greetings citizens of the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the festy talk show in the known universe except this isn't really talk show these are actually are many episodes while we get our brand-new studio up and running we're gonna give you a little bit bite-size tomorrow daily to keep you satisfied during the week until we have our fancy new studio with our fancy new co-host which by the way you can totally guess uh TT host is the hashtag if you want to try to make a wager on who you think the new co-host is um could be really fun there might be a prize involved maybe I'll dig into my bag of goodies and send you something if you're the very first person to guess on twitter um we said yesterday was a he to dude and also uh he's had many shows on the internet so it's not somebody that you're not familiar with all right guys we gotta hit the headlines if you've ever been out in the rain and you tried to send a text message you probably looked like this while you try to hold your umbrella and text at the same time but fear no more a Korean telecom company has you covered this is called the phone briella the phone briella looks like a pretty regular umbrella except it's got a c-shaped holder at the end of it and that handle actually has a counterweight in it so you can either hold it like a normal umbrella or slide it on your wrist and get that double handed texting action on again made by Korean telecom company its full size there's no wind resistance so if you're in the middle of some heavy winds probably not gonna be too happy and unfortunately for those of you out there looking to buy the phone briella it's actually a limited edition release so unless you have a friend in South Korea who is thinking of you one day as they somehow thought to themselves I'd really like for my friend to text while holding their umbrella first logon no stop it okay next story let's talk about this flying robots have a little bit of trouble building rigid structures we know this it's a little bit difficult to get a carry weight and everything but a group of researchers has decided that maybe they shouldn't be making rigid structures maybe they should be making rope structures this is a collaboration between eth zurich institute for dynamic systems and control and an architecture firm named grommet co Cola research these quadrotors to weave a bridge across a seven point four meter gap oh that's pretty awesome and they also used a bunch of knots and different things that you're probably familiar with if you've ever been camping it's not quite an autonomous system though there's a really expensive piece of machinery monitoring all the quadrotors to make sure that they didn't crash into each other while building that bridge or you know strangle themselves on the rope which would be very bad this could be great for lightweight structure building in the future but generally speaking it's a little cost prohibitive so you won't be stuffing this kit in your camping a backpack and taking it with you to Yosemite next year sorry okay very last headline and then we'll talk about new releases have you ever wanted advice about solving a problem and wished that you could get advice from dr. Sigmund Freud yes that is right a group of researchers at the University of Barcelona have done this and they found some very interesting things about their participants in that study so the way it works is there were 22 people that were using an oculus dk2 to give themselves advice in virtual reality one time as themselves a real-life full version of themselves and the second time as dr. Sigmund Freud talking to themselves in virtual reality I know it sounds weird bear with me okay so they describe the problem as themselves in first person and then would jump over to the other person whether was Sigmund Freud or the likeness of themselves giving advice on how to solve the problem well the interesting thing was every single one of the participants decided that getting advice from dr. Sigmund Freud in virtual reality made them feel better they felt like they had a really good reaction to that response even though it was the exact same thing that they advised themselves looking like themselves this sounds super inception and really really meta but at the end of the day it's a really interesting concept that might come in handy for helping future mental health professionals treat patients or it could be used to treat yourself now you're probably wondering why Freud that seems a really odd choice why not Oprah dr. Phil or somebody else well because all of the students on campus when asked what famous person they'd like to get advice from for a problem they had picked dr. Freud so there you go all right guy it's time for new releases on the game front we have a lot of new releases this week FIFA 16 comes out today we got Animal Crossing happy home designer coming out today and also Lego dimensions which is the big thing everybody's been waiting for they have all kinds of different kits it's pretty pretty cool comes out this sunday so get your wallets ready because it's not gonna be cheap and also we have a movie coming up this week not super exciting on the new releases front but Hotel Transylvania 2 is coming out so if you really like the first one maybe swing by check that one out if you're interested I don't know whatever you want all right guys let's do our photog refer of the day today Sontag refer is Kareem and Kareem rights to us and says hey Ashley cream here I took the shot last year with my galaxy s5 great camera that the detail and dynamic range are really pronounced as you see I waited for the Sun to eclipse the clock over there and touched it up a little in Lightroom if wallah Korean that is a great amazing picture gorgeous yes HDR very dynamic lots of range there in turn color and lighting amazing stuff if you guys want to send in your phone ography to be featured on the show you can email us tomorrow at cnet com or you can just hit us up on Twitter we're tomorrow daily on Twitter Facebook a whole bunch of social media networks or you can follow me on twitter at Ashley ask Emma or producer Logan at Logan boy all right guys that's it for the show today we'll be back with another mini episode tomorrow but until then be good humans will see you guys next time bye you
