on today's show a laser flyswatter that's gonna help you kill bugs in the air you a video showing off the future of AR but it might be too good to be true and a really cool online simulator is gonna show you where hide during the zombie apocalypse hint it is not in kills basement it's Los Angeles there's no basements here that's right so our daily Prudy citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best speak talk show in the known universe I'm host Ashley skellige Ovie's always kill anonymous the man the myth the legend how's it going it's great all right happy Monday yeah happy Monday it feels it feels good there's a new color with some nice new color in the set we're gonna point it out yeah it's nice I really I really like this color it really brings it brings out your eyes yeah it feels like we're not on the like the front of a Hallmark card oh yeah look at this yeah I look at your so go it's so good yeah good we owe this to producer Logan we down Frankie wonderful taste not insecticide lighting so perfect good on him all right so with that being said it is Monday which means we have a lot to get through so let's have headlines so I'm about to tell you got a laser flyswatter this product has actually been in the works for a while like years now but the original designer kind of walked away from it but now a company intellectual ventures which is a big patent company has announced that they are licensing this thing for manufacturing is a laser bug killer okay okay so your lasers the future of killing bugs obviously the future of killing bugs so we're gonna watch some b-roll here and I feel really bad for the mosquitoes and this b-roll cuz they're getting shot down like her red bears getting taken out of the sky okay so the thing about mosquitoes is is that you know they're really they're extra bad in places like Africa where there's malaria there's there can be malaria where there's a lot of still water and so and there's also things like sand flies in the Middle East which are also extremely bad oh boy that's the smoke trail coming out of that mosquito um so here's how it works the goal of the device is to make this sort of fence around an area I love this like crazy slow-motion video it's so good just blast their wings off okay so it creates a grid it kind of makes a fence around an area and then the laser beam used to zap the bugs is only a few millimeters wide so I think it's between like two and six millimeters wide but it has a lot of range the ideal distance for the laser to hit a bug is 25 to 100 meters meters so 75 to 300 feet away so it's far and basically it uses two different beams it uses an infrared beam to actually track the bugs and then a laser beam a 3 watt laser to take it out of sky this really does sound like zombie apocolypse protection types okay so even even crazier they are trying to figure out a way to pinpoint because of the rate at which mosquitoes wings flap their differently for male and female mosquitoes they're trying to figure out how to make it so that the infrared beam could track whether or not the mosquito is male or female and then shoot down only the female ones to save battery but yeah so that's what they're doing that is that's the mosquito laser I saw that and I just I shouldn't laugh I should not laugh at that video of them just like let just blatantly shooting mosquitoes out of the sky but it's it's kind of entertaining I don't know it's weird because if there's a lot of people that probably be like they oh there was a mosquito but watching that slope if you put some sad music to it sad Hulk music yeah put some sad music to it and it's a completely it's not as it's not a great story it's like our saddest story robots where they show the people kicking them and everything and they make it longer robots is the same type of thing all right tell me about magic all right so for this story you're gonna need to see the video so let's I mean let's just roll right into the video because really unbelievable video and unbelievable is the word that I doesn't get a stick with c4 here so this is a magic leap okay this is this is uh wet of showing off magic leap this video is called just another day in the office it's kind of showing us what can be done with a are that at the highest level that the that what is imagination perfect world can go so well uh wet out workshop helped make this magic leap produce this video you might know some of their other work is like Lord of the Rings and stuff like that so there are no strangers to graphics post-production visual effects I love the I love inclusion of the dr. gourd bortz ray-guns right because I have some at home you just wanted to plug that anyway so love them so they're showing off what an AR interface can do but presumably we don't really know which way this video is going whether they're like we are doing this or it can do this there's been no response from anyone about this as of this filming but obviously it's showing off how you can play a game and interact with your surroundings how your hands can interact how you can interact with that gourd board gun yeah like that's the first Street like you pick up a real life object and then use it in your AR game it looks like a corridor digital video yeah it feels like we've seen stuff like this before and it just seems like whetted toying around and that's playing with our pets I had I had a very guttural reaction to it - yeah I got me so excited you got excited I did not get excited cuz you're I got a groove in it I'm tired of seeing what AR can do because we've seen to do it I want to see it do that okay I feel this video good job Letta it looks awesome Freddie Wong's already do already done it let's see what AR can do but again we don't know if this is something they've actually done right where the or if they'd actually worked with so magic leap so magic leap interestingly has a lot of money right now they have over half a billion dollars maybe they have oh I think it's like five hundred and thirty-some million dollars in venture capital from places like Google Ventures so yeah a lot of indefinitely they have a lot of investors and they were supposed to give a talk I think it may be GDC or another conference and then they cancelled but then they released this video they said this is what we were supposed to show you but then so I don't I think that it's just like Halloween plans it might be a little planned yeah just like hololens like you know though all these promises get us excited and I'm sure like they they buff that video up since the hololens video camera but regardless you're right they have a lot of money they are still hasn't really shown us that yeah well I mean hololens actually showed us some stuff right I guess we'll see but either way we'd love to know your thoughts on this yeah that's our hashtag of the day what I want to know are you super happy like her or unnecessarily annoyed by it unnecessarily I'm excited about I'll oh they are I love the are but waiters real don't make it look like a like a Freddie one okay so here's the hashtag of the day okay what is it it is T DVR var so virtual reality versus augment I'm very good virtual reality versus augmented reality which one are you more excited about at this point so okay obviously the controversial reality versus on okay yeah so ARR VR and why and what's what's that for you guys what's the tipping point like what's the must-buy piece of software for you that like you're like okay I've got to get a VR or an AR headset at this point this is the thing that this headset would do I choose AR or VR and here's the thing that is gonna make me buy it okay I'm very interested to see what you pick we usually don't set these up no I hear each other's reactions I write presenting yours is wrong I like this question literally five hours before the show and I don't think of an answer until we sit right there yeah so you go first okay so for me I think I am as a gamer I have to be more excited about virtual reality we're excited about right I am more excited about virtual reality because I love the idea of being immersed and I if I'm wearing a headset I want to escape that's I want to be in a whole different world I don't want to see extra stuff on to the things I see in my everyday life like I want to see something totally new and beautiful and amazing and incredible and so for me I would say the game that I would buy would I don't want to say it would have like I love the BioShock Infinite so much and I feel like that world would have been so grand and virtual oh man yeah absolutely so I feel like if I could play and like a 4k remaster of BioShock Infinite I think that would be the game that would be like oh I have to buy Bioshock a Bioshock in any Bioshock any atmospheric game would be fantastic and b7 right I mean that's that's what we're all dreaming everybody are and we're getting really clothes ready okay what about you I am work setting about AR because I feel really no I I I'm I feel like I already have faith in VR to do its do its thing it's running its course it's getting where it's supposed to be okay and it's going it's chugging along um AR I feel like is going to be the thing that a lot more people like adapt I think my mom will put on a headset my sister will put on and then more more people like like Twitter and YouTube are going to be more likely to push those things forward so more people will be using them it'll start a new market gearing up I'll be mere catting with my stupid headset but yeah it's something that we've all wanted since we saw Google class everyone got excited right so it's also very reminiscent of this this magically video because the first video they showed of Google glass was was very ambitious in terms of a scope and scale and very similar in in excitement levels to what we have here with me so me and Angus the robot are totally on board with the aim of the robot he told me how he taught so but yeah AR there's there's a lot of promise and it's it's the thing like I mean if we're talking about moving towards watches I mean even better if we can just not even have to look down at a device and then I guess I mean this is not this is not gonna be a perfect world once we have those AR headsets we're gonna look stupid yes it's gonna remove us from our world around us and we're just it's so it's a bad thing but I'm excited like I'm gonna light it well yes sometimes if there's like a down moment and you're like you're talking about that like tim schafer or something like that and i'll just zone out and start watching YouTube video yeah you won't even have to be on the show it'll be perfect kills like finally my dreams are coming true analyst of this broad not so so that's I mean that's a good split I think that's a really good point I think I think you're that's a really good point too I didn't think about the fact that maybe mass consumerism would maybe gravitate toward a are a little bit more than VR yeah pre I'm very interested in what producer yeah what that's pretty slow and you guys really curious I think this is all ready so we're all ready i had--my genghis is ahead of curve with tail alright I just want walking death is on last night we got to talk about zombies of course so this is kind of a fun way to start the week it's zombie town USA and this is a simulator that reminds me of you know that gameplay gink yes ok so fun it's really good like outbreak simulator it's kind of cool so this is online you can go online and check it out it's and and you can basically set up some parameters like how fast your zombies move you can set up how fast the time goes so you can see there's there's the outbreak happening we started it sort of in San Diego and it's like oh it's going across a zombie outbreak yeah yeah it's happening so we did it earlier we recorded this we screen capped it so it seems like it's taking a long time so here's the cool thing about this so the funny thing is this is not just a fun simulator that was made for kicks there's actually like a whole bunch of science behind this the guys that made this wrote a paper about the epidemiology and statistical mechanics of zombies and applied their knowledge to this simulation they created the simulation and one of the creators explains the model like this and I this is a this is a quote or paraphrasing of what he said every member of the population in the model has two numbers assigned to it where it is and what state it's in in terms of if it's a human a zombie or a dead zombie so those are the three states you can be in if you remember the population in this model when the model the model then charts interactions in that population over time so the model will pick an action that can occur in each step of time so each time increment that you set in this simulation there's a thing that could happen and the model updates the probabilities for interactions every single time step so it'll say oh you're more likely to shake someone's hand in New York than you are right you're more likely to like things like zombie bites human human kills zombies zombie walks like just doesn't kill anybody or get killed but it just walks somewhere so they that's how it spreads and so it's a very like it's a very deep kind of they feel a very realistic model of what would happen if it break or some kind of infection happened that affected a lot slower than I thought it would right and so this is at like 500 plus hours so this is you know this is quite a ways out a little bit of Texas that's the safest place is so far so good right so but it's fun because you can choose where the outbreak starts oh she didn't say like oh if it starts here then like here's how it goes and you know obviously there's a lot less people served in that area that's kind of you know New Mexico Arizona Colorado like Montana so you can see it's a lot darker and then all of a sudden gets really dark as it started there it gets really red as it starts moving to more populated areas which is pretty cool yeah it's very cool it's very relaxing it it is a little bit relaxing to sort of watch the doom of humanity the other way I think it looks like you started you started this outbreak in the tomorrow daily office Genghis ya gang get started can't get started again you but yeah the zombie robot but it's to get to New York it takes a long time yeah it's it's been you only date the US because I know we have a lot of so so far they have the US but it would be I it would not be a stretch to see them maybe if it's very popular and they can somehow maybe monetize it like I could see them maybe expanding it to the rest of the world that's DLC yeah well DLC yeah be good but that's those are our headlines we're gonna be right back we're to take a quick break we have a really weird kind of cool back at her hackett that might change the way we wear shoes it's kind of neat and then we have your user feedback and of course our photogra for the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily welcome back to the show we have a very interesting round of crowd funding that we're gonna tell you whether or not we like or dislike as always on Monday this is back at our Hackett real quick we should say that producer Logan said AR said he so that's me Ganga's three three games one that's great so I'm feeling pretty good about my joke a I don't worry by my choice so the way you wear your shoes yeah okay so we're gonna talk about a lady product but it could be pretty easily imported to guys as well this is called volver volver e ful like potpourri Volvo lorry it's a pair of high heels with an e-ink and like look at it changes you see change okay it's a jewel there's an ink panel embedded on the sides of this shoe and the cool thing is is you can not only change it from you know white to black you can also put patterns on it you can upload little patterns you can do stripes or dots or whatever it is that you are feeling particularly in that day it uses a flexible each ink paper and it's got a Bluetooth le receiver in the hollow of this that's cool so you can just send you know the patterns I so see look he's changing the patterns of the soul right there which is like or the the paper which is pretty awesome it's wireless charging so you can charge your shoes wirelessly and I was thinking to myself like another thing that I have to charge every day but no because it uses so little energy e Inc uses so little energy you can actually just that you charge it like every few weeks takes it like a long time so here's the thing guys like imagine a tennis shoe like this like a good tennis shoe oh my god yeah that would be amazing so that's them working on HC this bluetooth receiver they have everything set up in there they got to put it in the sole of the shoe and stuff but man I would love love loved a tennis shoe like this that's really cool alright so cool tech and maybe color how much okay what are we looking at here so it's on IndieGoGo that's where you can find it it closes on April 12th so it's been up for a little over a week I guess or mail like it's about halfway through its campaign maybe as of right now it has about 15,000 ish dollars of a fifty thousand dollar goal so they're there it's close they're definitely they haven't been screaming up the Charter mm of the 50 that they need that they want yeah and it's they want $249 for one pair which is for women in the neighborhood of kind of mid-range designer shoes so it's not super cheap but it's also not nearly as expensive as say a Louboutin which is like a thousand dollars yeah but I can see like Bridget Carey or or Brian Tong wearing these yeah I mean Brendan his legs would look amazing in these yeah we should definitely email that to him there's thrilling rock and roll man garden they're incredible you know like Miss Universe likes that far but they're pretty I'm so yeah that's it's a it's called Volvo II which is vol V Ori I got $300 for shoes and Bluetooth you can switch them on the girl they have the you have like an app and you'll be able to switch up the patterns and everything and you charge them every few weeks through to 250 for a pair of shoes wireless charging wireless charging mm-hm and if it helps at all and I don't know if it does there's like snaps on the front in the back so you can snap accessories on it like bows or like whatever anyway as if that matters to you it might yeah I'd say back in III if I was if I was a lady I would like that sort of like could you buy for your girl don't you have to get him herself okay because I can't trust my I can't trust my fashion sense for women should be like wow she loved these no because she when she wears like varieties she has cowboy boots and she was slips and she was like heels that she's that's a big investment I don't know I the guys shoes are like a hundred bucks maybe 20 so yeah yeah so I don't know I yeah these ones were like 60 yeah I say back it if only if only to invest in the future of an eating tennis shoe that's I like oh god you consider my investment in this like hey hey I really like this make a tennis shoe please I'm almost 6 feet tall I cannot wear a heel I don't like it I've weak ankles I'm like a giraffe I can't know like its I'm all about the flats guys well that answers a lot of people's questions if you're you're just taller than me yeah that's right that is I'm wearing heels right now and it's not helping you know Caleb wears heels every day to show you guys an interest but but cushioning it's got a little Apple box got a little higher chair no but that's cool I like I like all that kind of stuff remember we we've showed off a necklace that kind of like chain yeah the projection it was really weird there's gonna be more of this stuff so a mile back this guy get in on the ground floor I guess would you do would you order any patterns you throw on there do you know of I would just love to see like MC Escher designs Michele start over time online yesterday I was she's like what about MC Escher I call my god yes we're like the the carpet in the shining do you remember that I got ya cool I made like a wall like weird tapestry designs up I would love like words you could do you do words oh you're going happy birthday in somebody's birthday is your favorite book yeah that in there you can like text call us dude call us guys we'll help you develop stuff awesome yeah but sneaker does super good yeah but sneaker all the way okay guys it's time to talk about what you think so it's time for user feedback boy you guys really have a lot to say about the view you know a lot to say no whether or not you pay 50 bucks for the PlayStation view um she she Sheik wrote in and said 50 bucks is a no-go I don't have a Playstation and at that price I'll stick with Charter and TiVo the price makes no sense at all yeah people have already found their ways of getting this content they don't want to go out of their way to get it right Ferdie Rodin's that got Netflix and Hulu got used to not having cable too expensive 15 to 20 bucks a month may be worth it also available on portable devices yeah that's a good thing we should have asked how much they'd be willing to pay yeah a lot of people said like 20 bucks like 20 25 bucks would be the top I do 35 I I would say 30 35 seems appropriate just considering the cloud DVR like I like that and I like that you can fast-forward through commercial 50 just seems too much like I don't know why I think it's cuz it's like going against everything else it just gives me that sick feeling of like oh this is another cable contract and it's like it's I know I'm not signing a two-year contract or anything with Sony but it feels like I am it's just this is a commitment oh I'm gonna pay for this and look I don't like that um Shannon wrote in and said TD view packages are the same as cable you are still paying for services you do not want hashtag not for me love the show guys oh yeah totally agree yeah agree remote cable package yes this this answer was probably my favorite answer Courtland wrote and said I would pay 50 bucks a month for PlayStation view only if I could pick 75 channels that I want alright so you say I want to pick my 75 channels or maybe if you get to pick her channels you only get 50 maybe it's like 50 bucks a month and you can get 75 channels that we choose for you or you can pick 50 of your choice don't pick 75 shows yeah that would be like that you know whatever and then lastly Rob emailed us and said yes I have a PlayStation 3 but I'm thinking about getting a PlayStation 4 I'm undecided whether I'm in or not because although it's way cheaper than what I'm paying for cable if I want HBO it'll be an extra fee plus if someone wants sports you have to pay an extra fee I guess the only way that I would buy a view that I would buy view is if it offered live sports and HBO and the other paid channels were included in the 50 I knew you guess yesterday that sports would be a make or break for a lot of people and other people say like no sports I don't want like forget it yeah HBO's yeah that's a big that's a big that's a big get that's a big and I couldn't care less about sports so absolutely get it see I feel like it should be that $50 should include like ESPN and like that stuff but then if you don't want it you could have it removed like you can opt out so you can just like modularly take away I think that that's more of a fair thing like as opposed to saying all of you must have this yeah it's like I don't need 200 channels of every sport that has ever existed on my FiOS like I pay for that I never use them but it's like I wish I could just say you know what just all sports channels just just take them out and and then just charge me like it's not about it my account for the difference and whatever that is alright that's what I want not bad not bad thinking pretty good use a female we're not in that we're not in that you can't really make his decisions but ya know this was a very very active company and I love it because our segment yesterday was real long because we were looks like about this we got rayji so anyway yeah thanks for your thanks for comments it was really cool to see how everybody felt because as we said we got no really strongly we all have to decide together so that we control this dream yeah where things are going it's true we all have to fight for the user which is us so all right guys it's time for our very last piece use your feedback it is art bone target for the day Alex wrote in to us and he got a little I think maybe he was hangry when he wrote in maybe he just needed to eat something he was a little upset uh oh he wrote in and said I took this picture with my HTC One m7 I love my cats so much they are great subjects to take pictures of and then there was an emoji a grimace emoji and I could kind of angry crying emoji and it says please notice me whoa Alex dude you have cats pick your cat it calms your heart down and that's what they they give it to old people so that they there's a line nine exclamation points I'm sure yeah we love you Alex hello we've noticed we noticed you I like I like your idea that he's that he's hungry angry that's all I don't think you were actually mad at us I think you were just maybe a little
