2015-05-11

was gonna do that so it's good what's up everybody welcome tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk to another new verse I'm Ashley Skeletor me as always kill anonymous I should have known that was coming and I didn't I an you caught me off guard but daddy knocked me right off right off balance ok so you're a Nintendo fan girl I don't even think I don't even think we we there is no BS ism we just go right into this let's do it hit the headlines all right we got to talk about Nintendo okay last week Nintendo and and universal of all plate universal studios of all places announced a partnership to bring Nintendo franchise characters and attractions to universal theme parks around the globe Oh finally whoa um obviously if you've ever been to universal studios orlando they have they've got a pretty awesome harry potter wizarding world that you can go visit and it's pretty great i have not been but i've heard it's unbelievable so here's what they are going to do so they said they want to bring quote immersive experiences unquote that will include major attractions at universal theme parks featuring a nintendo games and characters they have theme parks in here in california right down the street they have Universal Studios Hollywood universal studios orlando they also have osaka and singapore so therefore park so it's not just gonna be united states no and i would imagine like a lot of the nintendo stuff you might see that in osaka first depending on who builds it the quickest acaba de sintra have no sin Tendo so um so yeah they they did not reveal a whole lot of info but i found this video from youtube on youtube from PokePark which is apparently it was a japanese pokemon theme theme park you said was it was i don't think it exists anymore i think they think I've closed the PokePark um but the PokePark i saw this video and it just I thought it was hilarious there's like all sorts of Pokemon themed rides okay sure beyond the reaction of it's about time that does Nintendo land exists yeah in any shady shape we need shape or form yeah one to ten what is your excitement level on it 15 at least 15 okay now now what what is so exciting about a Nintendo land park so I think and beyond you being like into Nintendo yeah I think for me uh universal has a really great opportunity here to not only do you know a you know mario kart or is legend of zelda roller coaster like a themed roller coaster or two I think they really have an opportunity to like do Universal Studios Mushroom Kingdom like they could do like Harry Potter wizarding world they could do Universal Studios Mushroom Kingdom are you like walk around and there's like little toads area all of cashiers the restaurants that stuff hey little toad hats everybody works they got a little toad outfits they're all totes I think we all in our minds in magic can already imagine what it looks like oh yeah many different rides I gotta say if you need a park designer call us these the the characters and worlds are so iconic they buy everyone they are like people that don't even play video games this is like a gigantic ranch eyes that needs that is never has related to exist imagine getting to go to like the gift shop and buy a little foam master sword and a link hat and run around and now you know there's take our money it sticker money it's unbelievable and you know you can maybe they have a new game that comes out you can play it first there well and of course of course there's gonna be three DS streetpass spots they're gonna do I mean they're really gonna capitalize I would imagine on things like that so I think I love the idea of being able to go to universal studios and play a game that hasn't been released yet you know or you can only play it here why I will say that what I was confused at first that it was universal studios and then you said that there's a reason why so this is pretty interesting um right now in universal studios orlando and i don't know how it is it here in Hollywood because they don't have as much space but in Orlando they actually have Marvel characters walking around the park and they also have attractions Marvel attractions they have they have restaurants that are Marvel think they kind of have a land that's marble theme yeah it's a superhero land yeah it's a superhero line but they have actual ex-fighter man and j jonah Jameson like they've got characters from the Marvel Universe in that area of universal studios but now that Disney owns marvel Disney obviously does not want those characters in another theme park they want them in Disney World they want them in Disneyland they don't want them in universal studios if you don't know in florida disney world is right here and then Universal Studios right here yeah and then when people travel they like oh I'm gonna go see the Marvel character universal studio and there's been rumors going around that Disney has wanted to open a Marvel theme park like its own theme park sort of like they have you know the they've like blizzard beach and then they have you know all the different animal kingdom and like all the stuff they there's been rumors they want to do a superhero-themed kind of theme park in Florida not here but but yeah I mean this is a great way for Disney to kind of n mart and universal to kind of both get out of that agreement while still looking good so Disney can't really force universal out of out of their contracts they held previously I believe in you universal studios I think you'll do a great job your Islands of Adventure theme park is my favorite theme park your harry potter land is unbelievable so I'm very excited about this but I think what we want to know from you guys is our hashtag of the day yes it is TD Nintendo it's not TD Nintendo it's not it is ok I thought we'd do it ok so with all the potential and all the excitement that we get out of this we want to know what sort of attractions do you expect or would like to see we wanted to get out of the way some of the obvious ones a Mario don't you're not wise it's exciting you're not allowed to use Mario Kart don't guys don't let's not going leave me negativity it's too easy so Mario Kart that would be fun that would be I mean the best ever uh producer Logan what was one of yours green ooze lions yeah he wants the green tube and a slide so so i would say that like maybe a Hyrule roller coaster like alleged Zelda roller coaster okay Mike get get get real Korea dig deep into the Nintendo catalog purchase your CD okay I I want these great ideas to come like it because there are obvious there are the obvious choices the Mart mario karts the you know the roller coasters have we're not like a metroid one where you go into a like a ball roll around and stuff like that that would be awesome that very pretty cool there's tons I would love to see I'd love to see you super smash brothers one where you'd like it's like a simulation type thing where you dress up as the character and it's like a VR cimmyt hours you know we're gonna go by the time the fix this things made what like five years from now I don't be longer than that maybe it might even be longer it depends on what they're building it could be if it's a whole new land if it's a whole new area it could be five to ten years but so there's your question a lot sooner TD Nintendo but going off of what i just said where you know you simulate that your simulations yeah you simulate where your super smash brothers it actually leads into our next story where this is actually happening I'm so excited all right you ready for this I am so stoked so whatever virtual reality headset you have right now it's garbage throw it out it's kept it compared to this new thing coming out called void now this is an experience imagine like you'd go to a laser tag arena but this is like 4d you put on a VR headset and they put you in this room it's just a plant it's like playing walls but you basically are walking around inside the world yeah you don't know because you have a VR headset on so void stands for vision of infinite dimension it is a plan to open a virtual virtual entertainment centers around the globe that uses VR to immerse people in a fully-realized location based game yep so I men they've already projected so many different types of worlds haunted castles dinosaur safaris futuristic battlefields I think they have like a lord of the rings tyldus type type thing yeah um what's really crazy first of all they're using their own headset it's called rapture it's got quantum dot curbed 00 LED display custom up optics THX headphones so it's surrounds town and movie review microphone for Team chat and sensors for spatial and head tracking so you actually know where you are yeah and then the game knows where you are which is awesome yeah so it's it's it's basically a completely fully immerse simulation vr lasers right there uh they're simulating rain by actually like dripping water oh so it's like a full experience either there's people looking look you look goofy but you think you look like a robot person um so this is something yeah look there there's all that crazy sim like flight sim things yeah the void so they're hoping to bring it all over the world like open up these little places all over the world like these little arenas and you go in and I love this little light on you playing yeah a little plane landed i got a horror game um what I am super jazzed about this sounds like the next level of an attraction and I could see this being used in like theme parks is simple it's like VR LARPing yeah look at this so you can go with your friends and kill some dragon cuz right now there's a big thing um there's a big thing in Los Angeles and kind of all over the world called escape rooms and go to a room and you guys have to it's like the steam room and you have to try and get out but this is like putting it in a VR world this is actually doing what we wanted with VR yeah this is like the peppery thing we've imagined with VR and you go and you just play and then you go home my only concern is it all sounds too good to be true and I'm just scared that like is it not never gonna live up to my level of heightened my not time that this stuff kind no it's absolutely time I mean they had like VRC like actually frozen toys dragon on ya know it's great and I love that they can sort of create a space in which like in this room they can basically recycle corridors over and over again and make you look like you're in a completely different spot they changed it out a month by month or whatever yeah it just means you I mean you could do licensing stuff I mean it would be unreal to be able to do something yeah I think it's I think it's pretty it's pretty easy I mean as long as they're making their money back money that's the big daddy that's the big thing how much do you think it was weird that they're not like collaborating with like oculus to like step that up instead they're using a router on proprietary yeah bright airy heads over curved OLED isn't cheap I know I'm doc curved OLED zar not cheap this is not it this is not a cheap thing yeah so how much would you pay to go on this experience I'm just curious uh let's say it's an hour long experience or make let's see even actually no because they've got to put bodies through the door they got to get teams through the door so let's say it's 20 min how much did you pay it wouldn't be 20 minutes half hour let's say an hour okay listen I think that's because if you're only putting in like three or four people in the room at a time because you won't be by yourself uh why assume maybe they'd have like two or three males so okay and I think they'd have to do so let's say an hour hundred dollars you pay a hundred bucks for an hour maybe maybe a little bit more I'm depending on what the experience was just say it's like the escape rooms it depends on the quality of the escape room like some of them are kind of not as good and so you pay like 50 bucks for it but then I think for a really high quality experience the most i'd pay is like one fifth actually I do every single experience if they had it and it was like well you'd have two hundred two hundred dollars like I would do every single experience give me a groupon especially especially if they give you a video afterwards of like you like you're going around reactive like that this is 0 this is the next level entertainment that I think a lot of us have wanted and also has been in books like ready player one stuff like that so see very cool sorry to talk so much about that but I am sooo it's it's amusement park day I know it is amusement park day well I now we are going to leave the amusement parks get on a bus and go go on a field trip we're gonna go on a field trip are you ready to go on a field trip it's time for your this is going to start the week off in it you're gonna feel really good but aside from the other three stories which are awesome but this is gonna make you feel good about people um so this is not necessarily new technology but I just love this right up front this is an ad there's an ad campaign from Huggies but it helped somebody and it's pretty touching and adorable um so there's this woman and she is blind and she's been blind I think since she was 17 she's pregnant with her son and she's about 20 weeks pregnant and she is on this video from huggies Brazil talking about what she imagines what he would look like and and so they took the ultrasound and they sent it over to a 3d printing company and they made at called three I think 3d are actually knows on 3d babies that's a different company but they sent it over to a company they 3d printed the the 3d scan of her son's face and so here's yeah there's like straight up printing it out this is like crazy science fiction stuff which i really i really love but there they helped her in this way so they sent her they gave her this actual 3d print out and it says on the bottom in Braille like I'm your son and so she was able to sort of see him oh yeah like it's like a variety of daredevil or so you know like touch somebody's face you can see what they look like yeah so um so she got to kind of meet him which is just adorable and delightful and and like I said the tech is not brand new there there are actual like straight-up companies regardless of you know what what oh they steal is they totally surprised her they gave her this beautiful little image of his son like look at how great that is and she was just so thrilled to get this and and like I said I mean it's again it's an ad campaign but i still love that they did something really nice for this lady because you know why she see him like it's it's delightful so she had to see him before he was even born which is fantastic and hopefully though maybe they'll do another one after he's born so should be able to search my pictures of him don't even like babies it's so adorable it's like 3d printing is giving people a way to sort of see pictures like she could fist bump him he's got a little fist up it but she like what's cool about this is you know people who are vision impaired or you know you can't really like pictures don't work you know you can't look at a picture but now with 3d printing you can have pictures she can document her kid's life in 3d printing and see what he looks like like every year of his life even she could do it you know like it's awesome like i love i love that that exists and i love that they did this for this lady and i hope they do it for lots more people huggies get on it do it for everyone so really it's delightful anyway I hope that made me feel really good about humanity cuz it did for me you're gonna do you need a tissue do you want you to take a break no I already gave all my emotions I got nothing left oh no I doubt that I think kels gonna have a cry uh we're gonna take a quick break when come back where we come back with back your hackett we're gonna really get weird good cool nothing's gonna be couch 'let honestly yeah that's probably true um but we're gonna come back but until then don't click away cuz it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we've returned nah cool you're just not you don't wanna be back you could continue indefinite break back to the weekends do it uh well it's a Monday which means they like take a look at a crowdfunding effort that may or may not come to life and we do that through back at her hackett pakka dragon alright so today you know I hate it when I see light bulbs and they're screwed into a socket like it really mad do is the most it's terrible like it's very upsetting but flight is looking to change that by making levitating induction base bulbs so this guy has been making his name's Simon Morris even making levitating stuff for different companies and all sorts of things for all in line and now he's decided to combine this sort of magnetic levitation effect with induction and so he has created flight which is a floating rotating light bulb that's amazing it's so cool looking like I mean what that that's so awesome you guys that is so cool I'm it's explain this explain okay so uh he like I said he's using do you remember Aurra the light up christmas lights that kind of when they went over the ring the power ring it was is it uses induction sort of give it power or qi charging like these are things that you know you basically get close to it and then it will give it power so he's decided to use you know magnets and there's this base you saying you could also be used for things like charging your phone um so uh you have to plug in the base still so that's like you're still going to plug that in it's not just you carry around a little light bulb with you lights up everywhere you go you're not Uncle Fester ok but this bulb has you it just sits there and you Center it right onto the magnet so you set it down and then it lights up pretty great pretty simple but also pretty great though science there I'm not a scientist fair enough and and honestly I don't want to know I just want to think it's magic okay so how much then well how much is he so keep in mind that this is a shatterproof bulb these are not like like regular bulbs that you'd find in a store their shatterproof to to an extent i'm sure i can't run them over with a truck or something the shadow proof bulbs and the other thing is is there led so they're made to look like edison lights like incandescent bulbs but they're actually led so they're good they're great yet which is more energy efficient obviously the last longer which is fantastic because you're gonna be paying a couple dollars for this you're paying a lot of money the retail price they're planning on is four hundred dollars 399 but I'm Kickstarter it's to 49 per flight 249 um they have a little under two weeks ago they've raised almost half a million dollars they asked for 80,000 G so a lot of people really like this a lot of people want to love is hitting lipo lobsters I say so hipsters necessary I want this but I'm oh good coma do you know where I see this lesson homes and more in like coffee shops and buying like a pack of like five of them and putting them across like a bar or something like that's where I see thee like a hotel yeah yeah like a standard or something a fancy hotel I sort of see it being used like that but I would because the only one it does seem very hipster it does yeah but to have like five or six of them along like a like a bar or table or something that you could go sit out like that would be cool but it definitely is um well again the great thing we can the great thing is we can say whatever we want about this cuz these sort it mate yeah this is happening uh I don't have to back it it's already mad well but I mean what would you know no that's way too much money much yeah I could buy an oculus rift headset yes you know that you know the price if it's over three hundred dollars people are gonna buy that I might be though maybe it's 349 maybe it's about the same price maybe actually we don't know enough about it we don't know almost and we don't know a lot about the desert the dead build was like 200 300 I think it's like I think it's 349 there's 350 so that's the devil you could go to a magic you can go to any magical world instead of having a little light bulb on your if money were no object if money were no I've been absol we buy a bunch of yeah i buy everything in this room but for that price I think no I would not buy one at that price for four hundred dollars here so Logan what is the acceptable price i'd say maybe 150 me no no because it's levitating BS is levitating and it's and it's interesting i would say well i would say the moat 152 199 i feel like is that 169 seems like an appropriate price but i'm getting totally cut whoever this is can totally cut the cost down once they start making them i'm not sure like what out of the gates expense that maybe it's sort of the price of it kind of comes down over time but we'll see anyway flight not like he has to worry about it he's got $500,000 yeah fl y te flight um and so that's it for our backcolor hackett now because we got so much user feedback on oculus rift we're gonna do another round of TD rift and user feedback don't get don't get me wrong I want the light bulb I want it I think it's super cool i like strange oddities that like actually have a function in my house but I just I get paper i can put a 500 oddities of that well it's like i could buy two packs of hue light bulbs yeah and I can control it's like a it's for me it's like a sort of cost-benefit comparison I wonder things that are cool yeah somebody watching right now cuz they're all super smart he'll DIY would be able to DIY it's like yo your shoes like an apple and a thumbtack okay somebody'll MacGyver that together okay so we asked you guys last week to tell us if you were in or out on the oculus rift and now that you know you kind of have to wait through a few more headsets it's kind of a landslide kind of a landslide a lot of people said no I'm just out i'm done i'm not feeling it what did you see on did you see anything on youtube yeah oh I don't think everyone was like I'm going 5-5 yeah that's what everybody said everything seemed like everyone's like there was there was either just I'm out or that's too late or I love valve I'm going valve but we again we don't know anything yet for about either the headsets so Abdul erman said after trying DK 2 and feelings I think I want to try normal gaming but I want to try valve er hope it's better than rift so he's also vivre by fig though he's been calling it beep vibe those questions betray me Valve's got a lot of people's fandom already so they do and so Kylie said none oculus is the best but it's owned by Facebook so no go I've never I haven't heard anybody bring that up yet I've seen out like a like a small handful of people say I was into oculus until facebook bought it now I don't want it I because I don't want to give Facebook my money like I don't want to support that company weird that it's like the enemy yet everybody uses it I know uh Euclid wrote in and said I'm a kill on this on the vibe i think i want survive a day they already have taken one step further no i know it's gonna be oh man we had again we don't know maybe the the new oculus headset does something blow up said I know who knows who knows um dan sent us an email and said hey TD yes there's a big oculus ecosystem already from all the dev kits but that big name IP like kill says is vital to bringing mainstream success for VR as well as the obvious IP they already have valve valve zone Unreal Engine and that's now free kinda you pay percentage on profit so free to play is free to you is making it a direct competitor to unity which the vibe also supports as owners of both hardware and platform not to mention the baked in marketplace they have the power to make it super easy for developers to build and distribute compatible games and I can imagine the VR market will tend to spend more than your average mobile gamer such a good point so the incentive will work to the incentive to work on a made-to-measure platform could win over a lot of the developers and become genuinely competitive very quickly he said also it's election day here in the UK which is lassie he got a this this was from last week it's election day here in the UK and occurs to me that inspired by tomorrow daily we should have the big Inhumans party its name is also its manifesto may the force be with you Dan Wow Dan I like that yeah dance dance good uh it's such a good point that that they have the built-in they have the built-in ecosystem right there with steam I mean could you imagine you put on your vibe in there's the steam store with all of the VR titles right there waiting for you to buy you just reach out and touch it yeah it's you know valve has the you know steam and you have like let's imagine to pipe it's like here's the entry point for the vibe and then here's the game the entry point for the game all they're missing is just be like oh we just got to connect those two yeah that's something oculus doesn't really have yet there's no platform site yeah they don't really have that many relationships but again if they ever has a relationship with like somebody we don't think comic book has the has a Microsoft advantage with remember when Microsoft had the xbox when the Xbox first came out was kind of a flop and what they did was probably the exact same thing Facebook is going to do which is they threw money at developers over and over and over again until the Xbox became successful and what did they do they threw money at halo they threw money at bungee they they had and it was a console exclusive is a is a device exclusive game and people went crazy for it and if Facebook can give the right amount of money to the right development team and make an exclusive game for oculus that is a platform seller they might be able to win as I've said that time and time again I think they think what's gonna happen is oculus is going to focus on experience whether it be some sort of for app or something and then five is gonna focus on gaming I mean that's completely obvious that they're gonna focus on gaming so probably right so there's gonna be a breakdown and I think honestly think gamers are more likely to buy a VR headset then maybe that but but and I keep feeling like I'm defending oculus even though I'm totally on vibes side yeah even though I've spent more time on ocular now we it's the only reason I'm trying to make it because I want to make sure that the playing field is all well thought about you know you can't just be like well oculus too late sorry suckers and also here's here's the most important thing is that competition in any way shape or form and especially good competition it only we all win we all win in competition world like all of these headsets one-upping each other trying to be better better better only means that we're gonna get the best possible stuff when it finally gets to us so I think we also want vibe to come out and be a success it's yeah i did a dark story i want them all because Excel hasn't really like successfully launched any like like hardware yeah and and then also you know it's it's going up against facebook and ocular hitters so move it's gonna be interesting well no by III maybe a little bit by the end of the summer yeah and we'll be able to make our decisions then but all the great points yeah really good salient point silly an excellent um okay I really briefly I just we have an email from James but I'm gonna I'm just gonna go over it really quickly just mentioned that his Ansel for oculus rift is no because one so expensive to limited content as of the moment and three waiting for 2nd gen rift so he was saying he's waiting for 2nd gen which I think maybe we might see a lot of people do just like the Apple watch people are like well I think I'll just wait til the 2nd gen oh no I'm not ready to jump up your way for 2nd gen rift you're gonna be waiting for a second gen vibe I've yeah exactly and that and also i think this technically counts as 3rd gen for the rift and we don't know and and the other thing is is that we don't really know um we don't really know how long the lives of those devices are going to be so is it gonna be like a console where it's like five to ten years or are we gonna be waiting a year is it will be they just updated every year hardware's updated just like the iphone or buy a new headset every year yeah exactly see eye but you know who knows i don't know i don't know how that'll work um so that was a user feedback which means now that we're done with that we got to get into our very last piece user feedback which is always our phone talker for the day I'm growing an hour for tomorrow daily I feel like feels like it's only our one I was like just our one okay I are all wrote in to us RL RL I don't I can't I'm terrible with names he's done in these pictures and said hi again Ashley
