Tomorrow Daily - HoloLens is headed to the International Space Station, Ep. 199

2015-06-25
on today's show you can get your notifications from a soap bubble you can step into a booth and find out the weather somewhere else in the world and astronauts are getting hollow lens before even we get them so good for them jerks it's tmrw daily greetings citizen to the citizens and what's wrong with me greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily I'm Ashley sceva this is kellen onymous you're watching this peak talk show in the known universe except for grammar because obviously I can't speak they didn't say it was the best grammar show in the universe that's very true I do not make I will never claim that Dad ain't no truth at all none so anyway without without that stupid intro here are your headlines alright so hollow lens isn't accessible to anyone really yet no except for astronauts because NASA is working with Microsoft to create a like an app and experience for astronauts now this is to help them kind of work out some problems if there's problems up in this space station okay so they'll be able to assist them both of them wearing hollow lenses this is called sidekick and it's going to provide virtual aid to astronauts working off of Earth know what you're going to be watching right now is them testing out this hollow lens in a weightless environment this is the wait list wonder c9 jet we're testing out the equipment to see if it works on this wait list in this weightless place with no idea exactly what they're looking at they look like maniac what are they looking at but you know they've again they said it's it's to help them you know it's an alien fighting simulation program which you can play on the ground they're just playing halo anyway so this is actually going up very very soon in a June twenty-eighth spacex is going to take it as part of a resupply up to the two up to the space station now their goal is to reduce crew training requirements oh boy and increase the efficiency at which astronauts can work in space so you can go up there and and maybe if you don't have all the experience you they'll help you out so there's two modes is so this is all we know as far as how it works and what's going on inside the headset for the astronauts two modes remote experiment mode which is a skype so they can share the experience they can see what the astronauts are seeing and be able to help them out that way and there's also procedure mode which we've seen the kind of a look at inside of the demo the first hollow lens demo in which what they're looking at it projects like a visual so that if the astronauts looking at like a piece of the ship it'll point an arrow to the ship and like highlight it and show them how to unscrew us up like that so it's basically holding their hand for these astronauts who should probably learn how to do it but you've got a lot more people on ground ok but i'm not i'm not saying astronauts aren't qualified it's it's a good safety precaution if we've if you think about if apollo 13 had that you know maybe there might have been something worked out resolutions but ya allah many more minds on the ground helping the few people that get sent up to space is is really good now there's tons more planned with this hollow lens nasa sidekick sort of thing they plan on sending it on other missions you can check out their post about it there's a tweet about it but spacex is involved so that's pretty neat hololens microsoft roslyn spacex I'm yeah I have I have to say like in the last month hololens has partnered up with some very unsuspecting companies like I did not expect them to partner with oculus that was like a big thing I think that we were all kind of surprised about and then now it's like oh hey I'm by the way we're sending them up to the astronauts of the space station no big deal whatever like insanity I love it but it's crazy yeah it's gonna be interesting to see the practicality because Logan and I tried it on and we weren't blown away but maybe you know there's just enough there to like get the job done for the astronauts uh it's crazy also they were using wireless headsets too so that's that's also good but tethered yeah it's very good um well you mentioned like the field of view being really small what's that small oh wow that is very doesn't look we're done that great yeah it's otay it up Logan's k let's get up kales camera Logan it's about that small that's very small to kind of like look through it but yeah so there you go hopefully that'll work yeah awesome yeah they're gonna send they're gonna send to up very soon on jun 28th and SpaceX this weekend a couple more sweet yeah so they go I'm gonna snow away when I go up to space just for all of them listen take it how if I had hollow lens on they could help me be an astronaut right away that'll be great ok I want to tell you about this climate booth this is really weird but also one of those things that I would imagine in like the Jetsons like a thing that you would see in the Jetsons so uh if you've ever been we're from Southern California and there were times where I'm going somewhere and people go it's really cold and you're like oh it's really cold okay it must be like 60 degrees because that's really cold in Southern California and then it's like freezing and you don't really have an idea of what that feels like until you're in it and then you're like oh boy I packed really wrong or I did not wear the right jacket off the plane this is called climate portal this is awesome it's at the Arlanda Airport in Stockholm Sweden they have installed these weather pods for people to step into and they can feel the actual climate of the place they're about to go to so they'll know exactly what it feels like when they walk outside I'm gonna get off the plane at their destination so it's not a little late well it it works in this way which is if you're not sure if maybe you should have a jacket or maybe if you need sunglasses or ever like for when you get off the plane like you can take all that out and just do that and you won't have to worry about you know figuring it all out once gets the airport um they don't just heat up and cool down there like here's the interesting thing they actually use heat AC missed fans and audio-visual installations inside to like really give you a sense of what the weather is like so I would imagine that it would be kind of not an intense experience but I mean if it's like raining or to feel a little mist like so you'll know like oh it's gonna be a little bit damp like I mean it's cold oh no this is like really cold in here I'm going to need I gonna need a bigger jacket or whatever I just think this is awesome like I think it would what a weird cool little bit of technology that's sort of not doing anything to change the world but it certainly is like changing the way that we travel like it's that's a thing that like I think everybody would want to try if it was at their local airport they'd be like oh I just want to go in there just see even if you're just going on like San Francisco your psyche loads I just seems like music walk in there I really like the technology I still think it's too late but you're already at their port you've already packed and you already have your jacket they do however have like places you can test out your jacket at like sports stores so you like you're like god is this gonna be is this gonna keep you warm enough to go into this little basically refrigerator and try on your jacket you're like yeah I feel warm I'll take one jacket please sir and then you leave that's pretty cool but yeah I'm this is it's maybe yeah just sponsored by somebody or is it just the airport think so it'll be up until like the end of august i think they were saying they were just doing it for like for now but I have a feeling like maybe if a lot of people people respond to it and people really like it they'll probably keep it I would I totally see somebody dying in there how would me somebody yeah somebody's gonna somebody's gonna be like Oh Sarah Bing Bing Bing Bing Bing make an R goes in there it doesn't realize is it bad or he has died from heatstroke he's trying to find some more movie waiting to happen it really is yeah so they'll be available to the end of august but you have to put a sweetener dried out RTD it is that's our hashtag the day it is TD climate it is what will feature would you add to the booth to make it more interactive like what's the thing that this booth is missing you're watching tomorrow daily so my answer would be it would change it to different planets so the atmosphere on different planets unfortunately you die if you tried it once was I decision out of there I'd be like Mars but that would be mine so don't try that out okay what's yours I would say I like I would add a man in reality glasses this I would drop in a hollow lens and then that way you can sort of see what's going what what its gonna look like and you can feel what's the only thing the same time can really immerse yourself that's just out of hololens just at hollow lens that's a trademark just that hollow looking better just at home when super disappointed the bird is a point um okay and then lastly I just said this is really fun and it's super dumb but I but it brought me joy and that's actually the point of it to bring joy uh this is called know to fly and it they don't have like a full video because it's pretty simple it's pretty simple idea regular notifications so 2014 so there's this calendar app called pop up and it syncs with this thing called no to fly pop ups the point of this app this scheduling app is to give you opportunities to appreciate the joy in your schedule so for example if you're like seeing an old friend or if you're sick you're saying goodbye then wherever oh you're gonna see this person like wow joyful detour like your dinner is you know here's your friends you can go in just a few footsteps you're going to dinner at this place there's this other place this great view whatever so that's what it gives you ideas like things to do like within your schedule then the constraints to bring joy into your life so uh kind of awesome but no to fly pairs with this and look and we have that gift it's an animated gif they put it up on their site yeah here it is so when you get a notification for your calendar if like a meeting or whatever it blows a soap bubble on your you put it on your desk and then you just like pop it and then you go to your meeting when you have a meeting at buzz bubble yeah when you get a little notification like those little bubbles here it's like it's like a pleasant notification like I know that sometimes I get really stressed out when I have notification on my phone or my iPad and I'm just like Oh what now we're in a great text I fit well then you'd want to shut that off that maybe you shut that feature off otherwise your whole room will be filled this is really awesome it's so cool like there's an edible bubbles by the way so they should totally make it the edible bubbles really little bubblegum flavored bubbles and they just pop up my using hacks are you that's really cool how much is it uh okay so they're not selling them yet but this is part of a project called redesigns and this project this series has a goal of turning this isn't these are not my words Monday's into Monday's they're trying to like revolutionize kind of if you're out your daily office experience I know you just got really mad but they're trying to make people's days a little more joyful and that was one of the things they came up changing the word to meunier does it make monday any more fun no but that mean that's just the concept of sad they're not changing the word but they're like that's the serve the idea behind it anyway no to fly I thought really cool and I kind of want one from being honest I got a long one but on that note we're going to take a quick break before we go though we have to show you this video of all the fancy Cena and games by editors telling you what they're playing right now I'm sure a lot of them are playing batman arkham knight no they're not if they have a pc yeah that that might be true so so check out play this and we'll be right back I have been playing a life is strange i just finished the third episode and it is well worth the play because it's got an epic narrative that is just getting more complicated and exciting i've been playing a crapload of split spoon and splatoon is one of the greatest games i've ever played it what's up i'm playing project cars on the pc on this sweet thrustmaster steering wheel but what I'm really playing at home is a Tokyo jungle on the PlayStation 4 via PlayStation now they're weird playstation 3 streaming service which costs 1999 a month I'm playing a game called I am bread and it's actually a pretty amazing game it's a lot of fun it's the most fun I've ever had playing a bread video game it's based off the butterfly effect principle where the littlest actions can change a huge number of things and it's got fascinating game mechanics and it is a really cool play so it's a shooter except everything's colorful and tilly uplifting to play and the best thing about it like magically last three minutes so it's got that Morris factor so yes squids and kids there's quite a lot of money to basically be a Pomeranian in Tokyo but personally I think it's worth it i'm reading it out the question that all of us have to answer for ourselves in the object is you have to move this slice of bread through a level and get it to the toaster so the bread become toast that sounds crazy when I say it out loud but it's actually a lot of fun go check it out welcome back welcome back to the show I mean you're playing batman arkham knight right now I'm playing splatoon as well so that's that's we're playing um you know it's Thursday which means we have to talk about what we like stuff we like which means it's time for into it alright so i'll let you please you go first i was like hearing what you what you're into because we have such different lives i'm in gold mining this week and there's gold inhales I've been out panting forgot no I'm into batman arkham knight well i guess it should be over it cuz i just finished it oh you finished it i finished it before i came in while I finish out like an hour or so before he came in except for it I haven't done there's like a like it like a second ending and I haven't done that which which I'm gonna do it's it's called like oh we have to initiate projects something okay I got a hundred percent ending is that it no no no it's not even that it's just like a second ending it's like once you beat the mission they're still kind of like a like finish everything off type thing without being a hundred percent but ya know by the way if you can't play it on PC just wait cuz it is worth the wait it's really it's one of the best games the years solid storytelling again fun gameplay from beginning to end the tank battles suck stop that I wish they'd stop shoving the Batmobile down your throat there's a it's like really fun to drive but they make you fight these tanks are showing it right now too many times the voice acting is great the characters are fun again it's it's a new and old story from Batman like they put them through the ringer it's fantastic i love it it's definitely worth all the praise that's been getting online aside from the pc complaints i was able to go in and mod something so i got 60 frames per second so it's allz good there but it's great I know that I know that anybody that's on the fence whether or not to get it just get it it's it's just a fun just as fun if not more fun than the previous Batman iteration all know I fly like that I love that it's so good I'm gonna go I'm not going two hundred percent it because I'm not that guy and I could collect all the Riddler trophies screw that how can I have too many things to do but I am gonna get to the whatever the second part is the second the second ending man it was so good I'm so good I'm excited because I'm gonna pick it up at some point in the next like couple weeks and I'm like I'm now after hearing you like your this ridiculous enthusiasm for it I'm like really excited I couldn't figure out when do I wanted to stop playing it was always like oh there's always something left to dukale I'm like yeah okay Batman's wit okay back alright so that's what I'm into / / i'll probably finish it tonight okay so there you go I like it um so I'm into a show that is not for children I'm in a veep I got I got really into veep Oh last week okay so I have to explain because i love good comedy like I love good comedy and I i had heard really good things about this show and finally a friend of mine like pushed me over the edge it was like literally put this at the top of your cue do not wait like watch beep and I was like okay they say just watch like two episodes and sure enough I watched the first two episodes and I just hooked there is never an episode in which I have not laughed out loud at at least one of the jokes like there I think I read something somewhere where it was uh it's either thee like the top number one series with the most jokes per minute something like that like what the writing is insanely good and there are so many like just asides and it's so fast and funny and like it's just hilarious and the guy oh god Tony Hale who plays her servant Gary uh her like bagman Gary he played Buster Bluth interested development and he is just as funny if not way funnier as this character than he was as Buster Bluth like it is so so funny the guy who plays Jonah's great this is sue her receptionist it is a hilarious show I highly recommend it if you are an adult because it is an adult series with adult jokes but it's a it's fantastic I absolutely love it it's so so funny so so petty like all the small like it's they make kind of like this really big government job seem like they're it's full of all these little weird petty like arguments and stuff between people and I'm sure a lot of it is like that but it's really entertaining so so funny and Julia Louie Dreyfus is just she's brilliant she's absolutely brilliant love her and Seinfeld love her and everything she does and she just continues that streak here she's fantastic that's on HBO right yeah that's on HBO and so now she told you get HBO now for 15 bucks a month if you don't have cable you can just get it and stream it but it's so it's so so so funny um we're in the middle of season two and Gary coals in it now and like he is intense and hilarious time like the story lines are insane and they're so great it's really good anyway I very similar enthusiasm for veep um except we don't get to punch super villains in the face that is true and that's why I'll be buying Batman um because i would like to also punch super villains in the face okay guys we got to talk about you it's time for user feedback okay ask you guys use the hashtag TD hover tell us what alternate modes of futuristic transportation you'd prefer over you know everything that we talked about yesterday so land slug wrote in and said I'm too old for a hoverboard anyway hover Segway would be nice though Oh hover say wait over segue for paul blart mall cop 3 in space on the moon whoa no no no we gotta just go for it just a Radisson he's Radisson and just act like just pretend like there's nothing special about it innovation required wrote in and said jet packs for small distance and wormholes for long distance because no killing and rebuilding were involved it's a good workaround mart man yeah that's it that's a hack I think that's it as a wormhole hat wormhole scare me about I would be so scared Thiago wrote and said hyperspace transportation of course i know i don't disagree with that I'm gonna be honest Lewis wrote in and said time travel for definite dude where's my TARDIS I like that time travel yeah travel time travel and then James wrote an email and said how about a personal hover system using four bands to orient the field one on each wrist and each ankle using the energy produced by your body to power the four bands would hyperx seller ate the air molecules around you thus lifting you off the ground using various sensors such as gyroscopes and accelerometers you'd be able to navigate your direction or travel it would only have to elevate your body a few inches off the ground depending on the terrain for paved or relatively smooth surfaces one to two inches for more uneven surfaces dirt gravel or fairly rocky 326 using nanotechnology these bands be relatively small they would fit comfortably under your clothes being no larger than most wearable tech news today that was a lot of thought and I have to say like I'm impressed because I would love a system like that if I could just like boot up some wristbands and ankle bands and like just float around that would be awesome are you ready for this kind of system that's what I needed I want to be destroyed every single time I want to go someplace I got a Chipotle dezod kilt dissolves and then gets built leg up into polio like wha barbacoa please and back at home oh sweet Oh amazing um but yeah so that's what you guys wrote in 14 e hover um and now it is time for a very last piece of user feedback which is always our phone tog refer the day our photographer the day today is Mike simple sense i hate TD not part of your typical demographic but i love you guys in your show watch it daily this is from on my way home from downtown DC caught this image just for kick-ass storm hit the area i thought it was amazing considering i took this with an iphone 5s hope you like it as much as my facebook friends keep up the great work Mike PS I'm 56 geekdom knows no age is that why he said not part of our normal Democrat yeah cuz I would imagine most people most adults would guess that are at 66 year old children it's usually in the 60s yeah on the 60s are the only people to watch this show that's because they can't get away from their screens fast enough my grandma's like in her 70s so she can't watch this show no it's much too it's too young we have a very narrow demographic 60 to 69 years old that's I'm not even old enough to watch this show me neither that I like that it looks kind of like dystopia it's like all that height like super hyper color but also like the yellows are kind of sickly so it looks like they it was trying to be like a futuristic thing but mad max L train and then in the back like the sky is all red so it looks like it's been soiled like the planets been soiled it's cool I like
