on today's show researchers make an augmented reality sandbox with real sand in it a really really cool fiber that's going to be used in some amazing ways and Kentucky Fried Chicken has some really weird tech for you yup YUM tomorrow daily kruti citizen to the internet welcome to tomorrow daily bestie talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley skele that's Cal anonymous and you're you so welcome to the show cool you gave them an intro did your you you're part of the show now congratulations I hope you're ready to present your story we can't pay it I'm really sorry so I mean well I mean really can't really pay us know that will they they pay us in french fries and hugs but not actual money you get hugs i only get the french fries well producer Logan gives out hugs so you gotta hit him up Oh Logan is that true yeah you collected a while oh cool yeah hold back love oh my god I know what I'm doing this weekend maybe you'll get ok look I'll raise all right guys heads down headlines super awkward huh but no all right all right we got some good ones if we do let's talk about a super fiber and is not the kind you eat I know you're very health minded kale this is a little bit different but actually really exciting in terms of future tech so this may be a is that from last week that's us cus he never goes bad you didn't know that you're never goes bad you can quote me on that all right so this is not the kind of barber you eat as I mentioned this is a fiber that was developed by the University of Texas at Dallas and it is an electrically conducting fiber that can potentially be used for things like artificial muscles exoskeletons and morphing objects so it's like so watch they're stretching out this fiber they can stretch this fiber to 14 times its original length without without losing any resistance and also it conducts electricity in it so it actually increases its ability to conduct which is amazing so they were saying that the great thing about this is that originally they thought this will be great for things like artificial muscles like this is what we want to develop it okay originally they because because it expands and contracts you can conduct electricity through it so if you have like an electrical network that helps you know move these artificial muscles things like that which is great really really awesome but now after testing it they actually think they might be able to use it in a much wider variety of applications and one of the examples maybe was flexible electronics oh so like phones yeah or watches watches I mean things that did that conduct electricity on sings like that like this could be a really great breakthrough could be really great the next step yeah right um so how it's done is it's made by wrapping carbon nanotubes around a rubber core and they were saying that this rubber core is actually pretty easily accessible it's inexpensive it's not terribly expensive to make the only part of it the entire process that is a little bit expensive as they have a thin layer of air gel in there it took they have like different layers and so the bass part of the fiber is this rubber core with all these carbon nanotubes and then if they add to it they have like these different layers of stuff that help bolster it so one of them was aerogel which pre pretty expensive okay that's gonna be expensive well not alter if you don't have the aerogel which you can have the bass part of it which is that rubber core which is inexpensive easily accessible they were saying that this is literally able to be very rapidly commercialized if people chose to so you could really put something like this into production for a product like relatively quickly right which is kind of impressive um honestly I want a superhero suit made out of this like elastigirl yeah I'm just super super suit bring my mate where's my supersuit yeah no I mean I mean that'd be pretty good for something like if they needed to like gauge someone's heart like a real Hospital needleless I mean even though even the idea of flexible muscles artificial flexing my was more excited about that pretty impressive oh yeah you can be like deus ex human revolution yeah like you know super robotics and instead of your like if your arm was lousy you right lousy medical term and you could just kind of like a place at like if you yeah you could exoskeleton that was one of the big things they talked about is having these sort of artificial muscles assist and be very flexible and easy to move as opposed to like ReWalk has that robotic exoskeleton but it's very big and kind of bulky and you got to attach it to the outsides your hips and stuff yeah I'm sorry I jumped to cell phones and watches that even make it that much sense helping disabled I'm just excited just like melon kiddo okay my turn is stupid all right yeah I love when you give me these stories because this is just what what's going on okay cuz kmc has has announced a new technology that is going to be worked into their buckets their bucket okay so so let's uh let's go just show any just shout it has a chain okay so check out this new tech that they have based on their buckets I'm gonna go ahead yeah so this is this is a real thing it is a bucket that prints out pictures is called the memory you bucket basically you buy a bucket of chicken and then you set up your smartphone you take you take pictures and then you're able to send it over like bluetooth or Wi-Fi or whatever and then the bucket will print out pictures of you and your friends getting your greasy little mouths mitts and stuff like that that is what look at that's the thing you haven't been asking for it's the thing you've never thought of asking for in your whole life because it seems real dumb so basically it's just built a built-in photo printer and now this is all based around get ready cuz this is ready to make less sense this is to celebrate the 60th anniversary of KFC in Canada big I mean you know listen I'm not Canadian and neither you so I maybe we don't understand how important kentucky fried chicken and the colonel are to the people of Canada we don't know maybe can't maybe the colonel is like I don't know like a second figurehead like a rolling royalty of chicken royalty to Canadians if you're Canadian tell us in the comments how you feel about the colonel from KFC but yeah it's really dumb anyway I'm seeing this before they did came she did this weird promotion where they gave you a bluetooth keyboard you know when you order like a tray and there's always like a little piece of paper and they had a bluetooth keyboard so you could work while you're eating your kmc again another grease factor is involved here and people kept them so oh and the other thing is there's been a lot of fast food joints and companies making this this promotional kind of stuff like there's that hoverboard that's supposed to be coming out soon which I still think it's stupid Lexus says video next week I know but this week i'm so tired of them hyping it up and getting attention for it but let's just see the thing but anyway KFC says that this is a real thing it's not fake its not promote i mean to promotion but it's you're gonna be able to get i'm sure there's like gonna be limited ones but regardless people will be getting them um so yeah it's it's called the memory bucket I remember how much hopefully we can get one awful how awful I fell after ate an entire bucket of chicken just to be able to get a photo printer it looks like a chicken book so we have a hashtag of the day based around this i love i love these stories and love these so we want to hashtag TD bucket um come up with a better fried chicken bucket tech like what's a what's even together around their fried chicken bucket so what is yours how about a calorie counters like a little scale like it in your blood and the cholesterol measure yeah yikes i would say i would want a sauce dispenser so like inside the bottom of the bucket you like press you get like three options you can press like ranch BBQ honey mustard you press it and like coverage that's actually a really good idea the weird thing is that you'd get all of them no matter what like they're all there they're already all there so you may be wasting i do like to dip like chicken tenders in both ranch and BBQ though that's a good one it's pretty tasty um I'm gonna go ahead and change mine and say that I would have a heated bucket like it keep like yeah yeah okay again this is a cool tech even want you guys are better at thinking outside the box like maybe your strobes or something I don't know come up with something crazy I like the idea of having a Tesla machine like zap the chicken to keep it crispy that's it there you go oh that's pretty good I like a retired up with anything about the food but we want you guys to come up with something crazy like maybe maybe it's a part drone and it comes to you lies to you I like that idea I don't know tell us you just stole somebody's great idea i just want you to know like someone right now is i just show going kale why why did you take my idea I'm really upset alright last thing let's talk about a our sandbox this is really cool we saw something similar for kids like museum but this is a little bit different it's meant for education of university students this was developed with by UC davis and UCLA together jointly and they made a really neat sandbox that's real Sam that they're pushing around it changes the topography of what's going on with augmented reality so it uses a kinect projector sand in the box like all this stuff and what they do is so the idea is that topography maps are made for people to get elevation data very quickly through all of the lines but there are two DS so it can be really hard to visualize exactly sort of what you're looking at like I've look hiking maps I'm just like I don't know what's happening here but I'm not a seasoned hiker so you see Davidson UCLA said okay let's make this a our sandbox let's put sand in their students can make valleys they can make exploding volcanoes they can make you know beautiful hills like all this different stuff and then they can actually hold their hands over the top of what's going on in the sandbox to artificially create rain like their hands are the clouds and so all these he watch so you can see it look at waters falling down into the different pools inside the actual a our sandbox which is pretty amazing so it gives students an idea of how erosion works it gives them an idea of how rainwater affects the land in different ways and also the real goal here is the university said they want to hopefully help students develop the ability to sort of visualize these top our topographical features out in the field so when they don't have access to this they can remember using this and say okay like I remember seeing this effect in the sandbox so now that I'm out in the field looking at this actual piece of geography I can say okay well this topography is different and here's how it might have eroded over time because of the simulation that I saw in the sandbox I was gonna say UCLA you seem to be a little late on this one because I don't know you remember look pretty sure lucky go to my camera yeah that was the that was the kids thing right well not only did you pan do it but even before that Disney did this right and they had it on their cruise ships just for kids to play with this is sounds like dance it sounds like the huge difference here which none of these had is the clouds and also the erosion factors so so it's not just a because you can also on the disney one create a volcano and see how that's really how about deals down but this one sounds like the erosion as part of it the rain is part of it well you can also see in the video the topography lines so it yeah it's actually site like you can actually do scientific measurements and experiments with this one as opposed to the one that's just for kids for fun so they basically took an idea that's out there and said let's try to find a way to make this educational for college students as well as children so it's children it's really fun thing to sort of just see how the land changes but then for these topography students it's like okay we're going to equip you with the ability to use this device and then go out in the field and say okay I saw the simulation this is how I'm guessing this this piece of land eroded just saying UCLA you got that college money maybe keep up keep up with Disney and Japan no one can keep up with Japan I know but it's cool I want to play I want to play with that all right guys we're gonna take a quick break we're gonna come right back with back at her hackett it's a food-based back at her hackett this week I don't know if you're gonna like it at all but writers what yeah they actually just eat spiders says that's the back of the Hackett and and then of course we have your user feedback and our phone target for the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show everybody that is going to make you so sick um you know it's Monday and that means we like to talk about crowdfunding and whether or not we want to give our money to people so it is now time for back into Hackett all right Kel I'm gonna give you a name of something you're gonna tell me if you think it's something you would buy just based on the name the Imperial spirit cater oh yeah you do it oh yeah kills already guy's wallet out okay it happen to me so have you heard of molecular gastronomy like super high-end cuisine it's kind of weird experimental stuff yeah I think we've talked about something like I'm not like I love astronomy okay so there's an idea in molecular gastronomy it's like Perl izing foods so they make little pearls of stuff that looked like caviar but they're flavored very differently and it's kind of a little bit of a process use alginate like it's a big thing but but this is the Imperial Spheeris purification and held device that makes any food you can liquefy in the little tiny edible pearls that you can put it onto your food so you can make like creative cool like ideas culinary ideas so the video shows off a whole bunch of different types of food it looks like caviar fish eggs row whatever but it's not see how this is the way you would normally do it is you would have this alginate you have these little syringes and it's this big whole thing this now is the things to make it easy quick and painless they're saying it's very easy to use they say that it's easy to clean and the video shows different flavors like onion vinegar mint tomato coffee like they did a coffee a little coffee caviar almost on the desert and then you get these little like bursts of coffee as you eat your dessert so pretty amazing um so you blend whatever it is that you want to make that you want to liquefy you want to turn into caviar you got to wait for all the air bubbles to leave so this is the one without any air bubbles they let sit for a while and then you dump the liquid into this terrific ater that's alginate they're adding alginate that's what you've got to do all the Elgin because that makes the outside the shell of the little spheres so you mix the alginate you put in your stuff and then when you use the spirit vagator it puts just the right amount of liquid down into the alginate bowl and then you like to sift it out so yeah there you go see drops his and then as you drop them in it makes the little dots and then you pull up the strainer and there they are right there you rinse about onions rinse them off of water yep and then yeah that's it you're done you put him on your food pretty amazing okay tell me why I wouldn't like this well I thought you'd be really weirded out by it if I'm being honest I thought you'd be really weirded out I love the delightful it's you don't have to have like a big chunk of onion it's kind of like this these little bites the stops of onion it's a fancier like it's a very kind of cool futuristic way to season something I I really like it do you really like it I'd up again I don't like the texture of that kind of thing okay I don't even like dippin dots if you even know what those are not like that ice cream that's the ice cream of the future yeah from 90s funny but it's stupid but this is cool I like that it's sort of subtle because some people don't like your texture a certain thing that's true maybe onion sure when you bite into it it's too much it gets stuck in between your teeth or whatever but this is cool he's like you gotta like tomato Tabasco he may like tabasco is the hot sauce ahhh see ya PR that's correct about you and then it's like you do bite them and then they pop like they obviously a little pop nigga okay big gold mouth of all right all right all right so okay so uh let's let's let's get to the nitty-gritty they want sixty one thousand dollars they're very close to their goal if not they may have surpassed it at this point they're pretty close this morning um they deliver this year in November so it you can get it in time for Christmas if you're thinking about buying it for a keulen airy loving friend or loved one the retail price of this so much do you think does it come with like the packs of whatever I think it's like a kit that first shipping comes with a kit of like alginate and then you get the spherificator and then you get like 250 250 retail 175 so less than you actually thought but the Earl okay so they did too they have three early birds the first two are already sold out they had a hundred-dollar level which I totally would've totally bought it charlie is it's got less than 20 days left then they had a 125 level that also sold out what about a pro violet it now I think there might be a few left at 150 bucks i wouldn't pay 200 so 175 though me not bad i like all things considered if you want to do something cool with your food like it seems like a fun thing but yeah it also seems to me like the kind of products like the kind of product you buy like you go to bed bath and beyond and you're like oh my gosh this looks amazing I have to have this thing for my kitchen it's gonna do this one thing in the kitchen and then you've literally use it like twice a year yeah it's like people that get excited about the Magic Bullet you know that infomercial and you're like oh I'm gonna magic bullet everything and then you magic bullet for like a week and then you're like answer because this is a lot this adds a lot to prep time right it's basically you'd use it for company and then usually just once or twice Christmas I get what you're saying that's why i said i wouldn't pay two hundred dollars for it but man i would have paid a hundred if you own a restaurant this would be super cool any big expensive put yourself on the map now so they well now i mean like a lot of molecular gastronomy chefs who are who have you perfected this like um Wylie Dufresne is really famous for this sort of idea he had a restaurant called WD 40 in New York and I love chefs like food and if you couldn't tell Oh at home I like food and so um he has this he had this restaurant and really kind of like he was one of the people who sort of revolutionized the idea of molecular astronomy and like doing sorts of crazy things with food like making ice cream with um you know nitrogen liquid nitrogen and like you know doing food like that or you know different types of techniques that weren't used in the kitchen previously like that are very kind of futuristic looking things like that like that was one of his things and this was one of them was like caviar or paralyzing food so it's been around for a while and a lot of really restaurants like you might see this technique but they're trying to bring it into casual home use which is pretty cool so there you go the Imperial spirit gainer all right great name by the way God whatever back it yeah sure I'm back it I see yeah why not like it's like a yeah sure why not I mean this would be fun I again I'd love to see in a restaurant yeah my friend had to be like oh cool and that I would never want him to do it again never see it again yet what about you Logan me see are doing alcohol everyone has a light to alcohol you could do it like alcohol dippin dots could I make this can I figure that out if you put like little Tabasco balls and you're a bloody mary that's cool that'd be pretty glorious all right guys let's uh let's go let's shift gears let's stop talking about crowdfunding and let's talk about you it's time for a user feedback so we asked you guys to use hashtag TD prime here and tell us how exactly you would differentiate amazon's version of top gear which it won't be named that versus the bbc's version of top gear which they're now trying to soar reboot with new hosts so you guys have some good answers and a couple that I expected but Tilly wrote in and said I don't think they can actually amazon knows the talent they bought and the people who will be watching so I think that's a good point account is it good how much can they differentiate without turning off the original viewer base of top gear however I'm sure that there are ideas that the the hosts and creators had that they couldn't do because the BBC might have been limited or maybe the formula work too much that Amazon's more willing to keep open minded but Tilly's absolutely right you don't want your audience to come they're expecting that one thing they're like finally it's back and it's something different yeah you moved my cheese you know so good good good finally good uh Roger wrote in and said they can be as racist than sex that says they want now whoo too hot for TV a sick burn lawyer Clarkson's gonna need some creek exact he gets to punch every guest see you just get to punch everybody now come on I just contractors coming up next we have Hugh Hefner yeah I guess his punches everybody ocular nervosa Rhoda and said is it bad that I hope it's just like Top Gear these are most of the answers don't change it it's the same and then lastly Ramses wrote and said I hope they don't yeah most people don't change if it ain't broke don't fix it keep doing the same great stuff and it went it's it's really is a great show it's just keep doing the great great stuff and if you can find ways to make it interesting or different like you were talking about last week like then do those things but not don't don't try to fix it like better because nothing's broken just let it be Yeah right it's but you know I had the same feelings and I'm not disagreeing with you but usually means I disagree with you mine is kind of like a devil's advocate I'm a huge fallout fan in case that I haven't translated that out to you and when people ask me what I'd want to change but from fallout 3 to fallout 4 by the way it's video games open worlds post-apocalyptic anyway so they said what would you want change I said nothing just make another version of fallout but they've added all this great stuff that I don't know that I wanted and I'm very excited to spend even more time in that world so we don't know yeah but I totally get not wanting it all we can do is trust that team and their executive producer who all came from Top Gear to make a show that is as good if not better than what came before like if I think we can trust them I feel like we can trust them and I think Amazon is not dumb and I think they know that they need to give the fans exactly what they want but also go up above and beyond just like you were saying with fall out and give them things they didn't even know they wanted so I think like if they can do that then they're in a really good I love for them to get more people excited about the show not that there isn't enough cuz there's tons yeah everybody loves I'm sure they'll be a big ramp up yeah I would love to see some sometime again never bored by watching the show who knows knows but good points very very salient points all right guys it is time for our last piece user feedback which is always our phone tog refer of the day Tom wrote in its better not be amazing you know it's it's the worst really what a what a dump I says hey guys huge fan of your show from New Zealand these photos were taken at Lake Coleridge and mount Hut just out of Christchurch and you know what like honestly guys uh I'm a little jealous because I don't I feel like I only live in a place with great sunsets like that's all I really get in Southern California amazing sunsets like that's the thing I feel like we're famous for photographically if you go look on like Instagram it's awesome be another beautiful Southern California sunset we get that a lot yeah we're never likely this beautiful smog this we don't see this this never happens maybe you go to like mammoths you might see something like that but I have never seen a photo like this and all my day I've never seen anything like this in person in my life yeah that's what I'm saying and that's a lot of your pictures there are things that you send in that I'm just like I have never seen that in my life I've never seen that in person with my own two eyes Lawson Los Angeles isn't known for any sort of nature type thing really good street photography i will say that there's some really good strong beautiful street photography in LA which isn't for everyone not for everybody but like you're in the landscapes and stuff you got to go out to the desert it's like that's don't get me wrong our desert rock unbelievable our mountains rock but they're so far from where we live at least the now we're just trying to explain our jealousy yeah and why we like your photos like we like them so that's I mean that was incredible like you forget you said that out of jealousy you said that out of like like just being great probably never seen anything like that and i don't know that i will in my whole life we're also glad that you have an eye for it i like how we're unloading all this stuff that we felt for a long time but we're glad you guys have an eye for it showing off such a such cool things that like maybe not everybody gets to see now just why this segment is really awesome yeah that is the soapbox of yellow get down off of our soap box and if you want to send in your photogra fee you can always email it to us tomorrow at cnet com tell us what phone you took it with tell us where you took it all that good stuff and if you want to find us on social media you can find tomorrow the show at tomorrow daily or tomorrow daily com if you want to share it with somebody that would be awesome and if you want to find us on social media because we're the best ever you find me at Ashley sceva on Twitter and I'm at killing i miss Logan what do you think is gorgeous in LA no bouquet he should have said his girlfriend but I was gonna say we may not have those beautiful views but everyone here's gorgeous like Liam some of them are really pretty so it's such a mind they're terrible people oh ya know they're empty inside empty inside of the house like shell is oh my god yeah it's like beautiful shell but that's about it anyway anyway that note that is it for today's show we'll be back tomorrow with a brand new daughter too weird science fact a science fiction flown up with your face but until then it'd be good humans will see you guys next time we're empty inside you
