things going on right now so let's not waste any more time let's hit deadlines may the 4th be with you elf and with you always thank you so it's May fourth may the 4th has hat it's happening right now it's star wars day and now this is like an official thing this is official Star Wars now it's now I feel like Disney took it on it's like okay it's officially star wars day everybody starts selling special star wars of merchandise indeed but more importantly today we got some really great reveals from Star Wars Episode 7 these are their images and also a news article that came out in Vanity Fair of all places I'm so so here's the cover we get to see some of the cast we get to see up Chewbacca Han Solo Chewbacca has not aged a day I'll be all again he looks like he's on on heartbeat or Tiger Beat yeah he's on he's on wiki beat yeah so let's talk about the reveals that we got to see um first off here check this out this is a stitch together picture of all of these like crazy of like critical critters that are in aliens that are going to be seeing if every animal Oh practical which is exciting this is like from a star wars fan point it's not cg there's no Jar Jar Binks is in there so that is art that's our first photo of like what its gonna look like what a set piece looks like oh look at this heroic okay so this is oscar isaac as he is the he Poe Dameron yeah Cameron Poe Damron this is my man crush monday uh so that's that's er that's a reveal kind of without his helmet I don't think we'd see less camellia ok what else we got next yes we got off a favorite yeah so yeah I don't know how to pronounce her name lupita nyong'o okay Oscar Oscar winner yes he's playing a CGI character named maz kanata and it's gonna be CG and she's also a space pirate which I can now die happy because one I love her she's an amazing actress and to uh Lupita Nyong'o is a space pirate is pretty much the epitome of all my dreams in life this is I've I mean literally there is no better character I could imagine her as and I can't wait to see what her mocap what her alien actually looks like little dots on her face is gonna be so detailed but no reveals for that next photo okay that's set photo that's uh that's not none on kylo Ren's jakku this is Ray Ray Daisy really scary yeah yeah so there's ray on her little little speeder this is uh it's not Tatooine jakku it's jakku is a planet yes Jack oj ignite you uh and and the I like that these characters sort of remind me of Tusken Raiders kind of like Sam people but not quite I'll either way all the practical effects look amazing next photo okay there it is okay so this is the big reveal in my opinion which is the character kylo Ren and this is Adam driver this is the villain that we see with the weird red lightsaber that has like the three points and also he has the mask on but he is actually this is apparently with his secret hideout which is on a frozen planet cookie Hoth might not be could be good enough maybe some misdirect like touch it like we all thought the jock who was tattooing we all thought it was tattooing now maybe this is Hoff maybe it isn't but this is our first image of him and actually our big reveal that he is playing the villain I'm so excited about this oh he looks terrifying oh yeah and then the brain trust is they're saying I have Kerris yeah there's um JJ Abrams kappa kappa dat a composer um got his name is slipping Collins John William sorry yeah yeah so it's pretty cool that's that's a great but it's gonna be known forever as like the themes from his movies he's gonna change his name to songs yeah he just things like what's your name and he's like Bennett but I've ever bet that I've ever met there yeah his wife has to do that every time caroline is like so there you go again if you pick up the issue of vanity fair think it's coming up next week next to the 12th on newsstands and then if you have a digital subscription it's the 7th so it'll be out they don't really want to crack into it but there's some really great quotes that are out including one where JJ Abrams reveals that he kind of wanted to put a dead Jar Jar in the movie hate that you wanted to put his bones in there and a lot of other really great quotes so go check go check that out hopefully you get a chance Morgan I'm gonna buy I'm gonna buy that yeah one hundred percent they've trying to decide if I wanted on the iPad or if I want an actual physical copy cuz I feel like having a physical copy would be more fun oh yeah I'm like dude all the layouts and stuff so i might get that i'm gonna get an actual news damn well guess what Ashley that's our that's our hashtag of the day ok so it is a TD force use the Force what is art what do we want to know we want to know what plot line do you want to see in the new Star Wars movie like what is it what's the what's the problem it doesn't have to be a main storyline either it can be anything like bb-8 invents uh I don't know for like fried chicken and waffles in the Star Wars rebirth whatever it is like I want to know what plot line you want to see in the force awaken here's what i want to say okay i want to seal a I use the Force you want to see ladies I want to say goodbye I want I want layout it like just even if it's cuz I know she's not gonna be like a hero the movie even if she's just like like force you know mind control somebody or just like like move something to somewhere else like even just a small thing will set me off everybody really liked the nut what do you want you want some look wiki battles you want to I would like to see Chewbacca actually rip the arms off somebody after losing and Paula chest like see that and Anna and then I as a secondary i would also really like to see Lupita nyong'o's character the space pirate have a I would like to see her fly the Millennium Falcon oh no you want as you want a space and maybe and maybe I'd like to see Han Solo past the Millennium Falcon down to her give it to her cuz she's a space pirate its kind of roguish maybe rush like Han Solo I might want to see that that's all I'm saying all right maybe that's why guys are good so TD force tell us for us tell us what you want to see him Star Wars Episode 7 very cool Oh some other crazy spacy statistics are happening in real life ok so Amazon did is doing what okay well first I have to tell you about power wall also amazona be the last one so power wall is Elon Musk's new crazy idea of like he's always had these great ideas but awesome actually not so crazy it's pretty impressive so last week on Thursday Elon Musk announced power wall so there it is you can see it's like a little sort of unit that mounts on your wall on your house and what this is is a battery backup product and so you mount this on your house there's 14 houses and one for industrial use and what it does is you have solar panels on your house it stores electricity from those solar panels so they are see you can see oh look it's like filling up and then so it'll fill those up during non-peak hours so it may be like you know later in the day or earlier in the morning you get Sun it'll fill this up and then during peak hours when people use the most electricity your house will draw power from that pack from from power from power wall so that way you're not paying as much because obviously during peak hours that's when your rates are the highest and then on top of that it would help during a blackout so if there was a blackout or a lot of times in California when it gets really really hot we have rolling blackouts because the state the grid cannot handle everybody running your air conditioning well this would sort of alleviate some of those problems especially and also potentially bring this type of technology electricity in almost a generator kind of sense to maybe emerging markets in the future so this might be something that a less-developed home might be able to have going at some point in the future obviously this is gonna be really expensive at first but in the future we might be able to see people have electricity and a little bit more of a consistent way in more developing countries so pretty cool stuff there's no reason not to use solar energy yeah i would i would a lan if your I know you're watching clearly a huge fan of the show uh i would suggest maybe doing some starter demos and like have some people enter a contest and maybe some lower income housing they get it first so they can try it out they'll get to save money you'll get to have some good PR on your hands and also you know try it out so I know a lot about solar power and how people sort of use it i guess one of the things is that's kind of problematic is when you have seen these solar panels a lot of times they will sell that extra energy that excess energy back to the power company first for like a wholesale rate but then it gets sold back out to people at at retail cost which is not really efficient the other thing is is like there's a sort of illness is kind of looking again cut out that middleman so this is a really interesting it's like a bank it saves it rather than yeah your banking energy Dinkin for when you need it the most which is either when your power goes out or during peak hours so which is pretty cool um certified installers are gonna be able to buy these there are two different versions there's a seven and a 10 kilowatt hour version and they'll be 3035 hundred dollars for installers to buy and then of course they'll have to turn that around like then you go to a certified installer say I'd like to have this in my house and so they would they put it in your house I don't know i don't i think that is not including the cost of also having solar put in your house which it's kind of a big deal but of course you get like um you get rebates and things like that from the government and for you know doing putting putting your house in a sort of green energy state so that's helpful they're open source patents once again open source so anybody can improve upon this technology just like Tesla released the patents for their cars their larger cars and someday maybe homes with solar panels would be grid independent they would not need the grid that would be amazing which would be pretty cool so um limited production later this year and then as soon as they're giant like gigawatt battery factory or whatever it is in Nevada opens up they'll go into like full production modes next year nice crazy stuff yeah gimme so okay so talk about Amazon please okay so it's not quite amazon it's just the co-founder bands on Jeff Bezos it accounts for me is he was in the news this last week unfortunately i wish i could tell you they were launching amazon space where they like deliver like two day prime to the ISS but no it just takes know they send your package to space and it's a pre i'm gonna get yeah exactly um so he announced last week that his spaceflight company which i didn't know he had his face flight company i don't think anybody really did Blue Origin blue origin is his spaceflight company they had completed their first space flight test with a new space vehicle which you're seeing on the screen right now called new Shepherd this spacecraft is attempting to do the same thing SpaceX is trying to deal with his dragon rockets so they're trying to create a reusable rocket they want to be able to land these things and relaunch them which is pretty interesting it carries up to six people its first test flight was last week and everything went according to plan except for the landing which of course the rocket crashed so it didn't quite make it I think that sucks right now is the workout but but I love jeff bezos really trying to like spin it in a positive way and he was like if this were a traditional mission it would have been a rousing success because you know Rockets crash at the end of traditional missions and they're trying to make this reusable so um so everything else went according to plan but unfortunately not the landing did not but they want to fly it again soon they said they are making more propulsion modules as we speak and as soon as that's ready they'll be able to try again and they want to do a test flight every single month for the next couple years who do you thinks gonna get there first Oh blue origins gonna get there first do you think Elon Musk kind of get there it's gonna be I think it's gonna be speeding SpaceX yeah okay tell you what you take SpaceX and I'll take margin I'll take Blue Origin and not because I believe that SpaceX isn't gonna make it I just think we need to split the data center I'm gonna give you a piece of information that might you actually might feel excited about that might help your cause blue origin is thinking about using a particular type of kind of reusable where it's the best way to describe this they would actually like catch it in midair and instead of trying to land it they would like kind of catch it in midair and like attach a parachute I like I was reading it's like super vague the way that they described it there there is some mid air reusable theory that they're gonna try to do at some point I don't know if it's with this particular rocket I don't think it is but there's some technology that they're considering with some new I think engine that they want to do sort of mid air rescues of like these Rockets as they come back down as opposed to trying to land them vertically on to Terra Firma so that might help your cause maybe it'll help your guns okay so blue origin SpaceX a sex let's do this team dragon team dragon um but that's it for the news that's it for the headlines we will be right back with a with a VR headset that might add a few more senses to your virtual reality experience and of course your TD tat user feedback which was amazing and our photogra for the day so don't click wit smart daily but before we go check out this labyrinth coffee table welcome back to the show we've returned it's a Monday which means it's time to take a look at a crowdfunding effort and decide whether or not we'd give it our money it's time for back at her hackett we've all seen tumblers of like people using oculus rift people using VR headsets can you can you there you go that's that's the look yep that's the one it's really wait do or on time there we go great um I just want to make sure people have that for a gift that face is glorious so um if you haven't felt ridiculous using an oculus rift or any other VR headset both of us this is going to add to that because this is the feel real VR mask and this thing attaches don't say to your mouth via magnet to the bottom half of your face and adds wind heat smell water mist and vibration to your VR experience it is very weird hot air and cool air like you look like it probably makes you look into super villain do they show you look like you're in def Punk actually the hell there's a whole helmet will get some good so it uses batteries it connects to your computer via bluetooth there's a microphone in it it has removable smell cartridges up to 7 yep there they are there's smell cartridges so you can put out like coffee or like other weird smells uh there's a neat what they're calling an easy SDK for developers to integrate this headset into their games and apps they're saying it will only take a few clicks like and you'll get you know Bailey put it in there they works with actual perfume like incent companies to get these cartridges right apparently like this is sort of a thing and then also they have some software called the feel real player which will let you open up a movie and add your own feel real VR effects to films so you can wear like the mask whatever oh yeah this is where I was up in Big Sur and it smells like pine here so i'm going to add pine scent okay so here's the vert headset the vert headset you put your phone in there and this is sort of the top-of-the-line model as 3d video to the micro projector inside it's a little micro projector I mean it's a little bit insane as I'm down with the full helmet downsville helmet okay so there's there's actually multiple products in this Kickstarter so there's the mask which is the bit the base thing and then there is a helmet which is the full experience and then verte is the top end model with this like micro projector in it so um yeah that's uh that's happening okay so that's a Kickstarter we can we go to cost now or I mean like how much you have to donate to get we okay they want fifty thousand dollars which is it bad not a lot of money yeah currently as I'm looking at it on the website they have 8802 dollars they have 23 days left maybe okay okay uh starting off if you want the consumer version the early consumer version of the mask so not a dev kit early consumer version it is three hundred dollars okay and it comes with a charging docking station a demo the feel real player and 3d game with all the way what's with the sexy image uh yeah there's a lot of that it ok anyway continue sorry sorry if you would like the helmet the early consumer version of the helmet docking station a demo feel real player and 3d game with all effects that is six hundred dollars and if you would like the special edition VIP consumer version of the vert helmet which is the one with the UM projector micro projector and it he'll have your engraved name in it it's special like matte black and red design all the stuff seven hundred and fifty dollars estimated delivery by the way October 2015 let's keep in mind that oculus rift is not even available right now and may not be until next year we don't even know if oculus is going to be ready to release the rift in 2015 we have no idea hololens says this year we still don't know there's no release dates for anything except smartphones so just as an FYI this says October 2015 and we don't know when anything else any other major headset is getting released okay so go ahead i love i love the RNA are yep i love the idea of us pushing to further immersion and i love that these guys are doing this microphone microphone the audio there's still so many there's with the but there's still so many hurdles we have to overcome before we need smell like we need to get 360 sound which we're still working on huh-uh we need to get the actual feeling of immersion but I'll never been like I want to get but I I never get excited about smell like they never get Avengers like I don't want to smell the Hulkbuster fight I don't know it's like charred bodies and the Hulk is probably not he doesn't seem like you would smell very good and then it's like metal and burning and lasers like I don't want to smell that I don't want to snow I like the idea that but the thing that excited me was the idea of going to full helmet where it starts controlling everything around you cuz ya the VR headset on you can still look slide your phone and you can have the helmet and it like blows on your hair if you're like sailing through the air that's kind of cool okay so I say oh it's only 50,000 they want they only want 50,000 they're not even at ten they have 23 days left and they want at least three hundred dollars just for the lower mask and 600 for the full face mask oh I don't pack it I spent it on Hackett can I go middle ground can you say tentatively placed on hold like support placed on hold until further notice like I'm just I'm gonna cautiously watch from a distance I see okay so not hack it but just maybe a little maybe a little we'll just keep it Barry okay what about you I think I'm the same actually I'm just gonna say no like I'm gonna say I'm out I don't I don't need this um I mean listen guys I'm all about smell-o-vision and weird like 1950s b-movie technology made into like futuristic technology but I I don't there are so many situations and games and movies that I feel I do not want to smell not even that I would be interested in wouldn't like it but just i I don't I don't want to be there like I don't want to be in those stitch I don't want to be placed even further in those situations I think it would be gross like if you did a drastic world one you'd smell dinosaur poop probably a lot I know he went straight to poop but yeah but I say look at this drastic world I mean that would be like one of the top smells in that park am i right because they're giant creatures probably dead carcasses are harvested great to poo poo like you would not want it's not even going to see it let me explain it this way you go to SeaWorld and there's not a lot of good smells there you go to any zoom but it's like fish it's not proposing any zoo there's not a lot of good smells there where is it wait so Ashley actually goes well if I'm gonna try VR headset and it's gonna have smell-o-vision definitely gonna smell poop cuz you will assume you're like oh that's his out if I experienced Hulk and you'd smell Hulk poop like I'm saying he would be stinky he probably smell like sweat he's his smell sweaty seems like he lifts that's what I'm saying fair enough what have you went to like a simulation where you're flying through the air or okay fine like like Soarin over California Disneyland yeah great sign me up but then you fly over poop but then what if you fly over a cow farm that's what I'm saying sometimes smell-o-vision is not a thing I need in my future technology that's all I'm saying that's all that's my final word on that all right but yeah it's called the feel real it's all one word feel real virtual reality mask you probably don't smell poop but there that's probably not but you know what I bet you someone will make a cartridge for it yeah it does come tomorrow yes so there you go and you can probably prank your friends yes very true um speaking of friends we have friends that's you guys so it's time for user feedback last week we talked about that really awesome tattoo that came to life the AR tattoo I'm of that yeah that was soo to the comic creator for modern plexus ok so we asked you guys to use the hashtag TD tats tell us what tattoo you and gettin how it would come to life you did not disappoint as always Aidan wrote in and said i would get Pikachu from pokemon doing Thunder shock or a one from Harry Potter illuminating that's very cool brilliant um Neil wrote in and said hollow lens with tattoos and have to dear etro platformers with levels based on your body hashtag pants must be worn shakti tap Joseph wrote in and said I would get a QR code so that if I had to go to the hospital and was unresponsive they could scan the code and pull up my info that's actually uh it's not a thing but it is something people have talked about is these sort of these little kind of like medical code that you'd be able to scan in and then if something happened to you they'd be able to sort of tap into an in case of emergency sort of thing but I think the big thing is is like if you're walking around with a tattoo you wouldn't want other people to scan it and get that info so kind of but I totally know what you're talking about it's a good idea um Daniel wrote in and said I would have a tattoo where it's 8-bit Mario but I can play the game by holding it up to a nap oh wow like that all right um yeah little 8-bit Mario that comes to life uh an ultra super wrote in and said my teen eat at would be shaped like Shrek and when i unlock my phone with it the phone would say its all ogre now hahahahaha shrek is love shrek his life I like it then we got a couple emails Rob said I'd get the Star Wars logo tattoo including a space sleeve and when I waved the phone of the logo x-wings would fly out and shoot TIE fighters and lead up to the blowing up of the Death Star all this is happening while the space animated in the background of the Star Wars theme played that is intense that's like a living sleeve you're gonna get sued the illustrated man yeah you're gonna get a CMD know it's a that's a good idea and then Nick wrote and said hi Kailen Ashley that's the guy who wrote in the lawn Kaname Melly said I promise I'll keep it short this time a tattoo of a small train on my wrist with AR the train would come to life and chug its way up my arm and down the other my hometown is famous for train so it'd be like having a little piece of home with me wherever I go and then the second one I was a wolf on my leg when viewed as a are the wolf had come to life and do my bidding similar to tattoo from the movie Elektra what at home he could terrorize my cats and see assuming they haven't feel feline AR devices I simply Kickstarter opportunity and away from home he could be sort of a bodyguard he brought me wouldn't be too effective today if he starts growling I would know I need to start running haha keep up the good work nick- 500 points for electro reference electrode I know exactly what scene you're talking about but but also now I'm er I remember plus a thousand points for AR goggles for cats so we said well he said like assuming they invent feline a our devices i smell a Kickstarter opportunity I feel like maybe a our headsets for cats might be a thing ya think we never really had to play them they could just give them like augmented reality ball of twine they can check a laser pointer they could chase any time there you go what are you some money huh yeah yeah our goggles for your kid here you're shut up tribute to talk about cat singers turbulence shut up turbulence leave me alone get out of here first problems go check your netflix and my cat I don't have time to play that I gotta bite an AR head inside your goggles ridicula that that image sounds really cool though I'd love to see a vision with it that'd be pretty awesome little iron man cat a little higher man catch a baby um all right guys we got to talk about our last piece of user feedback which is always our phone talk for the day previously on this sentence um pin wrote in our friend pin oh yeah pen brilliant pin Rodin said hey Ashley and kill I live in Baltimore as I was running errands around town after the Freddie gray protests and riots I took pictures of Baltimore to post on facebook to show the outside of the right area that outside of the
