on today's show students at Rice University are trying to find a way for you to get shots without pain an AR that turns your home into your very own survival horror game and Swedish scientists are gonna put you in someone else's body using virtual reality well probably not you but there were some other people will tell you about some our daily free of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek to action in our universe I'm Ashley skeleton of me as always the man not in a mask kill anonymous this is a shirt you gave me I did look familiar yeah I really it's a little big you're so trimmed caledonia how do you keep your trim figure a shrinking pills shrink oh yeah that's gonna be on the show I'm a little smaller every day one day kayla is going to actually be the size of a I'm getting ready for my aunt man cosplay I'm super stoked comic-con is coming up yeah coming up so you got to be be that small get about like 60 days I already got I already got my small ticket for a comic con tiny little ticket I know I got a little room at comic-con lanyard ready to go I love it all right great uh well let's hit the headlines its it's not even Thursday no ok now it's not even close the first time you to wednesday we're not even close to going off the rails um so I'm to tell you about this really weird and interesting story out of Sweden this comes from the Carolyn Scarah links Institute karolinska in Sweden and I thought this was super fascinating so scientists took VR headset state they stuck 15 people not at all at once but one at a time into an MRI machine they put VR headsets on them and then they try to give them the a sort of out-of-body experience by making it look like they were in someone else's body a stranger's body in the VR headset ok and what they wanted to do was they wanted that's terrifying situation control threats and stuff so what they wanted to do is they wanted to check brain activity to see if your brain would feel like you were in that strangers body if you were using VR so they were scanning while the experience was happening to see what your brain did it work surprisingly yes and it was actually shockingly quick how everybody's brains adjusted to being inside these strangers body so is this is super fascinating um they so what would happen is you saw in the video you could see two different sets of feet you actually were looking at the person who is actually in the MRI machine with the VR headset on is in the background you see them yeah okay and they are seeing this point of view that we're seeing in video right now yes so this is a stranger's body but first but but for all intent and purposes they saw the same brain activity as if they were in their own body and when they saw people threatening their body across the room no response hahahaha think it was theirs like it wasn't the same sort of like feel sorry for that guy yeah yeah it was sort of like phantom limb syndrome so they were able they said they the they would brush like a paint brush along the legs of the strangers body and they wouldn't feel it like they would feel it as if it was their actual body like their brain would light up as if it was happening so and they would have sort of a stress response if they did the like the knife thing where they like or they had like a sledgehammer like closer and their stress levels would go up in the strangers body when they had the VR headset on but not when they saw their body across the room inside the Machine get threatened which is weird yeah that is really weird it's super weird so um they also did location that those were the location tests and I thought that the purpose of this was really fascinating so the goal here because I didn't think there could be a goal other than we just want to see what your brain let's just mess with some people let's just see what your just to see what your weird brain does is some day they want to be able to give a doctor in one part of the world a VR headset and controls and have it control a robot across the world and do surgery on somebody else that's what they're trying to do with this not trying to do it with this but this is the start of understanding how the brain works when put into a virtual body somewhere else in another location okay so this is a removed from what they see the beginnings of that type of research but the very far end game of this is to be able to insert somebody into a robotic body elsewhere and have them sort of treat treat that robotic body as if it was their own and do things like surgery or other things that require precision hands or a lot of training a lot of skills to do so I thought this was so weird and so cool yeah but they even like thought well maybe let's see and and like I said it took within they said the participants brains merged touch and visual input within seconds and accepted the strangers body almost as if it were their own man I think I would probably do that too I feel like I would if somebody like if someone was to go I'm so thirsty I'd be like oh yeah I'm thirsty too oh yeah I / feeling a little yeah ol thirsty but yeah that's pretty it's pretty common pretty intense like I think that's a coolant but also very intense thing which actually brings us to our hashtag today and I'm really curious what your answered this is n yours to everybody at home a TD Robo VR and I want to know what it would take if somebody came to you and said I can put you like I can basically give you this VR headset and we're going to keep your body alive but you're gonna be able to live out the rest of your life is a robot would you do it and if you if you might do it what is the thing that would put you over the edge like absolutely I would totally do it if this were the case yes I would do it you were doing yeah without a doubt but the question is am I gonna be like a kale robot like am I gonna be a kid like am I gonna have so it would have to be you like you'd have to look like you well yeah I mean if I'm gonna live my life is this thing I want to be able to have sex ok I want to be able to taste food and no like i want to have the normal senses is what I'm saying ok have senses ok so that's like you're tipping point to say yes you're like okay if I can have all of my senses I'm in yeah I'll live the rest of my life out as a robot right yeah sizes I think I think I would do it if there was a way to keep me alive longer than a normal human lifespan but you wouldn't need the senses no you wouldn't need to feel touch tastes no that's just I just want to see it see everything so you just hang out as a robot yeah seems legit sad sad super sad I feel like I would enjoy hanging out with other robots like if I could talk to other robots like I could talk to them I'm saying emotions about I'm just saying you know like robots that'd be cool I would have to have some level of God is a thing you it assimilates you just said here's basically assimilate into just being a robot like I wouldn't be Ashley and weren't you'd be like oh yeah I'm a robot I'm not sure that with the road I'm saying is if it were me in a robot's body I would still have empathy because I'd still be a person would be controlling it yes but still have empathy and I'd still be able to talk to people and have emotions but but all you know I'm carrot okay let's make me a robot do it oh go hang out the robot only if I could live longer than an average human life span because if not then what's the point then I'd rather just have my dumb old body my big double meat bag walking around I don't want to be like Terminator though like normal terminator okay nobody emanator and in my dreams be it would be t1000 of course but you know I guess I realize would just be k1000 yeah Caitlyn does any one thousand I'll be back so that's that's a second eight TD Robo VR and that's your hashtag all right okay so let me talk about this let me talk about this survival new survival horror game because there there's nothing scarier than thinking there's something scary in your house that's true because that's where you feel like you're safe well this new AR game that is actually being a crowdfunded right now works within that fear and then it adds but it turns your house into a survival horror game nope so basically the game builds a map of your house using the phone's accelerometer and then builds a custom experience it's called night terrors which i think is a fantastic name perfect I love it so then basically what you do is you turn off the lights in your in the house of your apartment or your house or apartment and then you only get to use the LED on your phone which is awesome uh to navigate around the game any of this is designed to predict your behavior there was a spider that's a job there's yeah I know you could just like change it to be only spiders I i want that toggle i'm gonna email the guy yeah the spider one kill needs a spider delete that app off my phone so anyway the developers name is Brian Mitchell and he's put in over a thousand hours into making this this app and into his computer vision system which makes the game possible now uh it's actually not done yet okay is this crown crowd yeah it's on IndieGoGo right now okay for five dollars and it's scheduled for delivery sometime next year so it's not xterra it sounds amazing as far as AR and games are and on horror games are concerned it's really cool and like you can just go into your house and then you know do a little mapping with your accelerometer write everything out walk around in your terrible scary house and never leave your house the same way again nope oh this is this must be them making it so they're filming like all the different yeah things that'll show up in the game I don't like it what's that what's really cool about this is I mean there's a lot of potential in this I could see a horror movie that whatever is a horror movie coming out they can be like put our monster in there so like if you play this game you see Slenderman or so right yeah oh man that's a really good point so he's got all these prototypes and like so light scanners and things I mean this is stuff that hasn't really been done before an AR I would imagine like all of this sort of space spatial kind of scanning and awareness and then like you were saying they sort of manipulate you into doing certain things during in the game like they're like oh hey like so if we're gonna make you if we want you to stay still we're gonna shut the lights off and play some scary music so you can't move forward yeah I'm very interested to see this actually like somebody walking around trying to say that's it super love to well we will shot as soon as we have access to oh yeah absolutely this looks so there you go uh IndieGoGo five dollars chego awesome go check it out love definitely worth I think this is like one of the coolest AR game things I've seen that's pretty awesome just hands down so can you imagine this being ported hololens know no yeah well the the bad thing about that is if you don't know how to shut it off after you turn on your hollow lens and you just like walking around oh hey somebody else I'm trapped in my house somebody finds kale just boy yeah it's slightly done maybe that's why they count canceled silent Hills is because they're trying to make this yeah maybe that's maybe that's it that would be awesome though because you know silent hill basically a position you're walking around everything's normal and then everything starts like shedding here in the rusty yeah yeah the terrible air raid horns bar and then Pyramid Head shows up and everybody gets funny stuff gets real um all right I got to tell you about this very last thing and then we're gonna have a little a little to do before we hit the brake and food cuz it's a little to do it is cinco de mayo um i want to tell you about comfortably numb so getting shots sucks look like it hurts and i'm getting like blood draws up anytime you get an injection no good it kind of hurts so these are freshmen students that had to come up with something something innovative and so they actually did you can see this is a little device they called it comfortably numb and it works a little bit like an ice pack so the stuff that is inside an ice pack is ammonium nitrate and and water and when you actually break the you know you basically crackle an ice pack you're putting those two things together which causes an endothermic reaction which then makes your i SPECT cold okay okay so they did something very similar inside this little capsule where they have two different chambers and you twist it the top of it and it combines the two and then there's a little bit there's a metal bit at the bottom like almost a tray that gets really really cold and so they hold it against your skin right before you get an injection so basically numbs it okay nice now obviously the question here is like well what's the point of that why not just use an ice pack cuz just use an ice pack why did you build this thing but what they want to do is they want at some point to integrate this into actual syringe caps so you'd be able to have the end of it be that little metal bit and you you basically like crack that combine the two two substances have the tip of the syringe get cold hold it and then flip the syringe around and then give you an injection so basically it would all be in one little pack very cool yeah people use so I thought this is really ingenious and and from like I said a freshman team of like three took three kids at Rice University so I thought that was really interesting and cool and and something that's like kind of small but would it's like one of those kind of very tiny life improvement things where it's like it's just as very small quality of life improvement but also something that I thought was super cool that they kind of came up with that is really neat I hate needles so yeah I don't like I don't like I love I'm happy to give blood like but I also i hate the feeling of like getting a needle and ears like help me like how that hurts so thank you guys for like little kids like little kids would love this kids elderly because obviously their skin is thinner so it hurts a little bit more um so you know stuff like that would be fantastic so people with really sensitive skin I mean there are people who when they get any like if they get a booster shot or you know if you get a shot your arm hurts for days sometimes yeah so yeah really very cool nice job students at Rice University great work cheb rice that is it for our headlines we are going to take a quick break and come back with our new releases up but before we do that our friends over at gamespot want to tell you what games they are playing right now and why you should also be playing them so we'll be right back tomorrow daily I'm currently playing PT and you should as well because it is a entrancing and very unique horror game from hideo kojima but unfortunately it's been pull off the PlayStation Network store if you're lucky enough to have download it play it now if not find a friend or going ybañez spend about two thousand dollars to get a playstation 4 with it on the hard drive so i think you guys should play grand theft auto 5 online i know the game has gotten a little bit of a bad rap and there's some questionable material in it but playing online with your friends is just a really fun exciting experience especially you know going through and accomplishing these really elaborate heist so right now I'm playing Skyrim again this time on PC with tons and tons of graphics mods installed so the whole purpose of course is to see Skyrim at its most beautiful so if you're looking to get lost in something for a week a month a year and decade then maybe Skyrim on PC with a whole bunch of mods is the way to go so these days I'm really into box boy on the 3ds and if you've got a 3ds you should totally pick it up it's five bucks you download it from the eShop and it's this really cute like minimalist puzzle you play as a little box with legs and you can generate boxes to help you climb over things or snake around things and like any good puzzle game it kind of starts building those mechanics in there and gets more and more complex to the point where once you're solving these tough puzzles it feels really good welcome back to the show it's Tuesday well game are you playing right now of course you are nevermind why did I even ask I don't know I thought you were setting me up for that no I get that you're shaming me no no I just I'd realize of course you're playing grand playground I thought oh yes o course you are um ok so it's Tuesday we like to talk about things that are gonna be lightening our wallets this week so let's talk about new releases wait what game are you playing right now is that was that why you're brought it up no I was just curious oh because we did the game are you playing right now I played Final Fantasy parts ok lo yeah of course the quarter yeah we're lame ok so what are we going to lil I'm totally right so do we got all right so first up Wolfenstein the old blood is coming out today it's out today glute offense dies Wolfenstein if you want to go fight some Nazis old school website that was the very first video gamer ever played yeah Wolfenstein castle wolfenstein on my dad's completely it was a it's so funny like my dad was definitely uh maybe oh my God look how good this looks or this is gorgeous um the game boy looks pretty good uh apparently it's really fun it's getting good reviews good notices from what I've seen uh and and I I kind of want to play it I like I haven't played a Wolfenstein game in a really long time this possum I think this is a prequel oh my god yeah it looks really good that's it there you go I'm sorry I haven't seen this trailer here oh my god he shut his leg off all right you fight fight Nazis okay on PA what is the xbox one pc the xbox one playstation 4 MPC okay get on i need to get a new pc continue all right yeah I already been talking together this is an interesting release it's not technically a game but remember the room alive demo from Microsoft where they had like the the people in the like Anna living room and they were like fighting stuff that was projected onto the walls and everything and they was called room alive we have I think we have any of this so here's the do you remember this never seen this movie okay so Microsoft Research had this concept called room alive and are we I think we might have talked about it on the show maybe it's a little okay um and and so it was it's like I think it's a couple of connects so there's some projection technologies of scanning rooms and stuff like that and then putting out these sort of like little games whatever but the point of all of this is that it d code for this the source code for room alive is now open source Microsoft has released the code for this on github all right I'm so you can go ahead and head over there and download that if you want to sort of build your own room alive games which I thought was pretty cool I thought it was pretty neat that they serve released that to people because they're like well we're kind of I think maybe they kind of feel like we're working on hollow lens we don't really doing this anymore like maybe sort of the types of things you would be doing in room alive or things we'd rather have you doing with the hollow lens on yeah so I think this is sort of the the you know kind of open source public access version of you know that this is the thing that sort of led to hololens I would imagine but pretty cool that they released it I like guitars very cool that's cool that they were actually covering it oh yeah i just i i read that and i thought that was pretty awesome they were like hey let's give this to people and let them kind of figure out their own stuff so whole thanks microsoft hopefully we'll see some really awesome so send me an xbox one I don't know why I just send me what do it uh and then of course a movie wise there's like nothing really coming out this week because nobody wants to go up against the avengers weekend and Mad Max is the weekend after so just go just go see the Avengers again this week that's my recommendation Logan you have an xbox one okay he's good you don't have to send him one at Microsoft yes kayla just me you have a playstation as well uh yeah yeah Logan yeah alright so just send me a PlayStation as well at Microsoft I know that's not your deal but see just just to be fair yes be fair and even of course yeah just send you both but yeah so that's what's coming out this week I think some good stuff I really do actually want to check out Wolfenstein looks pretty good yeah that looked incredible it looks pretty fun yeah um so okay we talked yesterday about Star Wars and we asked you guys use the hashtag TV for so it's time for user feedback okay guys um we asked you what storylines you wanted to see in the new Star Wars movie once again as always you did not disappoint Frank wrote in to us and said a cameo of the three masters guiding new Jedi's qui-gon jinn obi-wan Kenobi Yoda interesting blue glowies yeah it simple guys going oh yeah yeah I like it I like it Rick wrote and said I want to see kylo Ren to be a stepson to Darth Vader and his saying revenge will be served father holding the Darth Vader helmet well let's talk about that who would be the mother then who would like who would Darth Vader had cheated on Padme with it would have to be cheap it would have to be like I got it I got it what you know keira knightley was her decoy in in the first it's that's that that character League that's really good maybe he didn't even know it wasn't her maybe she sent maybe she's just tired she had a headache one night Pat maze-like I just send in my decoy go there you go before you've all been there I have my decoy girls got a big boys this is kills actually you know what decoy Micah job send my decoy an xbox one and playstation as well we just I'm will you might as well true sorry balance is uh um but I like that kind of idea that it's like he's related to Darth Vader maybe I I actually like your fan fiction that you're writing right I like Miami you're welcome you're welcome everybody that could be official canon someday hey sis wrote in and said here's what I don't want to see any mention of midi-chlorians Star Wars a space fantasy not hard sci-fi agreed yeah I they probably won't ever say midi-chlorians ever again I don't think they're really gonna think we're gonna ignore they look like he's gonna be like like I'm in a chlorine store let's think of it this way and let's think of it this way so in the prequels they use the word midi-chlorians to describe something like sciency they didn't really understand like you know over the last like let's say like 50 years or whatever like things of Chiss science has changed and so it let's just say it's a really old archaic sort of like bad way to describe the force and like people thought they could describe it but really isn't so I like to think that's just oh that's just the old folks I get into new movies though the guys just sold folks talking my middle floor is this ridiculous midi-chlorians is now like a like a offensive term yeah yeah exactly old people say it there like midi-chlorians like who cramp ah reum not now damn purse Helen yeah I like that I like that pre Empire pretty good Dustin wrote in and said I want to see r2d2 talk who has not wanted that a with like a like a deep boys she's like Barry White yeah why do you guys keep messing around let's just do the job we came here to do it give it to Patrick Warburton and give him like a voice that are the two yeah perfect um it's good it's good it's good it's good um and then lastly Dave wrote us an email and said hey kids wanted to throw my two cents on plot lines for the new Star Wars trilogy all billed on mr. uh not a mrs. desire to want to see Leia using the force warning Will Robinson spoilers ahead I chole his ability with the force building over the upcoming movies in Episode seven maybe on a low level moving say a plate with fruit across the table to be closer to her maybe something so subtle people around her wouldn't even notice episode eight would expand her use to the point where the climax of the film will revolve around her using the Force to save a main character or characters and the final episode would have the saga wrap up with Leia as the pivotal character that saves the star wars universe I could see a scene with a representative of the dark side thinks he or she has ensnared both Luke and Leia and lay a kicked butt big time the brainstorming makes me wonder if the movie isn't telegraphing Leia's use of the force with its subtitle the force awakens that's some serious thought but you know what I realize I don't know what I want from Star Wars anymore I know I just don't because I feel like there was a lot of things that I thought I wanted and then George Lucas gave me a few of them and I got it may be just like I didn't want that I don't let that meant like wow we're so good at lightsaber battles isn't it entertaining no listen in claw and attack of the clones though when all of those Jedi fight and the Stygian OC and stadium like that's awesome yeah that was cool that's pretty cool and that was a moment that was like I'm not necessarily a Jedi girl like I love me some smugglers scoundrels like that's my jam like amma han solo girl not a Luke no Luke Skywalker girl but that was all there's a lot of Luke Skywalker girls I think there's a lot of girls I don't love and just love a Jedi love a Jedi and like so I'm just not that guy love love a han Solo that's my that's my jam use a blaster no hokey religions we gotta go that way but I thought that scene was really cool like I loved watching it and every time I see it even now it's like it makes me feel like a kid again like seeing that scene that's cool hey that segment seriously you lost me with the starburst whatever I'll take it Fritz wrote in fritz wrote and sent us this picture he says hey Ashley and kale there has been a been construction of a new bypass going through the portion of the woods in my hometown here in Georgia what you see here is a lone chimney standing in the middle of where the road is intended to be all work on the projects has come to a halt as County officials ponder what to do with this historic chimney I took this picture of my iphone 4s PS the main road is located 50 yards for the chimney so I drove my car up the service road intended for the use of heavy machinery on a Sunday because the workers have the day off I enjoy the show and look forward to every episode keep up the good work Fritz yeah Fritz put in work to get this photo really hard works but in this photo but yeah well there's living a story I'm on this little chimney air I like that it's just sitting there in the middle of the woods onew is there what's it attached to what was it part of I want to know well what's historical what's a historical chimney well maybe it's part of a historical building that no longer exists like a wood building that maybe it just kind of disintegrated over time I wonder how they didn't know like they planned this road and they really just didn't know there was a historic chimney right in the middle the woods yes not yeah they just started working and then they're like on the chimney yeah Jimmy came out of nowhere out of nowhere I didn't even see it coming uh if you
