Tomorrow Daily - Mini's AR glasses go from your car to the streets, Ep 165

2015-04-21
on today's show a creepy humanoid robot that can read your facial expressions Disney's 3d printer that uses fabric instead of plastic and some AR goggles that you're supposed to wear while you drive around so it's weird can't possibly go wrong Mauro daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm Ashley see how the join me as always kill anonymous then you beat me to it but yes that is your name ok I'm so happy yeah cuz we get to talk about AR today so I'm very excited about me too and it's really cool and futuristic as all they are as yet as all our show is so let's have headlines alright so let's let's jump right into this augmented reality because I've actually been tracking this story for a while ok so this is a brand-new AR technology we've seen microsoft's hololens ok but now and we've also seen google glass who cares but now BMWs decided to make some AR goggles goggles that glass is AR goggle they look like all the time II pilot goggles and you're supposed to wear them not only while you're walking around and doing stuff but also while you drive cuz BMW yes seems dangerous there's some pretty cool tech a lot of stuff that google glass promised us but a little bit more enhance so let me talk about what's being shown off in this video a little bit in case you're not hearing it ok so you put on these doofy looking goggles it looks like you're gonna get in a sidecar in a motorcycle and put on a scarf yeah it looks it looks pretty dorky but she put on these goggles they're really cool you one of these goggles and there's a lot of features that you wouldn't expect from driving goggles ok for one I when you're looking around you have like live gps it'll show you up in your just up wherever you're looking like to turn left to turn right also you don't really have blind spots anymore because i'll let you see through the car because for these goggles they're built to work with your Mini Cooper Oh your man Cooper will have cameras on the side so that you can basically see through your car it really is a lot to promise and they're saying that it's not available right now so kind of a concept but that there it's coming sooner than we might think which i think is the case for all AR every single AR it's going to just pop up on your desk area code I think by this year we'll start seeing the consumer one like next year it'll start like it'll blow up and up yeah once people get over their watches I think you're right I felt like I think that you're right and that AR is gonna be like the consumer technology that people like everyday people use because it gives you that sort of like you were saying with the poster it's like oh it's sold out or oh there's tickets you can buy tickets like it gives people at sort of everyday experience as opposed to VR where it's like go hang out in Jurassic Park like it it's accentuating your reality that should be accentuates reality she waits um but yeah so another one of the things that they showed off in this so they've been working on this since 2009 which is crazy actually much longer six years but one of the things they show off in one of their old timey videos was that you can put on the goggles and it'll give you like a step-by-step tutorial on how to like fix your car it'll make it so you see your engine and it's like 3d and it'll be like then remove the muffler and then it'll like vision like especially remove the muffler and you're like oh why am I removing my muffler but it's it's like an x-ray vision so they're like trying to make your car like a whole nother interactive sort of experience that's crazy so that brings us to the today today is the TD of the day so this is the question that we have for you our hashtag is TD cars and we want to know from you our lovely viewer what's the extra tech you come up with for your driving experience would you like to add to your driving experience if you could in the future if you want to join BMW and help them come out with something else what would you want uh who that's a really tough one I think I would want the ability to I'd want my car to be able to like okay so for really getting hypothetical here I'm assuming at some point Hyperloop is gonna be real because these are my dreams and I want it to happen really bad so I would like the ability to just link my really awesome car to the Hyperloop and just like shoot my car up to like San Francisco in six minutes oh oh you're going extremely always I'm all in on this like future world like I want to be able to drive my little car up to my little tiny like you know the BMW like Q of the three the foot is a three or is a super tiny like a mini you drive it up it's like a little capsule car and that you they just shoots it out of the Hyperloop so that I could just say time travel no the Hyperloop it's not time travel I'm just saying if we're going that extreme oh yeah you got a sick time travel all right I think Hyperloop is more likely than time travel but ok fine time I think maybe like a nice of some sort of beverage serving one I know that that seems like super but all with all of these how often people drink coffee and how little people actually drink the amount of water they're supposed to drink a day if the car was kind of an assistance in that and I know it's like super bougie for me to pick that is really Bujji what hey this is my choice killing it or not I'm not like well I want it to drive me to places i mean my lungs you're gonna get something like that but if you were like you're driving around I want to stop and go and get water all right all right just say push press the button and the cup pops out yeah little cup to spend just like vending machines just pops out puts your coffee in there and then it goes well wanna be I wanted I don't want to stop at star because it'll be so driving at that point anyway so you I won't even matter you just sit there read the paper I shot all about all the likes of your classes yet not yet nope you don't trust them not yet all right fair that's why I'm like ultra this is something I trust that it won't screw up we have drink making robots I trust my car to make my drink my stuff okay I gotta tell you about Han I guess hon it could be hand I'm gonna sue matan no relation to solo this is from Hanson robotics they introduce this new and it's probably hands super creepy robot there he is named han han de robot named creepy uncle me pay it named super creepy robot face with clear body he made his debut at the Global Sources electronics fair in Hong Kong and his face is made of this material that Hanson robotics calls and this is not a joke rubber which is short for flesh rubber which are two words that I would never like to see next to each other in a sentence again in my life it's really lifelike and creepy and it's like we said it's mounted on a clear body which is also super weird but okay now we're getting into the robotics part of what he's able to do so yeah I don't like that skin that's really weird me he is programmed to recognize and interact with people in front of him so they will interview him they're asking him questions like where were you born if he gives pretty boilerplate answers kind of standard like sort of robotic answers but he can maintain eye contact because he has tracking devices in him that enables him to maintain eye contact with you he can identify your facial expressions and respond in kind so if you're angry he might give you a s'more of a soft look to try to soothe your anger things like that at 40 motors underneath that really creepy face mask that is controlling him voice recognition and they were saying it's potentially the use case for this would be like kind of a customer service robot in hotels museums like four tours tour guides things like that and they are actually this is going to be a commercialized robot they will be bringing a version of this robot to commercial markets however it will be a female robot named ava which if it's any indicator if Han is any indicator I am already frightened of and they are going into production full production later this year so much sooner than most people would imagine that's so these people their tech is not just the rubber but also the robotics yes okay and what's what's the what's the programming behind his like reactions and interactions and supply so he has like sensors and everything that's sort of like he has voice recognition so he's able to sort of talk back to people ask him questions but they're really simple questions so he doesn't have like an AI that's really intelligent if they're all kind of pre-programmed answers that I would imagine you would kind of like in a cut in service situation you go to a hotel and say I'd like to check in and it would sort of hear those words check in and say okay you'd like to check in like blah blah sort of like a when you call a customer service line of the phone it's like what would you like to do today and you have to tell it and then it says oh you'd like a representative like give me one minute so I think it would be something really similar to that they ever seen Total Recall and Johnny but that's what this looks like hi I'm Johnny bots and he drives a cab around yeah it's not it's it's the uncanny valley like this really small they should have picked a guy that looks like he could beat my butt like yeah join me looks like but I will say this this kind of technology because they want it to be customer service it would be really cool if they were to use it in a place like Disneyland and make it a character from like a movie so if it was like Mickey Mouse and he worked customer service any call and you go to a resort you're like making where's the bathroom haha don't know I'm told have a magical day and then he strangles you because robots are terrifying this is five nights at Freddy's but no it's a variance oh my god thank you finish your Logan there's Johnny bot just creepy and gross this is Johnny but so my postal look older brother and fun and helpful and it just you don't you know you're not dealing with a real human big and it's we're fine but I'm telling you if they make it look like a cake like if you're interacting with like Indiana Jones and he's tellin ya be really cool the buffet opens at 11am but that was hate me awesome does that take you out of it though like to have him say like Merle the buffers over his way cuz he's Harrison Ford and it's like you don't want Herod you got Indiana Jones telling you were the buffet by this time they will have figured it out they've got that that turtle talk crushed yeah yeah where they already have technology where they can they can talk to people luck if they get that going I am so in Kayla's I am totally in for that they already have talking Mickey Mouse's i don't know why i'm trying to sell it to disney but i'm telling you if they're gonna do customer service they need to make it a characterized so that it finds a friendly face yeah I see it it's approachable it's really approachable and people want to interact with it you have to make it so people don't you something fake alright so there you go creepy still speak speaking of Disney you actually pretty provided with an excellent segue speaking of Disney Disney research yeah get her in that check we had pay you in quarters um we do pay kalyan quarters uh so Disney research has a 3d printer that I thought was pretty interesting it actually is using fabric to 3d print which is weird and cool they're trying to make pliable sort of soft or at least semi rigid objects for 3d printing and so this 3d printer uses fabrics as its main material so it's going to make a little rabbit ok so this 3d printers going to make it a little rabbit and what it does is instead of a traditional 3d printer where you have it printing layer after layer of plastic it's actually it you can see it what it's doing right now it is a laser that is cutting the outline of every single layer of this rabbit from a roll of felt like a really big role of felt and then heat sensitive adhesive gets applied between every layer so as they build it's like okay layer got it this is sped up time seven but it's like okay layer laser cut it add this layer of like adhesive warm it so that it becomes adhesive because it's not adhesive until it gets heat heat it up and then they keep adding over and over and over again until they have this sort of 3d printed 3d printed soft object but one of the neat things about this is that it is multi-material so this 3d printer can use two different types of fabric and a single object making it possible for things like a embedding circuit prints into pieces of fabric so you're able to sort of make things connected you can make Internet of Things objects you could make things that have circuit boards ingrained in them which is pretty cool so yeah it's they made a two and a half inch tall rabbit two and half hours do we have the finished result I think so i think we have it stored the end of the video so there it is it's a little too little tiny rabbit so they did buddy they did bunny print tests primer is a test this is expedient look at soft though so that's the thing that's kind of crazy lets me look I was really expecting something better will do what's not that this not that there's anything wrong I get that it's layered and it's soft yeah that's pretty cool so here's the interesting game you totally made the point of what what I was about to say next which is they were saying we know that it looks super weird and not it looks really rough when it's small but a larger print the layers because the layers have to be a certain thickness because they're using felt they can't have it super fine and they can't sand the edges of it so they said the bigger the item is the smoother all the edges would be and look so they're like if we made something a rabbit that was much bigger it would look much better it's just and it would be much smoother because the size of the felt makes it so that smaller objects looks a lot rougher I can see this being used for like cosplay or something like that kazakh rangers nicely like um custom toys out like if you know they've got look oh yeah like so that's where you can put in like foreign types of electronics to make them interactive your custom and toys and a gift shop idea was some that I had but the flaw how long did that take to make that ugly little bundle they said two and a half hours so does ours for this let's say you're out of theme park and you're there for the week or you can order it beforehand and pick it up when you go there so that would be a good thing you could model it online in a little program send it to the park and then you would pick it up at the park and that would be like your big souvenir for this for the time anyway it's just something I know it's something about yeah I like period Disney's doing it doing these really like weird sort of interactive kind of projects that are like whoa look at this yeah like this so that's a fabric they're able to communicate with what this board inside the fabric to like make the eyes light up or like you know LED light up and stuff it's pretty cool pretty awesome super flexible but I yeah I can see the interesting beginning yeah interesting be very interesting that they're showing it off so boldly yes very much this is all the stuff because you're like let's go with this all right so that work that's it for the headlines we will be back its new release day so we have all kinds of crazy stuff with it with the caveat oh it's kind of better tank but um that and then we of course have your user feedback and our photog refer the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show it's Tuesday well we are always excited about Tuesday's because we

shovel knight is so much like old retro games but in the best ways the soundtrack is amazing the game plays incredible the controls are so good like this is literally a modern it's not even a

a blu-ray release it's a combo pack break in and break into electric boogaloo good attic yes if you have take that Sh all night if you listen if you haven't seen break in or break break into electric boogaloo i'd say is the bigger classic but if you haven't seen these movies like they're hilariously bad in all the best ways and it's all like battles like everybody fights by breakdancing it just listen guys just see this movie that's all I'm telling you but it's out on blu-ray and it's a combo pack and it's a great party buddy see in this movie I've seen rigan too okay and I've see I've seen parts of break in one but I haven't seen the whole visit four by three it looks like I'm sure it is I but it's it's out on blu-ray what what's the pros of having it on blu-ray listen four by three nice SD listen it doesn't matter like it you can watch break into on YouTube and you'll still get the amount of joy meant enjoyment that you could get watching in a blu-ray I'm just letting you know that if your film enthusiasts you must own this cup of if you're a filament there's yes you have to have break into I totally agree with that I think Leonard Maltin like a good look at this it's amazing it's amazing it's timeless is it really doesn't exist in any time period that anyone should have ever ever exactly um but look at the transfer is really good thats all HD and stuff I mean it's yeah you gotta gotta check it out so good it's bad so bad it's good so good as bad it could be either um but just FYI those are your new releases okay we got to talk about what you guys have to say about yesterday's episode so it is time for using feedback there will never be a good segue for that for that ever especially not break into you can't say way out of that without I mean taking a dip in quality just how it is sorry um yesterday we asked you guys use the hashtag TD nail to tell us what kind of technology would want on your nail well you want this touching a very strange question so I assume the answers are just a straight super weird but in all good ways Frank wrote and said I want an apple pay on my nail quick and easy way to pay cuz time is gold I like a pink okay I like many of them a photoshop it it really makes me believe that they they really want it to happen or they really want this joke because you took the time so good on you prank no matter what no matter what Michael wrote and said the ability to shave quick and easy TD nail no razor no blood look how would that work we just tap your finger and your hair falls out of your face thank you musically just go like this and it like maybe sends an electrical signal it's like electrolysis yee-hoo Gucci no I like that it's just very scary to have a razor on your oh he said no razor no were so saying he said hashtag no razor all right i'll buy it I Andres hay-soos wrote and said nail thermometer you have the flu and you suck your thumb to know if you need to call your mom for some chicken noodle soup I think you go step further and say if you have a fever it automatically notifies your mom and says you need you can't fake school and you can't fake it to go to like you can't be Ferris Bueller then no there's none of that sorry guys what you have no ditch days you'd hack it you could definitely hack into your nail your cyber now your cyborg nail your Bionic nail and then we got an email from Chris and said the thumbnail is a great place to put a passive NFC chip so your phone unlocks when you pick it up which is a better option than the NFC tattoo unless you put the tattoo on your thumbnail brilliant it's a pretty good one that's a good one I like that one a lot NFC NFC right you can also do the pay thing to in that fantasy yeah yes boop boop you're using it to like scan a bunch of stuff otherwise I got burned on it's your business card in your thumbnail business cards transfers it's such a we can you imagine to business manner like they're like that's great videos do business well now you just scan it over your life your phone is gonna be the others know then you have a thumb war and whoever wins you get the data I like that you get all the business you can all business uh so

my phone my phone it's alright judge great well and get well cuz he's got spring fever yeah you have spring fever that's that's serious if you had a touchscreen iron nail you could suck your thumb get some chicken noodle soup through weird um if you guys want to send over your phone tog raphy if you would like sent over segment ideas story ideas whatever you want email us tomorrow at cnet com of course we are all over the internet on social media or tomorrow daily we're all be the internet well have a shop like spaghetti on the wall it's just just look for tomorrow daily facebook instagram
