on today's show Mercedes tiny little car that turns into a tiny little train and Microsoft creates some crazy augmented reality painting you go girl lastly two giant robots that already exist might get in the greatest fight ever to exist robot fights tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show in the universe I'm Ashley scavenge enemies always kill anonymous who loved Terminator Genisys last night and by love day I don't mean that III I'm gonna say it here and now okay I'm gonna say it here no special announcement I officially retire as a terminator fan I'm done I've been through a lot resigning we've seen a pretty big drop off I love Sarah Connor Chronicles okay good yeah right like I'm into that whole world but officially I'm out yeah Dominator Genesis I'm out should we hire a lot of time line they introduce me just I didn't like the casting look I didn't like it I'm retiring that's enough you'll enjoy terminator and if you enjoy it you think you gonna have fun go ahead but I'm retiring I'm done let's hit the headlines yeah Logan she's gonna torture you at know I just needed oh I hate it's like he's smiling at my pain alright okay alright so we've seen Microsoft Research do some crazy fun things all right that is tario well they're not stopping now they've got this AR paint thing which is incredible I can't wait to show you this okay it's using augmented reality and of course the Kinect which they they love to use so this basically scans the room it makes a 3d render in real time and the user can mark objects with paint colors yeah look virtual paint it looks like it's all covered in duct tape like that that render like everything's covered in duct tape yeah I'd say it's not a perfect science it looks pretty good so anyway when you mark something like a chair like he's marking the chair it's gonna flood it with color and it also recognizes anything else that is marked as a chair and paints that accordingly it's kind of like like a Microsoft Paint but like with future tech yeah this is weird it's like augmented reality Microsoft Paint so bizarre sort of banana yes a gold banana and some kind of coffee mug yeah it's a coffee mug they're not so this is all fun at all like you know Microsoft Research building everything like you said yeah that's amazing it's like this is a chair as well it's green now so they're not trying to sell this this is just like Microsoft Research having fun they're just kind of trying to show off like hey look at all the kind of stuff you can do this looks like splatoon yeah this looks like the world's worse than Gary or designer right now oh this looks like IKEA nightmares though it is looks like so this is called semantic paint sorry to drop that so late in the story but it's called semantic paint and again this is just a little little fun thing Microsoft Research is goofing around with so there you go I could totally use your Manas blue I could totally see this coming into play for things like interior design like if you're thinking about painting your wall you put on your hololens go like this and then you can see what the whole wall would look like as opposed to like using an AR app on like an iPad which might not be as good I could totally see anybody putting on Hollins and doing that and loving it yeah I mean this is one of those scratching the surface type things yeah like it's a concept and they're trying to get the ball rolling so that your brain can fire off electrodes and stuff Farrah's oh okay um can I please tell you about what might be for me my favorite story we've ever talked about into our day like two hundred two episodes in pipes two hundred two episodes in and we might have a robot fight happening within a year we get it and not just like battle bots which is awesome in and of itself I'm talking giant 12,000 pound robots duking it out USA v Japan like this is serious business okay so let's take a look at this video this is from megabots inc megabots inc has a robot named the megabot mark ii megabot mark ii is 12,000 pounds of pure robot battling goodness there are giant guns that fire out these are three pound paint cannonballs that are shot out of these crazy Gatling guns they want they have challenged officially kuratas oh yeah we reported on that we did which is from sue dobashi Heavy Industries it's a 9,000 pound robot if you forgot about it with a crazy advanced targeting system there's a single per and control and their CEO or you can control it with your iPhone we talked about that so they came on this video and obviously we're feeling very patriotic they're here from the US they were wearing American flag capes and they were walking and being total like badasses and they were like listen guys sue dobashi we're coming for you we want to set up this fight let's have these two giant robots Duke it out you're you got a nine thousand pound robot with one person inside it we got a 12,000 pound robot with two people inside it let's make this happen it sounds like a very expensive battle it sounds like a very expensive battle indeed because if I'm not mistaken I think that kuratas cost over almost one and a half million dollars to build so these are not cheap obviously but it's worth it I would pay my money is on Japan because they they are much better about robots than we are like they they have robo tag well it fires when you smile remember we like smile for that little camera that shoots the BB Gatling gun like things ready to pretty legit I mean okay so mega-bot says they're gonna give sue dobashi one year to set up the fight they get to set the terms of the fight and then in a year they're gonna and they also need time to adjust the robots because they're obviously not come with a hook combat ready which who knows what that means because they already have three pound paintball cannon cannon balls in there so it's not it's not for sure it's just a challenge is a challenge the gauntlet the actual robot gauntlet has been thrown down I think they should listen sue Dabashi if you're watching go for it because better they seem very weather and a hundred times I would pay for this on pay-per-view like legitimately jay-z would be there in the stands yeah like actually I can't do a jay-z impression I'm sorry I'm like uh-huh uh-huh like I don't know that's your jeez that's the best jay-z I know that's more like Nelly please no no sorry P Diddy PJ yeah uh-huh yeah well that's the year is like that's P Diddy to me like I hear that oh okay well there you go P Diddy hopefully you'll get to check out these robots fighting now please make this happen everybody this has to happen it has to happen and everyone Steele yeah it's like real steel except maybe I'm good a good entertaining thing sorry hugh jackman that brings us to our hashtag of the day which is TD robo fight and we just want to know who you think would win do you think you're gonna go with megabots mark to make a bot mark - are you gonna go with kuratas i mean you already said you think kuratas is gonna take i'm worse I want to know what you guys think what weapon should they put on there oh I like that - what weapons are they put on there to like really Lynch the wind yeah what do you think I really want a big buzz saw-like right down right down the center kind of cut them up I like that I like it um I'm gonna say I really like the idea of it having a high-powered laser that it can burn through like the the arm of the other one and like drop the armor the laser B oh well you got about it right on the head yeah yeah yeah right on right on the head you got to get like either eyes or you do one mega laser like I like the idea of a big heap like high-powered laser or another good one would be if it was you know it's out there and then all of a sudden it's like calling other robots and it makes like a big robot and Ron the little ones like on ya know I I love this story so much it made me so happy when I read it this morning and watch the video the video is hilarious you absolutely have to watch it because they get really into like the megabots robot they're like we at it big guns like and everything's translated in Japanese so that's - Dabashi can read it it's great it's amazing so great job megabots Inc and I really hope you get your robot fight because I want to see it and in fact Kayla and I are volunteering right now to commentate to do color commentary on the fight if it happens no I'm a pilot it anywhere it is you want to pilot it I want a pilot okay Kayla's volunteering to pilot or copilot cuz mega boy if you want to ride megabot you got a rep USA you'd have you know some other pilot in there - there's two people well I think I'd be full of expletives so they can't get they can't use me I just be like oh yeah I know I know you screaming and being at the time of your life flipping tables I would totally go John Madden on it and be like the robot that takes apart the other robot is the robot that's gonna win today and I make all these crazy like nonsensical a Captain Obvious comments it would be amazing TD Robo fight that's your hashtag okay really briefly let me tell you about this for real this is a crazy publicity stunt not real pretty interesting though I like that they did it it's just kind of a fun little thing Mercedes has a little car called the four-four there it is right there and they turn it into a train it's a tiny little mini train you can see watch you'll see the tires have been replaced with these giant 22 inch steel discs they're just these gigantic like basically they're railroad wheels like train wheels they threw them on there and and they they ran it down the track as if it were a a real train which is super weird it took six months to figure out they worked with a company called inter fleets to figure this out they like I said swapped out the wheels of solid steel discs for traction on the railroad and then they remove the steering they put in supports so the wheels stayed straight permanently because obviously you don't want like a bunch of wibbly-wobbly wheels like you would in a car because they're not really doing any turning on their own and then they they took a ten-mile ride on the track so that's that's what they did then they removed it from the tracks they were able to retrofit it back to its normal state as a 4/4 and not a four rail it doesn't look like it went terribly fast but it is moving at a little bit of a clip right here so I'm kind of fun I like this honor it's like running side-by-side with a real train kind of weird and I'm pretty sure that's like the Hogwarts Express train looks like the Hogwarts Express I am super disappointed in this guy that guy should have gotten out and surfed on this thing that would have been a yellow come on it wasn't that bad he could have totally done it what is it Swedish goldfish what was probably I don't know anyone read the paper six months okay I'm usually all for concept stuff but that was really weird it was super weird and they they said there's there's not really a plan to like kind of put you in production or anything but they just they they thought it would be really fun to do it and I do like this sort of idea of of you know just having an idea I'm like making it it is very weird and obviously we're never gonna see it happen in real life but it's kind of fun to be able to just remodel I stuff and put it out on the tracks and freak people out so little tiny train from Marcedes for real kind of cool anyway we're gonna take a quick break we'll be right back it's Thursday we'll talk about what we're into and then of course we have your user feedback so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we've returned it's Thursday it's time to talk about things we like this is into it kind of late to the game on this one hit me sometimes it's okay to be late to the game talking some things I figured out something about myself but this week I'm into Marvel's agents of shield Oh late to the game because it's had a really slow start I try to get into it at the beginning I read and it didn't work out but I also learned that I'm kind of into waiting till a bunch of it is out and then binge watching it so that I can get all the character development to you know and that one's a really good like really good show but it's like usually at the tail end of the season does it get good it's impressive like the scale at which this show can actually go like some of the set pieces even some of the CG I mean it's not perfect but it's pretty good for television and there's some great cameos sip from OH lady SIF yeah lady SIF from Thor's in there Samuel Jackson pops up a few times what's that other girl that that was a the second-in-command next to Agent Coulson in the Avengers movies oh I'm Maria so yeah Cobie Smulders yeah she's in a couple of episodes so it's pretty cool there's a lot of surprises what's even better is when the Hydra thing takes over anyway Hydra maybe maybe you were into at the beginning it's worth giving a shot to like some of the later episode to it because maybe it's just you know slow burn but if you can binge watch it now maybe you'll get passed out a little quickly and get into a good stroke what did you think of it a producer Logan probably out right around when you started really enjoying it yeah so it's it's it's pretty good I'm into it this weekend I'm trying to chug through it by the end of fortune alive weekend so there you go very nice cool so I want to tell you about this game that I started playing I've heard really good things about it and I hadn't I didn't really know what it was that did you it is an indie game prize there it's called her story and oh yeah have you heard of this yeah okay so this is really fascinating I did not think that narrative gaming could could be redone but this totally does that so you open up the app it's an it's a game that you can get on iOS you say I pad iPhone you can also do it on PC it's on like Steam and OS 10 so you get it on Mac or PC if you have Mac PC so what all it is is like this 1980s this like crazy computer interface so let me yeah okay so here's the computer interface and when you start the game search term is murder so it's in there and they give you these clips and there's four clips and it starts the story and all they are are FMV video of this woman being interrogated by the police okay and you're the cops and you have to figure out if this lady killed this other this guy because he's been murdered so you you listen to these four clips and you go oh she said this or she mentioned this person so I'm going to look that up as a search phrase and then you look that up and then there's more clips and then you go to watch those clips and you got to keep going and it's like a game version of cereal like it's really fascinating and fun it's like a true it's like it's such a good detective game I'm gonna ask you because you're making it sound like a very big and expansive game know how many hours would you say is is in this probably I'm not done with it yet but probably like a couple hours of your time okay so it's it's an iOS game it's not gonna it's not gonna you know it's not gonna you're gonna spend 10 hours on this I'm I'm kind of getting through it slowly like I'm trying to like kind of enjoy it and really you know get so is it just a yes or no like no yes sir nose I don't know what the ending is and I don't want to look it up but I want to and I don't want to spoil it for myself so now I'm not spoiling it for you I was actually just saying this today I don't know if the ending is you find a clip of maybe her confessing or her being exonerated somehow and then you just go oh well that's the end of the game like after you watch that clip of those congrats you figured it out but like there's got to be some search phrase that gives you the final answer to the game I'm guessing or maybe it doesn't I don't know maybe it's like cereal and it's ambiguous and you have to draw your own conclusions but it's like five bucks on iOS so I would say well worth the time like it's really interesting if you like if you like mystery games detective stuff or if you just really like things that this is a way to tell a story that I've not yet seen before and I just think it's super fascinating and I'm really impressed so that's what I'm into right now like I I'm literally right in the middle of being so I haven't finished it yet like I I'm still getting through it and I started it yesterday and I'm just like oh my god this game is awesome like it's so cool don't so yeah really dig it herstory that's what it's called so um and just just so weird and like quiet like there's not it's it's it's all just weird like interrogation every you actually feel like you're like looking at somebody's real life like interrogation for a murder it feels like it could be a real story it's it's pretty cool okay so now that we've talked about us it's time to talk about you let's hit your user feedback into it to user feedback okay you guys we asked you to use hashtag TV make me to tell us what you want robots to do or make for you in your house you did not disappoint then a lot of people say rich people stuff like you did no I want one to crack open my lobsters and polish my gold statues of myself paint large portraits of me for over my mantel ago I have 18 fireplace of course they didn't discipline no Steven wrote and said fetch me beer and pizza until Skynet takes over and he makes me do it like this like the other robot yeah he knew he was going to do that when he read producer Logan knew it okay Christopher wrote oh no good job lo a good job Brazil again Christopher said it would make me coffee on demand I know that sounds like accurate but this robot would also bring it to me and be friendly like this this is never gonna end Landon wrote in and said sandwiches so lots of sandwiches also it should make sure all my gadgets get plugged in at night like this no we're gonna now you're gonna torture him all weekend with these picture it's gonna be amazing and then okay meanwhile just said print me that money like he just wants money you should get a robot to print some money mmm like that one lesson plans for any dam says lesson plans for anything I might want to learn how to do like for example save humanity haha just gonna keep we're just gonna keep going I wish you guys were getting paid for this I know paid to use this image Rebecca says a house and and then Kirk wrote spray food from Phil of the future hashtag lazy and sprayed pizza for kale anonymous and then sent in this gift which is glorious he's sending a gif of like the actual clip of what is it called Phil of the future so we have this like animated gif thing which is pretty awesome producer Logan do we have that gift pretty so Logan hates Logan I'm pretty slowly gonna hate you today um okay guys so it's time talking about our very last bees use your feedback it's time for our phone talker for the day a
