welcome citizens of the Internet to tomorrow daily the best eat talk show in the known universe I'm your new co-host jeff cannata i will be doing these small episodes with ashley and then the two of us will combine forces like a Voltron on thursdays for a longer show the first one of those next Thursday not this thursday so stay tuned for that but right now let's get to the headlines mi t's tangible media group is at it again and this time they have living bio skin integrated into clothing it's called bio/logic and it's a combination of regular clothing and special nano actuators that can detect things like humidity and change their shape in a nutshell that means highly responsive events for clothing so how do these nano actuators work by growing natto cells and printing the bacteria with a special 3d printer on to thin fabric creating a panel that can change its shape based on humidity either in the atmosphere or through the skin mit created a lot of custom things for this project a custom 3d printer creates the hybrid biofilm and custom software helps design the garment and the biofilm shapes before it's fabricated the team says the nano actuators can also be controlled via electronic signals and they even showed off the potential of a color-changing version of the film while you might not see these in a retail store anytime soon it's pretty exciting to think that someday we will grow sensors and actuators in a lab instead of manufacturing them okay our next story is about Google's Project loon are you ready for internet via balloon if you're watching this show you probably don't need the help of Project loon which is Google's initiative aiming to offer internet access to more remote places on earth but there are a lot of places where internet isn't regularly available and Google wants to launch high-altitude balloons to help accomplish their goal we've talked about Project loon before but late last week google announced it was partnering with three mobile networks in indonesia to provide service to the country only one in three people are online there who making it a perfect location to continue testing the program they worked like mobile hotspots in locations where service towers and structure is lacking or non-existent so connecting via inexpensive smartphones becomes an option for just about anybody the project loon team has already completed testing all over the world in places like New Zealand New Mexico and Chile project loon is going to be launching over 300 more balloons in the coming year that's a lot of sky internet our next story is about 3d printing you can 3d print a lot of stuff but you couldn't 3d print hair until now and when I said hair of course I meant plastic hair a team at carnegie mellon university's human-computer interaction institute has a fun way to create plastic strands of hair through 3d printing if you think about how a blob of hot glue makes a tiny strand when you pull the glue gun away that's pretty much how this process works adding a specific set of parameters to a 3d printer makes it possible and the team mentions that there's no special hardware required all you need is patience a tiny 10 square millimeter patch of hair took about 30 minutes to create so you're not going to be whipping up wigs in a day but what's the process cures the finished product can be braided brushed curled or even trimmed and fitted into tiny paintbrushes I still in its early stages now but if 3d printing hair makes for better toys I am in all right that's it for headlines let's get to some crowdfunding today we're looking at all n fits a wearable personal trainer that thinks it can help you out at the gym all in fit is actually comprised of three separate sensors and a smartphone app when you head to the gym you move the sensors around depending on what exercise you're performing and all in fit tracks your form and the weight lifted as you work out you'll see a real time readout with a grade on your form and how much weight you're lifting bad form the sensors will vibrate to show you the problem areas in your reps and live audio feedback will explain what you're doing wrong you'll get comments in the app and suggestions on how you can improve and the app also includes pre-designed programs for different fitness goals 199 dollars get you all in fits Kickstarter special which includes one set of sensors bands and the app with a may 2016 estimated delivery they're looking to raise just over 45,000 bucks and so far they have just under twenty five thousand of that with about 16 days left in the campaign the hardest thing about working out in a gym is maintaining your form and and dealing with people so it looks like all in fit handles both of those with robotic form enhancement all right now let's get to your awesome pictures today's phone tog refer of the day is Neil he sent in this picture that he took with his iphone 5 baby tomorrow daily my name is Neil and I'm 11 years old this is a photo of the Chicago skyline taking from millenium park on my iphone 5 not 5s I give you guys permission to use this photo on your show you guys are definitely the best talk show in this universe thanks Neil I appreciate that i'm gonna go ahead and take all the credit it's my first day but i feel like i've had a big impact already hey if you want to see your picture on the show send it to us tomorrow at cnet com is where you do that we love to find out what device you took it on and be sure to give us permission to use it as well you can always follow us on twitter at tomorrow daily you can follow us personally as well i'm at jeff cannata or at ashley Esqueda or at logan boy hey thanks for watching I appreciate it and Ashley tell you
