Tomorrow Daily - CES 2015: Technobuffalo's Jon Rettinger talks connected cars on Tomorrow Daily

2015-01-08
on today's show it's our last day at CES 2015 and we've got two more favorites to tell you about new virtual reality tech that actually lets you run into battle or run away from battle if your main and LG has a flexible television that goes from flat to curved and it is looking real good just like us oh yes tomorrow daily the Internet's welcome I know hi back Peter blurry back they're not paying attention to us welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm your host Ashley together join me as always the man the myth the legend the the VR enthusiast I'm still kicking add a story we're still we're still excited Kayla not enough chaos it going me it's good oh my voice will be gone by tomorrow so this will be the last show that we do here rental words any fun way um a better sponsors yeah we should talk about so our LG was crying out there sponsored the show this week they were kind enough to let us borrow the LG G flex and kills been carrying it around and you you were telling you a very interesting feature do that but ya know uh it's it's incredibly durable it's self-healing they're saying you so you can kind of like if you put it in your pocket with like your keys and stuff like that it won't get all scratched up like a bad see and also I know that it can like yeah you can hold on watch camera follow me follow down falling down to the table smack squishing oh you can you can literally squish it yeah do CPR on it and it's fine breathe yo breathe oh no it's really cool so thank u del G are you can check out we have some we have a first look for it over on cnet and you you can enjoy that and learn all about the LG G flex and thanks again to LG our sponsor for this week really appreciate ya thank you hit it I got to carry around a g3 which was also very cool but enough of that we have some fantastic tech to talk to you about so we're gonna hit the headlines uh so again day 3 for us out on the show floor for me the one thing that I saw that I thought was kind of cool and also looked a little bit like Geordi LaForge from Star Trek okay is the avegant glyph the otha gan glyph I like so we have some video of this check this out so it looks like a pair of headphones right right but it's actually you can watch movies with it it's got women there's your eye pieces just like those viewfinders you had when you were a kid yeah it's like that right so that's the that's the working prototype but the actual ring it wrong I know it it's like it just looks like you put your headphones on weird but it's really cool cuz you can plug it into any hdmi and I really really like that it's really really neat you can you can do all cut you can watch it with anything that has hdmi out so and even like iphone so if you have the adapter you can just plug it right into the heads it's pretty cool you're not really annoying real real life that's pretty cool I want to see annoying real life as we say so what are what have you seen around the show floor that has been so interesting to you going with my sort of like party thing that I've had every single one I had the pong beer pong pong robot I picked the Pico brew which is a beer but like a home brewing beer automated system where it's busy just put all stuff in there and you should a button and it like bruise you up some beer and you can work here named it yourself yet you are now your own beer brewer and it's it's it's very it's very simple they're saying just toss a bunch of stuff in there it comes with a little keg and you put in the water you put in it you know every all those little ingredients and then hit brew and then you go you know not party and then you come back and your party it's uh it's two thousand dollars which is which is pretty steep and I should start a business right yeah or something your own micro brewery but it was a Kickstarter project which is always it's always it's always you know it has a little bit more heart your starter project and it's apparently the Kickstarter that will do is the second-most funded food Kickstarter so there you go Congrats ekobrew you don't have time for that you also told me that we're aside from our second story uh you also kind of like have been able to see the show floor a lot more than I have yeah so um you told me about we're big virtual reality family on Tamar daily we love our chorizo you got to check out a product that I think it has a lot of potential yep I would you know virtual reality you know is getting better and better in the headset but how can we get more involved with it yeah well why don't why don't I have someone who's the only person that's better at video games than me me let's check it out yeah thanks me now look virtual reality is a big thing this year but how do we step it up well by actually taking steps in virtual reality so did check this out this is the omni and believe it or not it makes it so you can walk in virtual in a virtual reality space using any of the virtual reality headsets that come out let's let's see how this thing works you ready so now because I'm a pro MLG player I'm not going to miss any shots all right here we go come on wall I don't think so maybe their head I don't think so oh yeah headshot headshot got it got it got it easy so as you can see you're actually walking you're not like you're not going to sit on the couch I mean like the we promised a lot but this is a this is actually getting up as you can see never missing a shot the Omni is using these track pads of the trackpad there's trackers on this shoe here that are tracking your movement and then there's little on the bottom here it makes it so you can kind of glide along the bottom of the Omni so there you go as simple as that and of course the harness the harness is just here to hold you in place you don't run all over your living room and step on the cat and stuff like that one of the things that I was really impressed with with is of course you're like you know you're running around you're going to get a workout yeah you are there they're saying that if you play for an hour you burn about 400 calories it's incredible cuz I that's that's more than I work out in a day and a week and like a year and last year too oh there's me running oh my god hurry so you they said you can walk run and you can even sit and you can use this with any game that has a gamepad with their virtual reality on it so it's pretty much any game so there you go that's the Omni by virtue x it's uh it's pretty amazing again like I said 499 if you buy it now so anyway I gotta hurry back to the booth so that guy is going places I think I should hire him to host the show oh I think it's good all right no but what they were telling you them the most interesting thing was you know a lot of you know indie game devs or whatever are taking games that we already have team fortress 2 call of duty and putting them in the virtual reality headset in certain ways they were telling me at the booth they're playing team fortress 2 with the omni and like you know as the pyro doing spins and doing like pirate like a spy checks and stuff like that it was great I wish a lot like to purchase too well we'll ask them later maybe ask after the after the show floor closes we can sneak in and can ask me all play doh ok but it's pretty cheap it seems pretty cheap not bad I thought it would be a lot more expensive for a big it is I didn't know that the gun doesn't come with it oh okay well that's fine well I use my old NES gun yeah weird I ok so we have to tell you guys about this really awesome TV that I saw down on the show floor I went and hung out over an LG and I'm really skeptical of curved televisions like I don't know I don't know like a daisy seem kind of gimmicky to me I seem like the 3d of but then later I am kind of a hater on curved TVs I'll be honest so but I saw LG 77 inch curved to flat television it's actually flexible it moves so we have some b-roll of this check this out it act like it's going from her to flag it's gonna break it is the weirdest thing to see in person if you haven't seen on a highly recommend you go buy the LG booth and watch this thing in action it it is so cool and honestly it's just one of those weird candy things about technology where it has zero purpose whatsoever besides maybe like you have some extra people who need better viewing angles in your house you gotta go flat but man it just looks really cool and I just wanted for bragging rights and if you can't make up your mind if you want to flat or a curved switch back and forth you got the best of gold work I've got both anyway yeah yeah of course of court and then we get on our yacht and drink eyeballs and sail away into the end of the sunset on that note sailing away into the sunset we're going to take a quick break we'll be right back with techno buffalos jon rettinger and we're going to be talking about cars and a little bit of kid tech and then of course your user feedback so don't click away tomorrow daily max is tomorrow daily once again the best geek talk show in the known universe we are here we have a guest somebody that aren't very familiar with John render TechnoBuffalo calm one of my favorite tech websites besides cnet we have to pay for that kind of endorsement well like check i hope i get my chat soon checks in the mail um so you're here with us um how was your show bin so far show has been incredible busy it's like a it's a complete blur for everybody here but it's been fun it's cool to see the new trends in cccs change kind of year-over-year every year it's something new and it gets bigger that's the crazy thing new things come in I mean cars replace what Microsoft used to be here you know 57 years ago and new trends are are coming new technologies and the 3d printing food yeah we talked about that yesterday 3d bringing the food we love tech West that's all the weird stuff that makes us happy so okay we wanted to talk about we I know you love cars a little bit of a car guy John's Laveau car got so um you have seen some really cool connected cars at this year's show starting with the Mercedes concept car ridiculous so if you guys didn't get a chance to see it the only head of here for one day went back on day tunes excited to see it and the car just driven off so this thing looks like if you could draw it it'd be an oval with just wheels at the bottom of it it's part of their vision for 20 30 which is coming up not that far away it's coming up yeah yeah yeah so first totally autonomous but not the type of autonomous where it'll like you know stop you in traffic and you still have to drive the kind where the seats actually swivel 360 degrees you can sit and talk to the person behind you well the car is going take you right like now six screens all around you actually the screens projecting cameras from outside so it looks like there's no nothing there which is weird I would really weird me out i think but also it when I saw it I thought to myself it looks like one of those luxury yachts but on wheels and I feel like I feel like kale and I and you just need one like and it also i heard it drove itself away yeah which is just like i got by CES and it just drove off connected cars really ask you guys so let's say Kenta cards coming out on the road you see one or an autonomous car rather and you see it and you know that car's autonomous are you gonna maybe just break a little bit in front of it and see what happens like it start the car wheelies you're gonna test a car out on the road I mean I would hope that you would do that like in a test track wouldn't that be doing a public service by figuring that out trying to make somebody crash yeah yeah using the bear whereas I would move completed I see it coming and I move out of the way maybe pull over dropping all the way off of the freeway I'm slathering my hand in hunting is offering it like please bear come bring it up that seems risky um okay so and then the other car that you mentioned that was of interest was the VW Golf touch so tell us a little bit about that cuz I didn't get to see this okay so it looks like a regular motor trend car of the year winning VW Golf except totally controlled by touch and gestures and voice as well so everything where there'd be an analog knob or even something digital like a touch controller like you see in Cadillacs cue it is a hundred percent touch and gestures in your voice remember when we tried to set up the new kinect for xbox wanted yes I mean what could possibly go wrong we're talking your car so cool thing it yet what's that you wanted to speed on she wanted to speak you want to crash through the barrier great let's do that like this about that feature sorry I can't do that David it's just like crashes right through it's like the touch panels are need control things like your air conditioning and stuff but if you want to roll down your windows I mean you make this gesture you want to pull back your sunroof you kind of push back wait you actually have to make this just we're going back to doing this now alright fair enough he went like this so the idea is that you can keep your eyes forward and not having a look for strike points to change a radio station or anything like that and also hope is probably know the passenger in the car like says to me you're looking yeah cranking your crank in your car at the other side it's like you turn on some music well I guess you do this get a dance party going what am i doing like well how ridiculous is everyone gonna look when we're in these cars and you're like okay so I've been my convertible I got rolled down the windows and put the top back in your like this like it looks like the current everyone's like what's with the crazy person inside that convertible it was like when people first got Bluetooth headsets you couldn't tell they're just crazy or talking to somebody you know so and then also you're a a relatively new dad I am a real na proud proud new dad very adorable baby don't congrats yo give it up for a gear up for Nate man give up for babies babies all right he's kept this kid alive for over a year so that's what I give her credit despite my best efforts very good um so you were talking to me about a product that you felt was actually really underserved and under covered here at the show and there are a lot of parents out there that watch not necessarily tomorrow daily I don't know I don't know I don't know who our main demographic is guys I'm not really sure yet dad's um but you mentioned something that I thought was really fascinating which is kid case so Kip case is it's like parental controls full parental controls for for the ipad mini it's launching with a lot of stuff feel like the oled tvs and connected cars get all the top stories there's a lot of really cool tech that sort of flies under the radar so what this does I have older nieces and nephews you put this thing on your iPad Mini and you can control how long the kid is using it for it's like listen you did your homework you get an hour and a half of iPad time then it shuts down shuts off they've worked with Apple to make sure it's completely compatible its license it will shut off you can reward your kid with more time let's say you know they want to help make dinner clean up the kitchen get another 45 minutes on the iPad interesting and is it controlled by like your app like oh maybe on your phone or how do you control it control it through the iPad interest and they're working on a suite of apps that'll automatically integrate as well so learning apps if you do you know seemingly like games that are rot your brain you only get ten minutes get a half hour if you do educational side it'll unlock it'll unlock more time which is really really kind of cool it should be watching somewhere in q2 q3 ish and then for the ipad air line a little I saw that I was like this is useful this is something I think every parent can relate to and he put him in front of a TV or tablet in the job and she just goes and also you know it be used her fool me for me when we started doing the show and like kills on his iPad and then I'm like Kelly only get 10 more minutes we got to shut this down we got to get a show going here and I hate this tag I don't like I don't like those on stage well um thank you so much we're gonna we're gonna keep going into our user feedback but tell everybody before we get into that how we can find detector Buffalo and you on

hashtag TD WTF to tell us what their favorite kind of really weird stuff was around CES cuz there's a lot of it that was a missed that was a mistake I think it was great because right Pavel Pavel told
