Tomorrow Daily - Free-roaming robot characters at Disneyland, powered by nightmare fuel, Ep. 189

2015-06-04
on today's show a former shoe factory is transformed into a magical playground for kids and adults also science grew a rat arm in a lab which is amazing and this new tech from Disney Studios is either made of wonderful dreams or horrific nightmares I guess we'll find out on tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome welcome to tomorrow's daily the best ski talk to the universe I am Ashley Scott that Jimmy's always quelle anonymous at least until fallout 4 comes out in which at that time call me yeah well likely just hire somebody else because you will literally be living in front of your computer for at least a month I have a theory that it is gonna look like rapture outside she's gonna look like last man on earth have you seen that you could find like will Forte's character in Boston oh that would take me out of it sorry no no good all right so we have some insane stories today so I don't want to waste any time let's have headlines okay so stuff of night stuff of dream stuff of nightmares stuff of a dream stuff of nightmare is kind of crazy so didn't he has this great idea great idea that they'd already they've already started working on scared by too much that they want to immerse you so much in your Park that they want the characters walking around the park no not costume characters but basically like robotic characters and they've already begun doing this as you can see and they're testing I don't I know they have three stages that they've been working on with this this whole testing okay three three phases so the first phase they have the digital the digital character and you know here that's how they got it move in whatever then they have the 3d printed legs and they're showing they're showing it okay this is how it's moving and then they actually try it out so we have all three stages here for you in this video it was released by by Disney they turn the comments off in the description well I can imagine why this is really scary but anyway they're 3d pertinent this is the this is the other robot legs trying to replicate that motion but looking like a drunk winnie-the-pooh can you imagine this looks like zombie winnie-the-pooh like longer eat you really cool rapper winnie-the-pooh cuz you know like yes like swag when he's walking really strange so but there you go there was a precedent for this uh they've actually done stuff like this before okay they had a dinosaur named Lucy that they had at I want to say it was it was at Disney World and it was at the Animal Kingdom and Lucy would walk around and she was attached to this cart oh right she was a walking talking Dino but it was all robotics there was nobody in the suit so they have stuff like that they also have Mickey now has a mouth that he can move and like facial gestures and he can like talk and voice through it so they're trying to bring that immersion even closer to people like I mean Disney does a really good job of this in the in the inside the rides like the animatronics in Pirates of the Caribbean for example they have Jack Sparrow and they're really lifelike renditions of giant ants yes pretty awesome yeah so to have that untethered walking around the park would first of all be so awesome but also that would be maybe the scariest thing I've ever seen yeah it's it's pretty incredible that they're doing it but again I haven't played Friday nights five nights at Freddy's but I know about it and I feel like that's very close to how it started so maybe not the five nights at Freddy's way maybe we don't go that way I really don't have never seen a costumed character and be like yeah wish there wasn't a person in there yeah wish that was a robot no I wish that was a robot no also I don't know if you saw The Simpsons where they go to itchy and scratchy land yeah that didn't end well remember it zoned in on them and was like and wanted to kill them Simpsons always do it first and they did that that is really buying what but yes okay so I'm being told that that brings us to our hashtag of the day it does yes wait yes it brings us to our hashtag of the day which is TV character what I want to say this is special hashtag of the day because it is a photo challenge oh listen photo you step it up alright and you need to pick an image that wordlessly describes how kids will react to this technology in a theme park okay just just one image you know words you don't get any towards let's let's not even say what we would pick no no no we're just that we're just gonna go to the next story what what face when kids make when seeing the character when experiencing this type of technology in the park if it was pot if it was polished not that terrifying like a big scaffolding so come back on Monday and we'll come back Monday you have all weekend to do your homework grab an image off the internet of a kid's face that you think is the best representation of their response to robot characters walking around speaking of terrifying uh yeah speaking of terrifying science grew a limb in a lab this is well they do that all the time though right not limbs so organs yes so we'll talk about the difference this is kind of this is actually no it's not even kind of this isn't straight up science fiction stuff that you might if you're squeamish don't watch this video your legs a little bit a little bit scary um so it's really fascinating though biomaterials published a proof of concept from Massachusetts General Hospital in which they grew a rat limb with working veins and muscle tissue whoa so science as I mention has been growing muscle and vein tissue for a while now with stem cells like you can grow them separately no problem but obviously growing an entire limb is much more difficult because it's a lot more complex and you have all these different structures in there like the muscles and veins like they're separate things so they took this technique that they have seen that we've seen used with lab-grown organs and they did what's called oh gosh I'm gonna forget the name of it but they they basically strip the limb of a deceased rat and they take off all of its cellular material so when you see it in this like when it's complete it's like all white you can't see anything that was there previously they literally strip it down of all its cellular material so you can see it's becoming wider and wider wider because all that's being stripped off all there's all that cellular material is being stripped so then while they're doing that they have another rat that's living that they're getting cells from in its arm okay and then they place the stripped cell limb into a container and they inject the cells from the other rat that they harvested into this into this limb and then after a couple weeks they pulled they pulled it out and they said that well after injecting vein muscle cells in two specific places on the limb we took it out of the container and we saw that the two types of cells were populating correctly so veins and muscles and they they hit it with electrodes like electrical current and they said it performed at 80 percent of what a newborn rat would do so like working like muscles 80 percent like what a standard newborn rat would be able to do which is pretty amazing so the next up would be the white transplanted onto a rat so the so the point of this would be yeah the next step would kind of be to see if they could get they have to continue to grow it because the thing is is it might not be ready yet for transplant it's really like growing like an ear in a lab like it takes time you got to figure out exactly like this is so so far away from clinical trials like or any kind of human testing but the idea is that bioengineered limbs even for animals would be a huge boon over robotic prosthetics or or transplants because you're using your own cellular material to grow a new limb or an organ and that that's actually one of the big tenants of like lab-grown organs is obviously you have a much lower chance of your body rejecting it because it's your own cells I don't have to take like potentially you won't have to take anti-rejection medication for the rest of your life which a lot of people do if they get transplanted yeah so um yeah this is pretty amazing I mean clinical trials obviously for humans like not even in the horizon at this point but how amazing is that it's pretty crazy pretty good I know and I think that rat would probably need like shoes right for sure yeah definitely maybe like a sleeve or something he needs shoes right shoes for for what so tell me about this shoe factory oh this shoe I try to help I try to help her move to the next story seamlessly and she's just like yeah shoes are like a glove you so we're generously trying to be like failing on this joke know what you wanted okay shoe factory so tell us about this shoe factory everybody we're all gonna take a trip to st. Louis because when you see this you're gonna you're literally gonna leave right away and you're gonna want to go take a trip there this is called city museum this used to be a shoe factory in st. Louis that has been transformed into a really cool urban playground you'll notice there are salvaged planes in there there are all kinds of crazy things inside here it is 600,000 square feet of fun it is hi that's that's and those are my words and it is constantly being improved and/or added to and the guy who originally thought of this project passed away a few years ago and they're still like working on this then constantly adding things to it it's got all kinds of stuff so I'm gonna give you a list of like all this different things that you can find and this is just a starter list like there's way more than this 600,000 square feet it's huge you can find repurpose airplanes for Jungle Jim's ten story slides like ten story not ten as a number but a 10-story high slide my god a school bus on the roof a cantilevered school bus on the roof caves fall pits aquariums circus arts equipment restaurants a bar and even a ferris wheel on top that Kayla and I will never ride because we are scared hey you can see there's a salvage plane right there tires salvaged construction cranes there's like this I mean it is it's insane like this is madness and it's all basically a huge recycling project they've taken all this stuff and that is salvaged and reconditioned and recycled and they have brought it in here and I want to go to there now and kill wants to go to there so bad that he did in fact leave so I never knew that this place existed but man I mean would it be really cool for all those major cities in the world to like make stuff like this I want this in Los Angeles and I think we should have an in every city which have these big urban playgrounds that we can recycle stuff with and everybody can go enjoy it so nice work st. Louis I'm gonna go take a quick break I got to go find kill before he hops on a plane to st. Louis so we'll be right back with into it because it's Thursday and of course our user feedback and your phone tahg refer of the day so don't click away it's tomorrow Kayle welcome back to the show I've captured kale he's got a ball ball chain prison thing on his ankle and he can't show you cause it's just too heavy to lift but it's Thursday which means now you're gonna have to tell us before you go to st. Louis to play at City Museum what you're into this is into it I have a feeling I know you're gonna say but please what are you into this week this week it's no surprise I'm into cheddar cheese no of course I'm gonna fall out for look at the announcement just happened we're gonna hear a lot more about what's what's what we're gonna see at e3 there's a lot of rumors going around that the game will be coming out this year there's look there's so many reactions to this there's been just shocked surprised there's been complaints already there's been yeah there's people like well the graphics or that great look first of all this is only what they're saying is this all in-game which most games when they show a trailer annex it's always cinematics this is in-game look at these look at this lighting that's specular lighting it's incredible it looks like a lot of fun there's I want to go to that city I'm really sure beautiful so this is takes place in Boston right in Boston so I'm gonna have a yeah oh my god but yeah so there's a lot of places like Fenway Park right Fenway Park's in the end the actual thing so you can go on like spine like the subreddit and you can find breakdowns of of what every location was but but but tread carefully because you never know what you're gonna do yeah don't find explores I do see a bobble head right there yeah you got a bobble head yeah there's there's a lot of stuff in here vault 111 I need to do my research but I don't think that's actually a vault that's been mentioned yet which is incredible because there's a lot of vault 101 anyway so we're really excited about that and I've been playing Fallout 3 on pretty much non-stop a lot of people when Kayla's not filming this show he is just playing fallout I'm just playing my life yeah connected to Michigan we're very much we're very much into games anyway so what's yours so game it's a game it's a video game no I set you up soon I said you don't appreciate it I really do it's splatoon I'm super into splatoon right now I just got my amiibo I just got my 3-pack my squid and my inkling girl and boy and I love how they work with the game it's so much fun I mean way more fun than even the demo like they had the the global test-fire and that was really cool but this to me was even better the full game is just so much fun there's all kinds of like upgrades you can buy clothes you can go into the little shops and buy like these like crazy outfits and hats and shoes and stuff that all have special abilities like more damage you take less damage you know and you can upgrade your clothes and then also they have a single-player mode that has all these like these stars like challenges where they take you through serve an obstacle course and then with the amiibo you have to go through them again but in a different way so like one of them is a time speedrun another one is with a certain and the other two are with certain types of weapons so it's so much fun I played a lot of non ranked play last night because I didn't want to jump into the ranked games I know producer Logan gets really frustrated at the fact that you only have two maps at a time that rotate for three hours in each mode so it's like you can only play one of two maps for three hours at a time but then like right at 11 o'clock last night we got a message from the thing it kicks you everybody back out into the lobby and they're like it's like a little news program with these two really hip cool squids oh really yeah and they're like hey guys it's time to talk about like what's up next like an a like sit there and they say like oh well it's this map and this map and what's your strategy and everyone's like I don't know like when like that's the strategy I guess like so it's really fun it's really cleverly done and honestly one of the better shooters that I've played on console and awhile question okay with the Wii U there's not really a means of communication No so I've found that with shooters and our strategies like that it helps to communicate so how do you get over that barrier so one of the things that really helps is with the gamepad you can see all of your teammates on a map you can kind of see what's going on because there's a live representation of in the non ranked play it's all it's all based on how much ink you can you can spread so you can sort of see where the hot spots are and what's happening and then if they're getting killed there's also abilities where you can see other members of the enemy team all at same time right a mini-map yeah well there's like special abilities where on your main screen you can see them like where everybody is okay so I think that they work really hard on making it accessible I do think that I'd like for last night I was talking with friend of the show Mike Hobbs we were playing together and in the same rooms but and sometimes we would not get matched on the same team sometimes we're on opposite teams so we would just be talking on the phone I'm like I was just play like FaceTime audio and then we would just talk about you found a way around yeah I kind of find a way around it so I moved in you don't need teamspeak or chat or group you know any kind of group chat it's honestly like it's really fun it's easy to pick up and play I like I'm really enjoying it and kudos to Nintendo for creating a new IP that I was really skeptical about last year when they announced it I was just like squid children really a Nintendo and then now I'm just I'm such a I'm a convert I'm a believer I love splatoon it's so much fun I can't wait to see what they do with more of it later down the road with DLC alright so yeah splatoon splitting it up um you want to talk about user feedback yes okay alright guys so we asked you to use the hashtag TV play time to tell us how you would want to integrate play nation which is Disney's new set of toys they have this sort of interactive oh yeah what games and what franchises would you want to see utilize this type of stuff Rick Rhoden instead of Batman or Sherlock Holmes detective game with basic AR goggles and haptic feedback gloves to find clues oh no you like that young Batman I like that he's like Batman isn't like the detective Batman not the not thee give me weapons so I can go fight people all the time right detective mark wrote in and said I'd really want time crisis around my house so that I wouldn't have to waste so much money on the arcade machine version reload also he says also my juice box of choice is Apple and black currant so you asked what did you Spock some choice would oh yeah that's right I forgot about that I'm out what do you say Apple and blackcurrant yeah Wow hashtag fight me it's kind of classy it is very close all right so hi hi probe ah uh Neil wrote and said kids should not need technology like this especially when their imagination should be doing all the work so he's like no kids gotta do their own heavy lifting Neil you have a baby on the way that you're gonna that kid is not gonna get any fun toys you're gonna make it use its imagination know that he has a baby although he sent us that picture I was a phone tiger for the day oh I remember everything about everybody I waste all of my mental energies and storage space the hard drive in here is just filled with trivia about all of you it's literally the case and then Adam wrote in and said I would like to like counter-strike with VR oh my god I'd be amazing oh my god this is for just having the frustration of being bad at counter-strike in VR it's not something I want to think about Dustin wrote in on the same on that same sort of page Call of Duty would be awesome imagine being able to use real-world locations as game maps it would be fun and exercise also know also I don't want to be bad Call of Duty wait he wants to use the Omni no no he just said use it outside in real-world locations as a game map oh my god diving everywhere you're gonna really love this so Dave rodent and he said I was listening you damn kids whining about how today's toys are far ahead of the toys that were around back in your day well back when I was a young whippersnapper here's what we had for robots it's just part of the yeah Rock'em Sock'em an interactive game we played and we have to do all this while walking uphill through several feet of snow now get off of my lawn Dave apps then hashtag grumpy old man hey Dave Dave Dave Dave Dave thanks Dave bowing to you all right that was amazing you're the real MVP what are you real MVP do you imagine that
