Tomorrow Daily - Live off the grid in this tiny, portable egg-shaped house, Ep. 184

2015-05-27
on today's show a fast-food paper tray that's also Bluetooth Keyboard a formula eraser drives around with a VR headset on and it's super awesome and dangerous it's definitely dangerous and also a little egg that you can live in off the grid anywhere in the world pretty weird not dangerous but weird some are daily greetings citizens with the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best speak talk show in the known universe I am Ashley skele join me as always Kail anonymous it's Wednesday mm-hmm I'm going to Google i/o tomorrow so we're shooting I'm telling you in advance guys we're shooting two shows today so you're live right now no I mean tomorrow tomorrow I'll be lost so when we say okay so tomorrow's episode I will be in two places at once text so you're spoiling that tomorrow we're wearing the same underwear as we're wearing today essentially spoiler alert guys spoiler alert um which always underwear alert number one headline of the day today but but we do have more so let's hit it fun facts about tomorrow daily really we're really losing our credibility with the underwear story but yeah it's that yeah okay all right so what he got all right let's talk about the Eco capsule um I saw this and thought it was so cool and so strange but also kind of what the future looks like to me like I think about things in the futuristic things and it feels like this is a thing that is one of those things um this is a little egg-shaped house this is a house that you can live in you can see the pictures a producer Logan was kind enough to grab a whole bunch of pictures offline and it is fully portable it is powered by solar and wind energy and can capture and filter rainwater and do so basically you can live completely off the grid it is about fourteen point six feet long which is four point five meters long two point four meters wide and two point five meters tall so is about eight feet tall so it is really a little egg shape here's the interior it has a folding bed a table two chairs a little kitchen a toilet and a shower so pretty much everything you need for basic living has some storage space so there's some storage space that you have available to you and and some and there's like two windows so you get a couple windows and so the solar power actually charges an onboard battery so even if there's a cloudy day you can pull from the battery okay so you can see you can harvest and store energy on a sunny day so for those cloudy days you'll have energy and architects are saying that it can support somebody living off the grid for almost a year just pretty great yeah pretty cool except for they have to get like food and stuff but whatever they do you have to go this week would not water because if you have while depending on where you are but if there's rain it can convert and filter rainwater and do so it can capture Mountain Dew water not quite Mountain Dew um but yeah so this is it's really cool it's kind of a really neat sustainable off-the-grid house and they were saying that you can ship it you can airlift it you can tow it you can even it can even be pulled by a pack animal so you could have like a couple of burros pulling that thing down a path that's good I got lots of burros the internet you have a lot of donkeys hanging around so they're hoping that this is in there the game is this is for vacation and or living off the grid nothing nothing really else not like Oh exploring other planets or because I mean obviously it's not liking yeah no I don't think it's for anymore like harsh conditions like it's not I wouldn't imagine it's not like rated to survive like a tsunami or something like that i'm i would imagine it'd be the same as any other house in fact maybe a little more dangerous cuz it's not like on a foundation right it's not hooked to a foundation but it sleeps one person so its own person so it seems like it's a really great thing for somebody who wants to maybe do some adventuring live off the grid check out places of the world that maybe they want to live in for up to a year and and i like that it is eco-friendly live off the grid you don't need a lot of you know extra power and hearing your solar right from the side so they had a toilet yeah what's the deal with that well I'd imagine it's the same as an RV same type of thing as an RV so you got a little yeah there's a little toilet on top left corner and then it goes where well there's a huge way it's like an RV so - Matt I would imagine because they haven't unveiled it officially yet it's gonna get unveiled at this event called the pioneers festival in Vienna I like this week and but I would imagine it's like an RV where you have like a tank and then you have to empty it safely oh you can't just dump it anywhere you want great um but yeah there's I would imagine you have to you have to pump it the same as an RV okay so it's a little bit on the learning curve it's obviously they haven't released the price they do want to take pre-orders later this year and then they want to ship them sometime next year so this is like something that they're hoping to bring the market very very soon and they haven't announced a full price for it but did say shipping would be about $2,500 to New York so if but then again I mean for me it's like why would you want to ship this thing to the states like I would want to pick it up and like Vienna and take it somewhere remote like there's not a lot of whole there's not a lot real remote places in the US like you're not maybe living off the ground like desert that's about it desert and maybe like some parts of Montana are probably pretty remote like there's some maybe not farm life fields things that are remote but not there's not a whole lot of remote places in the US and I would imagine a lot of the remote places are places you would not be able to take that thing and live off the grid like like national parks you can't just ride that thing up the mountain and start staying there so but I thought it was really cool and I thought about I saw so many people talking about this online and I wanted to talk to him about it with you guys in you and use it as our hashtag of the day which will be TV eco cap on and I want to know where would you live if you could live anywhere in the world in this thing like where would you take it where would you live off the grid for a year like if you if they said okay we're gonna pay you whatever you make in a year to go live off the grid somewhere like all of your expenses are covered and you're gonna live off the grid like where'd you go I wanted to live intra noble but that doesn't you know you can't protect itself from anything does seem a little bit dangerous yeah oh no this Savannah thing out with some animals all right like that I don't I don't know how this is any different than actually having like an RV with solar panels on top of it well it's much smaller okay oh it's a small house with no wheels yeah there's no Angela's wheels there's no engine it's active month okay well that's my answer then the Savannah Savannah okay I would say I kind of like the idea of like living in a like the mountains in like Bavaria I get the mountainous kind of areas nice we live in a nice area like that I get nice views good weather probably go K weather get a lot of enough rain but enough Sun to sort of sustain the the solar and wind power it's also wind powered so maybe some some wind eNOS would be good but yeah I would say like around there I I seem like I feel like I would like that but where would you live where'd you take it where'd you wear would you live off the grid for a year it's or you know if you really hate this thing tell us what you hate about it tell us what's not going to work about it but yeah TD eco cap to eco capsule you can find it online I think it's cool I really like it but tell me about this driving thing because it sounds insane it's not it's actually really boring so we're moving on to the next story which is no we have to talk about your I'm just kidding it's not boring so you you know that people are just scratching the surface of what can be done with VR and people are just trying all different types of things well Castrol is getting on top of this by actually having a driver where vr while he's driving an actual car so he can drive in a simulated space there's a lot of moving parts to this including a car a Mustang what is it like six six eighty or something like that so it's incredibly dangerous that he's doing this so let me let me kind of outline first of all this is like an advertisement thing that they're doing but it doesn't make it any less cool because it puts like two months of works to get this one video going all right Wow look at that so they asked formula formula draft driver Matt powers to drive his rush stage three Mustang around a test track while wearing this oculus rift they would simulate in things like falling rocks cliff dropping collapsing track and worst of all he's driving this actual car now as you can see they had to do a lot of program because they basically did turn the car into a controller it's got like light sensors on the front to see where he's moving it reads his acceleration his brakes it reads everything it turned his car into a controller he had to drive this many many times to get used to the like VR because he said at one point he would turn and his head was turned a different way than it was actually in the VR so there was a lot of stuff that went into doing this um powers said the driver said orginal drift was exhilarating and challenging like nothing I've ever done before it's been awesome not being in it's a it's been awesome not only being involved and testing the next generation of gaming technology but also the possibilities that open opens up Motorsports in general are mind-blowing so yeah there you go I basically you can go check this out this is the making of video they also have the official video that they made but it's incredible to see the they were two months to get all of it calibrated so this guy didn't crash and die while making this video so it's pretty cool it's part of a series called titanium trials this is only one of many but this is the one that had to do with virtual reality we think this is really cool and also very dangerous variable I can't believe how they show this like virtual world and it looks like kind of a big disk that is it's it's like a track but it's it's crazy looks like a real weird future just topia planet that you would see in like thor like it's a really creepy sort of landscape and then he's in this amazing must it's weird they could have just had him driving around on the car and then simulated it like it looked like he was driving it they're like oh no no we want him to beat like like look like it for him to look like he's in the virtual reality and make him drive a car at the same time really he's the one experiencing this the most but just they wanted to overcome this hurdle and see if they could do it and they did it so check out both of those videos that is amazing I love this titanium Charles changing back and forth between the real world and like you can see exactly what he's doing in the virtual yeah there oh man oh the cool we'll never be able to do this because we don't drive so there you go anyway so go check that out good job Castro yeah that's that's pretty amazing I love that story also now I know what it would be like if anybody ever strapped on oculus rift and try to use it while driving which seems like the worst idea two months 17 months all right don't do that okay last story I'll make it quick this comes from a German ad agency called gutes webbing and service plan and it's called the trade typer and if you've ever been to you get a fast-food on you your little food tray you don't want to get your smartphone you want to get a bunch of grease all over your phone that's alright because they have these paper trays that have bluetooth capability built into the paper so that you can have a little keyboard in your paper tray what what in the world yeah they're calling it tray typer there it is you all you have to do is you activate the tray and then you enter a password to connect it to your phone and then as you're eating you can go ahead and type on your little type on a little tray and it'll type on your phone and you can post the social you can do all sorts of stuff yeah super weird but also one of those things up you know how when you saw it kind of old oh yeah that was the other thing they said a hundred percent of people who got these at during the promotional time they gave these out in Germany at KFC's everybody took them home they're like I'm gonna take this thing thank you yeah free technology you're kidding me free Bluetooth keyboard I guess the grease on the actual paper probably didn't matter to them cuz you know sometimes there's like it looks slightly plasticky a little bit yeah does it look full well I said there were paper paper liners but they probably they probably had sort of a middle layer oh it's so bad like this is so weird no it's so bad because it's like we want people to stop eating fast food and we also want people to like get their nose out of technology and like actually experience these guys and this place is like yo get fat get big technology yeah yeah you can do both the keyboard is 0.4 millimeters thick so it's not thick at all and it's super cool the ad agency said it was a huge success yeah here success we they did some geolocation I kind of research I'm like where people you they said that social went way up at these locations of these KFC locations where they have the paper tray so it was a very big success you can imagine though going into a KFC and then everybody's eating all their food I'm doing this like well I guess right now they're treating our food and they're doing this like they're looking at their phone while they're eating so yeah but a lot of the times I have to put my phone down and just like wow whatever I'll just look around and oh hey that you know this no there's a giant elephant over there no now you can walk an elephant right through a KFC and nobody will notice that's true how's a true story on yeah so Trey typer so weird but also really cool and I kind of am Lima cool I want to check it out like I wish we have that here in the states I think that would be pretty rare and you definitely steal it I would definitely take it home it's it's a souvenir it's a great souvenir you take it home you're like look at this crazy piece of technology I would bring it on the show if I could if you live in Germany and you have one send it to us and we'll send it back but like let us borrow it because I want to do stole it we're gonna steal it to Fahrenheit so that's our headlines we're gonna take a quick break but before we go you guys have to see this video it's an art installation you know how they always say like tinder is kind of a meat market okay then dating apps kind of a meat market well they had these these art students actually made IP a stake a raw steak that swipes right on tinder so check out the scrap welcome back to the show we've returned because we didn't have a show on Monday I decided maybe we should do back there Hackett today so do you wanna hear about something fun yes hey do it okay so some complaints about drones is that they're really fragile uh they are easy to like if they crash usually like you could have some real big problems um and this is the sprite drone this is called the sprite drum and they're saying this is a really rugged it's kind of weird-looking it's a really rugged powerful easy to use and and prosumer esque like has kind of prosumers gear on it and it's a drone so it's about the size of a thermos like a large thermos so it's not huge but it is bigger than I thought when I had seen it by itself floating in the sky I'm like oh this looks like it's the size of Ganga snow it's a little bigger than that so yeah I can see how big that is right there they compared to the size of the guys arm and it's got remote controls it has follow mode so you can tell it to follow you you can put you know tell it to tell to follow you there's the following you and then there's also a detailed app where you can program exactly you know where points of interest you can tell it oh I want you to make this route on a map which is kind of neat and yeah it's really durable so when it falls in the ground you just go pick it up and use it again it's got two axis gimbal on it they want you to be able to add accessories to it as they build things for it so they want you to be able to unscrew it in half and then add an accessory into the middle as like a middle ring accessory nice and then they have already fortunately met their goal this is part of the app that we're looking at right now that says like okay the here's where I want you to go this is what I want to check out the camera on it's good it's a 1080p camera they were saying they want professional like they're they consider this a tool not a toy they're like you don't need to bring you know if you don't want to bring a remote control you can just use you can program what you want it to do and you can switch out the batteries really easily and all this other stuff so here's that's this is the meet of the product itself it's got a camera on there and it takes nice footage I would say just from what I've seen the footage is not as stable as the DJI phantom 3 the one that we saw on into it Mike's Phantom right but but I would imagine that's because it the Phantom has it's a 3 axis gimbal so there's the accessory thing you can screw on in the middle so they're saying as time goes on we want to be able to add these accessories they have already met their $200,000 goal they've already met it there they've crossed it by about $13,000 they've got about 213 k 17 days left in the kickstarter campaign and how much would you pay for this oh I consider the cost of a drone like the the DJI phantom 3 is starts at $9.99 $700 oh you're so close good yes $7.99 okay that's you it gets you sprite it comes with a free software but no RC transmitter so if you want one with an RC if the remote to the transmitter yeah you have to pay nine forty nine which is only $50 less than the phantom right so but this one's durable very rugged it's really good for it seems very outdoor like outdoorsman people who are hiking and doing sort of adventurous things but I thought it was really impressive that they sort of put this together and it seems like they're really making something different which I like you're like different I'm cool with a competitive drone market yeah everybody everyone wins when drones get competitive not with each other in the violent sense but business-wise everybody wins I I'm sorry for your not clarifying that up front okay um but yeah so sprite room that's what it's called would you back it I mean yeah sure I really don't have any investment in the whole drone world like I died first of all I don't have the disposable income to have thing to fly around and shoot video for me I that's that's not a bit super amazing but if you did with my dish so would you get a like like a phantom or a more traditional the phantom won't follow you to have you tell to high that I'm not sure of but there are ones that do have follow modes okay I'd probably do this one Fargo especially if they could get one that like you could periscope on two so you could like go hiking and like have people follow you or you like that walk around a convention and it flies and follows you around or something so wise so yeah that's really clever and I think you just changed my mind I was gonna say no but I think that if they can work out an accessory that would allow you to livestream I think I would do I need a camera anymore just you and your little sprite yeah you get around you can live streaming YouTube on um you can lash her into YouTube on the phantom like that so you can send videos oh so that's a head so yeah but I I think this is right I think that if you like drones and you're kind of an outdoorsy person who worries about crashing your drone and breaking it and making and spending a thousand dollars and they get completely inoperable with one you know minor crash maybe this is the drone I I think it's I think this is a useful drone because there's different drones for different reasons affectionate right now so like the Phantom is gonna get your beautiful sweeping city shots and your coastlines and this one's gonna be like let's go hooking I think you mean fall one hundred forty seven hours away but are 487 hours and you're caught it's just floating there catching footage and it well then the whole hours I say then the whole movies already done you just sell the rights to your footage and then all of a sudden you have a blockbuster oscar-winning film there you go problem solved guys problem soft unless you in fact die I would in the middle of desert which would be bad somebody would definitely take your footage and get rich off of it so I guess it's a win I don't know um but yeah sprite drone that's what it's called has about to a little over two weeks left so if you are so inclined you have the extra cash in your pocket go for it pretty good okay we got to talk about go talk about cheaters got to talk about all right yesterday okay yeah all right let's hear about your user feedback so yesterday we asked really going on on the YouTube so I'm gonna get that one while you I pulled some from YouTube oh did you get okay yet for tomorrow too because because we're gonna be a I oh where did you cheat me today you're gonna die oh because yeah okay we're gonna do cheaters for two days so today's today's user feedback comes from Tony we asked you guys to say what should cheaters do to get back in the good graces or should they be let back in and Tony says they should be made to do the Ghost Pepper challenge I like that make him suffer too easy little too easy too easy okay Dustin Roden said cheaters that repent should be let back in the game with stats reduced to beginner level for a clean slate oh they wouldn't do it then yeah I feel like they wouldn't do it cuz that's the same as buying a new account yeah I new cap yeah um and then uh I can't I'm gonna push your name and I'm really sorry cuz I think it is a lovely name written down remet remedies remedies remedies I'm guessing says I agree with Kayla but they should also have and I am a cheat by their gamertag they should get like a scarlet letter next there I like that actually that's pretty good yeah like that one I like that cuz then it's like you kind of know maybe something's up with the sky yeah but then you know it's like we're it's like you know those parents so punish their kids put them Megan put on a sandwich sign this like I did this bad thing or those weird blogs that people are like the dogs confessing to terrible things they've done like this like that it's like that but with people I like that you guys have really good ones we have more tomorrow we're like four more tomorrow I pulled some from YouTube I braved the nippy canals of YouTube and I grabbed some comments first but it's better it's been a real muck fest over there it's well lately but there's some good ones in there are some really I'm saying it's like when I find those people I'm like I will pull you from the muck come with me okay to take you away from this place um so yeah you guys had really good ones will do cheats again tomorrow and then we'll do the eco cap and tomorrow's hashtag of the day on Monday um but with that being said we got to talk about our very last PC user feedback which is always our phone tog refer the day aditya wrote us and said that they took this picture with their galaxy note 4 and they said wanted to share this photo which I took using my samsung galaxy note 4 it's a hanging bridge over the river Seon near a place called teaching in a Runa shawl pradesh india so that's better walk that bridge tell me in the story it says he didn't say I said I hope you guys both like it you guys are rock you better if you ever watch that bridge you go back that bridge right now he walked out bridge he walk across it you know no you don't fall in because if you don't fall in you can't message us and tell us you didn't tells you did I
