and i'm always looking for someone to try something new and this is just unbelievable you would probably for me you probably won't see anything like this again for a while and this is a lot of work so i can't imagine I mean I'm a really big stop motion animation fan I have two Nightmare Before Christmas tattoos so definitely do um and I know the process that goes into making that and so I can't even imagine adding adding time to that process cuz it's already so painstaking and so intense and and specific to add the fact that like you were saying like 3d printing these little tiny like characters they get bigger and smaller as you go it's like man I can't even I can't even begin to imagine the heart it's incredible Alexander well done great work few years well I hope you win some awards I'm looking forward to seeing it I was yet this is awesome so cool so so very very cool using tech and 3d printed you actually do some art so cross them all right now that we're done freaking out of her amazing stop motion animation ah I got to talk about this weird this weird chair back oh it's lovely chair okay it is really ridiculous but boeing patented this I kind of contraption that they think is going to help you sleep better on a plane so obviously sleeping on plane is a nightmare this this video patent yogi does these great videos where they see patents that are that come out and then they they animate them and show you like what how it would work in real life so this is really cool that they did this um so this is a bag pack and then basically there be these straps you hook them to your chair you hook them to your little little chair buckles or whatever and then you flip up the back and it's a head cushion and what you do is you lean in and there's like a massage table like sort of thing with a cutout whole you push your face into it and then you have a chest cushion is the main part of the bag pack and then you sleep you put your whole weight into it and lean forward and you sleep just kind of like suspended in midair like what is this so oh they're they're making a gag about Tom Cruise hanging out the side of the window off the side of the plane for Mission Impossible well that was a quick turnaround yeah very very weird um but yeah so this is the this is the the contraption that they have sort of figured out they think that this is sort of the way to like get people to have comfortable sleep in planes especially considering you know those first class like layout beds are so expensive on long-distance flights that this might be something that people passengers would maybe want to use at some point in the future sort of get restful sleep without you know your neck hurts or you got to buy those weird things and then you have to figure out how to like stuff them back in your bag like while you travel and everything so a really weird patent but i think the creepiest part about it is the name that they gave it which is is the cuddle chair no good boeing no super weird um what people don't like to cuddle like it in public not on an airplane they're not an airplane I don't know thanks so um but the nice thing is is that if you were really worried that you might have to use one of these sometimes soon that's probably not the case because but a Boeing spokesperson said quote they file many patents every year but that doesn't necessarily mean we ended up pursuing them so they filed a patent for this but we don't know exactly if they will ever actually use it but it is still really weird that they're even thinking about this you ever seen sky mall or camels gone now bankrupt rest in peace and sky Molly had one where it was like this inflated one that you set on your wedding table the weds and you like plop your head into it yeah like dude like that i don't know but that's actually how I sleep on planes I just get a like my hoodie or whatever I take it off I wrap it in like a circle or the neck thing I actually don't use it like around my neck I just put it on the tray table and then just put my face in it like you're in a massage table and then I just you know like your student you just put your head down you go to sleep that's how I sleep on a pole not not that this conversation needs to be extended any longer but they have on the back of the chair these little things that you can bend inward so that it holds your head kind of in place and they can just close your eyes and go to sleep see but for me those don't work I was oh you your head is too heavy my head and brain to be no no no it's just my head and it's empty for the most part nothing Legos keep Legos like a Clementine sized brain in there somewhere so but anyway that's what Boeing is thinking about and we're gonna take a quick break and find out what that terrible noise was outside because I think somebody fell off of a ladder and we'll be right back but you are then a donut in space welcome back to the show fortunately no one was I don't think harm we just sort of listened against the door we didn't actually open it I was too scared I thought that maybe there might be like yeah he's okay I thought maybe those I thought maybe those like dog things from ghostbusters were out there like eating people oh my god I remember the name either I just said no gatekeepers wait master in the gatekeeper I mean I know that but that was like uh anyway so no one was hopefully injured I don't know are you ready to talk about cool stuff that people made that we really like no okay well we're gonna do it anyway all right my spot all right graphics still pretty cool I love it uh so the Apple watch is coming out next week 24th officially pre-orders already sold out you can't get one in till like May or something Oh Brian talking has like five of them he he ordered eight for each arm it's just really exciting in each he ordered everybody bling out every skew he just got one of each um just to be a walking hi phone what's up guys hey guys i'm brian Tong um so I wondered brian Tong ever watches these he's probably like no that's why hey that's no that's why I do it's cuz I know he doesn't want but I love I even laugh and I even razzed him in one of the in the comments of what of his video be my bride talk so uh good guy if you don't want the Apple watch maybe you're thinking you might want something a little more retro this is awesome it's the Apple to watch so let's get old school and let's check out the Apple to watch but some awesome video of this this guy instructables contribute or la alligator 777 made this Apple to watch that's a little watch by the way gonna see how it works um it works which is so cool that's actually a 1.8 inch TFT screen look at what yes it's a TFT screen and a made it monochrome it even has a little digital crown right there so you can scroll seeds over the scroll he's got the little floppy drives what fake will floppy drives that you can you can fake put in there and it's not going to load anything but still funny and yeah it's so awesome so he 3d printed the little case he designed it 3d printed he got little stickers made little vinyl stickers and everything spray painted it and you can make your own open-source instructable he's got it on instructables com you can actually uh I didn't know this about instructables but they have a thing now where because I it's been a while since I've been there they have a thing now where if someone has 3d printed parts you can actually either download the 3d model or there's a button that says buy it on whatever printing 3d printing site so you don't have to have a 3d printer if you want to build one yourself now you can buy the 3d printed pieces get them shipped to your house and then and then do all the other stuff cool awesome yeah so uh he was basically he he put this all together and even Steve Wozniak's office and posted about it on Facebook and said this I might be biased but I would buy one and wear it he should send him one I'd yeah send was that watch dude because that I mean and if you don't send it to watch send it to me cuz I would rock that watch like that's a tough choice to either you or the co Creek Road co-founder of Apple I mean either either choice is a good choice but you know I will understand if you pics pic was cuz woz is pretty awesome so yeah this guy I like that he didn't want to keep the design to himself I he's like nope anyone wants to make one you're more than welcome they legally couldn't um well could keep it to himself he could he could just say well I'm not releasing the design but the thing is is like it wasn't he thought I hope he wears this watch around so T like is such if you wore this your party like a conversation piece yeah hey you want to check out the new Apple watch I have the apple to watch I actually I'm gonna go ahead and say this I like this better than me I detail Apple I want one of these so bad and listen if any what do you think Brian song if anyone out there makes one of these and doesn't know what to do with it I'm not joking just email me and maybe i'll buy it from you hmm i don't know if it's it I don't lie to say no there's a microphone mic I know might we'll do it off the record do it do it like this and then do it with your right no that's it yeah all right I think that's as much as I pay that's that I think you'd have to go more than the herald of woe couple time little pep that that seems too much it's a way to handcrafted sorry Jess all right anyway it's an outrage uh all right guys speaking of use if you're listening I'm late audio pump you got to be so confused you're listening so are you crashed into something trying to listen to what we're saying uh you guys are pretty amazing and every day you send in great feedback so let's talk about it tease your feedback before we get into our TD Robo cook hashtag I just want to let you know that uh roll is the girl's name yes alright we're slowly figuring out all the characters names of megaman thanks to you guys to viewers wrote into its role because his name in Japan is rockman megaman zero classic rock and roll so it's rush roll and megaman yeah I feel like there's another character missing though I feel like there's another one that was like part of his group doesn't know that's a professor i almost said Robotnik wily nily dr. wily dr. Wylie um ok so TD Robo cook yes by the way you guys are so awesome uh te robo cook we asked you guys to write in about and Daniel wrote in and said hey guys I love watching the show for TD Robo cook I would want the robot to make me sushi every time I came home from school thanks that's you we're on the same page Frank wrote in and said I'm a buyer if that robot can cook like hashtag walk with yan um which I love you put it on this shirt yeah is it TD Robo cook um and then Matthew wrote in and said I've never had turkish delight from Narnia and it would be a real surprise delight to try that oh good what magical stuff wouldn't even think about that that's good I pick a bunch of stuff from Harry Potter like the little chocolate frogs and stuff yeah that'd be Debbie creepy it would have to be jumping around uh Rick Rhoden said combine this robot with the robot bartender from that cruise and the waiters from the Japanese hotel you get your own future restaurant you go you don't need friends anymore no you have robot friends you have they have no soul mm-hmm and then lastly so a little bit of side we talked about digit ox the watch the add-on thing earlier this week so Richard wrote in and said here's my take on digit ox I have a job where I'm constantly moving and working on electronics I've worn a watch since I can remember and I have a SmartWatch now I don't really think this is pointless here's reasons I wear bluetooth headphones for music and I get calls constantly in text this helps with being on my back working so maybe he's like a mechanic or he works on things where he has to like kind of be precision working like he's like laying on his back looking up at something and so he says I can't access my phone when my boss calls so using my SmartWatch answer my phone and my headset to talk i can continue to work and answer questions i also love the fact that if you leave my if i leave my phone somewhere it alerts me that i have been disconnected and i also can use it to find my phone when I lose it between the couch cushions so in final this is ok if you aren't productive and then you deserve to get the vibrating email alert that you're fired however I wait a minute I feel like he's adding a lot of features that we didn't mention I think he's talking about just smart watches in general Oh smart watches yeah that's fine yeah I think there's you know but digit ox is kind of interesting because it's like using your analog watch and adding kind of notifications to it yeah it's just it's just a vibrating notification right it doesn't like it doesn't act as a I can't talk to answer a you can't program it to do anything else but vibrate but he does say I would love the SmartWatch industry to really get into the design industry and produce a market of watches with the smart part and the classy look so I think he's hoping for maybe a SmartWatch that looks more like an actual like timepiece as opposed to like the screen yeah i think that sort of the like two years from now well there's the there's the Withings activity pop which looks like an analog what a name the huawei watch looks really good what another name yeah there's like a whole bunch always huawei um but yeah there's there's some good ones and he says love the show i watch every episode he also said he wants a pair of smartwatches that are linked together that one sport and ones dressed so that you can switch them out no matter what you're doing is just go James Bond is that what we're doing we've gotta persuade you yeah both um but okay all right so I thought that was a good email is that really um had a lot of good reasoning in it so well done if you guys want to send Oh actually we should do phone toggle for the day first okay all right our dear viewer and old friend not really this is no new friend parth wrote in and but now you're an old friend because we've been talking about you for an entire five seconds and said hi guys i really wanted to share this picture of one of my favorite cities in entire world the Big Apple pun intended i took this picture from my iphone 6 get it haha Big Apple iPhone 4 over spring break when i was there specifically to eat an awesome falafel it's a really interesting reason to go to New York City for one falafel hopefully I have showcased how beautiful the city actually is when you ignore the taxi drivers and cockroaches
