on today's show with German university wants to use electricity to zap your legs into walking in a specific direction the oculus rift brings a virtual windows desktop right to your face and you're going to be able to buy a robot chef in a couple of years and we'll tell you how grapes tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the Internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show the known universe I'm your host Ashley scatter Jeremy's always crepes crepes anonymous sorry I the cooking robot I immediately think crepes for some reason don't ask me well the grits are really hard to make so maybe a robot is the best choice there yeah if I'm gonna have a robot and then we'll get to it we'll get to it look at that once I mean not that anyone's excited about us getting to the crepe making robot I think some people might be but let's let's move on so a French man yeah so sappy people is their first on okay they're climbing this human cruise control this is so weird but it's I just I don't know okay this cuz our Germany's University of Hanover and they think they have a pretty interesting solution to looking down for directions when you're in a place you're not familiar with so if you're walking around a city you're not super familiar with you're looking down your phone all the time not really seeing anything and so here it is uh that's the video you're seeing muscle stimulation with electricity to guide people around a room using a smart phone and bluetooth wait what do you even mean by that okay so explain so have you ever gotten like physical therapy or anything where they put electrodes on your skin and like you feel an electric current that sort of contracts and expand your muscles so artificially making your muscles move yes so what they're doing is they're putting these pads on your legs sort of like a TENS machine or something like that and their electrodes that attach to your Sartorius muscle which is it goes from like here all the way across the front inside of your thigh and so they're using these electrodes to zap your muscles into turning your leg in a specific direction so that you're like oh I should go like oh I should go right here I can sell bizarre it's so weird wait a minute is this basically like GPS I mean I'm sorry autopilot like human autopilot you're like no one go there and you start walking and it turns for you it it like nudges you in that direction it's not gonna if it was strong enough to turn you would probably hurt pretty bad um but it's strong enough to where they tested it on 18 people in their lab and successful every time navigating them around without them looking so there you go that is is pretty into any kind of cool doesn't hurt though right no it's kind of like one of those yeah you feel like a pull on your muscle as if it's tightening and and your body is sort of telling you like this way or this way and then that's it so but here's the interesting thing so um obviously the one thing you would think of is like oh I'm gonna use google maps and I'm gonna walk around a city and it's gonna tell me what direction to go in like yes that's the thing you can do that but there were other uses that they mentioned that I didn't even think of so they said we could help disoriented seniors find their way back home very good yeah good helping firefighters navigate a burning building where they couldn't see the corridors because of smoke that's trickier but yeah trickier but yes and also and I thought this was very interesting because I in my head I'm imagining this visual and it seems like a really bad idea but okay directing large crowds of people during emergencies or massive event so a bunch of people would have to have these electrodes on their legs but then it's like what if they malfunction what if one of them gets wet and all of a sudden like somebody's like zigzagging through the crowd like Oh help me like ice like you launch right in the worst-case scenario but I've been getting people to put these on their legs is already pretty crazy I guess it in the pocket dystopian future we're all wearing the same clothes and build them in yeah I guess so but I guess maybe like if you're trying to get around disneyland or it's about putting it on but it's very interesting I mean it looks ridiculous like Logan let's see the video one more time this it with this girl's legs are like that you have these like wires hanging and these little electrode pads I mean it looks absolutely insane better than watch we talked to savers like it they're both they're sitting on the inside of your lives of course people are gonna wear this but if they ever got to a point where they could remotely activate those via a smartphone and they were subtle that and without wires then I could see oh maybe the epi I actually want to try this out I think this is something i'd be super into seeing if I could like get around in action have been like did turning and whatnot okay great University of over call us Hanover shocked me yeah all right okay so you know how much on the virtual reality right do I wish I wasn't here right now I wish I was in virtual reality we are so one thing I didn't know that people actually wanted was kind of their windows desktop in that virtual space you didn't need a monitor you put on the goggles and you have your virtual desktop okay well one man saw this problem that man's name is guy godin and he's created this software called the virtual desktop which is actually available now it's a free app what yeah what's crazy about this is you can go from flat screen to curb screen so you can see your monitor as if you know you have a monitor from your face yeah I like that where he changes the field of view like you can push the screen way way back or you could bring it really close a lot of control over how the screen acts and moves and so okay okay one of the benefits that that I'm seeing here obviously you know we're talking earlier about how the oculus to like load up a program you have to shut the program down open up another program okay turn back on and then there's a lot of like is it on is it working what's happening then beyond that oculus can't really do everything yet true with this anything you can run on your desktop you can run on your oculus rift on this flat little screen oh the video we see him load up hearthstone for example he's about to watch house of cards because he hasn't caught up on my to catch up buddy um he also plays diablo watchdogs these are all games you can't play on your oculus obviously I'm not gonna be in 3d they're gonna be on a flat screen right but being able to play it without a monitor maybe if somebody's already using their monitor yeah it's really cool I think really like again I didn't really even want this for free that's the best part totally free he just updated it there's also a mirror option so you can watch what somebody else is seeing inside the headset last time a monitor yeah helpful for demos yeah so I mean again it's pretty cool it's called uh it's called virtual desktop and if you have an oculus give it a shot yeah it again really cool way to where I like that right and it's so it's like you can run anything we run absolutely anything I like these little Diablo yeah well I love diablo 3 the backgrounds like it looks like outer space behind all the windows that's really cool like I'm assuming that's like part of the software where you get like little pre-loaded little pre-loaded space backgrounds or ever look like you're floating around in outer space with your computer screen in front of you so awesome yeah so fantastic super cool again one of the most exciting things about VR is that sort of open source and people being able to be like you know I really want to have the desktop for some reason to play solitaire while I'm anywhere yeah he made it up and it's free so there you go oh yeah I were goal you could write stuff with that too like oh yeah heard processing and was rewriting you could pretend you're on a starbucks screenwriting yeah he's here to fall in it and you know what you have multiple processes to you can be watching tomorrow daily and writing on your tomorrow damn writing your review about Michelle your tomorrow daily hate I hate tomorrow daily tumblr com ya que lo que get good news shoes that's dumb that's good too much hashtag scout I bet anyway yeah then you can also use I love it sorry all right free so tell me about this cook that's gay cook for me starts a free start saving your money because moly robotics says they have the first fully automated robot kitchen set up it's like arms it's like robotic arms just arms it's not an actual Road or face arms no face out of its they want to sell it to you this is not just a prototype this is gonna be a thing that supposedly you're gonna be able to buy so we're going to look at and moving and severally oh it looks so good um it uses pre-portioned ingredients so you're not going to see it like chopping up vegetables and measuring water and like on set you have to like give it all the things that it needs to make something make something but here's here's the cool thing they want to sell this to you by 2017 so in a couple years only like two years like an avid ethically well I could happen in a couple years well the price might come down to and I'm sure it'll look much fancier than this which is kind of a prototype robot so let me tell you a little bit about these arms because they're pretty hard to make and I can't even imagine how much you'd pay for maintenance all these things like what if one of the fingers breaks you got to call in a repair tech escape food yeah yeah it would be terrible there's 20 motors 24 joints 129 sensors Wow yeah there's a lot going on in there and here's how they here's how they put this all together they had a they had a cook made a chef make a recipe and they captured it with three like special 3d software and then they translated all his movements and algorithms for the robot arms so that's how it looks so smooth he's actually mimicking or recreating a real person's movements so an actual professional great chef is the one who's actually making your food it yes if it's like through via the robot yes and it but apparently right now it can make crab bisque can just whip you up some crab bisque and what they want to do go when the commercial version launches they want to have an app store like kind of like a recipe book where you have over 2,000 recipes that this robot can make and yours like download them and then makes your food okay you I did not have me until that point ready us yeah you didn't have me but here's the fun part Ashley how much does this thing cause no pricing yet no date no price no date um but I still skeptical how much would you pay for that kind of robot if it did what it says it would do and it did come with that 2,000 recipes how much would you pay here's how it would sell me hey if you guys use blue apron you and won't use blue apron where they send you the ingredients yes already pre-portioned and then you can justly tell the robot the only way I'd get into that's only way I'd get into bed with this robot I smell a partnership moly robotics I smell apart because because the whole like you have to set aside the ingredients I need a table courts continue no no no no no the prep work yeah at the whole point of the robot cooking is that it's my hands off literally so I'd pay five thousand dollars I would together that i would say twenty-five hundred to five thousand depending on how good it was I smooth it was what I had access to like that's kind of my price but it's got to have that sort of package like Oh lobster bisque let me open up that package I put them all in their respective things yeah good luck robot I'm gonna go play grand theft auto 5 on PC we'll get to that but anyway yeah I think that's think that's the best way to go about it so one of things they mentioned was like you'd be on your way home from work and then you just open up the app tap a button and robot starts making you dinner and when you get home is done dad I like that's also scary to a little bit terrifying because what if there's no bots hand brakes and then all of a sudden your house is on fire not good make sure you have home automation okay fire alarm I wasn't into this before but now I'm cool I thought was all right so that's our hashtag of the day actually TD Robo cook and the question is if you could teach the robot like you're the chef would you teeth what's the one thing you would want it to make more than anything else like what's what's your favorite dish that you want your robot to make now you have two options you go two ways on this you could have it make comfort food that you like all the time that might be a little bit easier to make which are you really using the robot in the right way or you can get really fancy with it and have it make something that you probably can't make yourself go first I'm coming up with a real good one I feel like I got a real good one I would like my robot to make sushi and sashimi because i am not good at it and it takes very skilled hands to be able to make good sushi and sashimi and and rice and I'd like I would say that that's what I would have it make I am gonna go a weird direction and say that I want my robot to be experimental oh there's there's a lot of food science out there molecular gosh I felt like you didn't know this but if you add lemon to such and such it adds a Boldin's the flavor or whatever I want a robot that has the ability to research that science watches you know good eats or whatever yeah and find different ways to like oh we we add caramel to this or something like that like we imagine caramelize raviolis or something like that yeah it it brings new things to the table that I couldn't have done myself would it be awesome if it compiled a database based on like shows like that so could watch food network you have this sort of AI in there and then when you have your dinner and it says sir if you'd like to add this it will add this type of flavor based on this show they go that's exactly I was a awesome thanks really good the longest time I wasn't cooking my eggs with butter uh and I wasn't cooking about high heat to off heat I how he liked him being able to figure that out to make it better yeah exactly so there you go oh and there's different styles of eggs maybe he gives me different I'm like I want eggs and you're like what you want a french style you want an american-style don't like different way oh my god surprise me robot so do stuff that's what I go Oh surprise me robot Zoey it's hashtag TD what TD Robo cook TV take your robe ok let's see Robo cook so I sent in your hashtag of the day on Twitter or you can email us tomorrow at cnet com we're gonna take a very quick break but before we go you have to see this amazing sort of art thing it's a kinetic sand and light together and it just looks unbelievable so we'll be right back welcome back to the show everybody it's a tuesday it's a Tuesday same romantic Mario says it um it's a luigi it's a tuesday um it's tuesday which means it's uh we like to talk about all the things there to be emptying our

interested in this I the one thing I find interesting about this movie it's the movie where so there's a bunch of people in a hangout like the entire movie takes place like in this online ID on that girl's computer screen which I find interesting and fascinating i feel like i would watch it just for that but the whole premise of the movie is i guess like a year before the events of this there's a girl at this high school that killed herself and then they are all being like haunted by her and this hangout chat or whatever and it's supposed to be kind of like cyber horror like kind of a new thing so I like I again I find it interesting but I am also i don't know if this format can work for me like i don't know if i could watch a 90-minute movie like that i love when horror movies are ambitious though i do too and that's why i would like to I'd like to give them so much who's behind this is it Universal who's making this ah gosh i think it's universal okay yeah i'm all for like ambitious movies they're not like it's not just about found footage this is the cool like my teacher real fam this is like new version of found footage hey you know uh what's its name of modern family
