Tomorrow Daily - Whiny potholes tweet at local government when hit by cars, Ep. 187

2015-06-02
on today's show MIT strikes again with another robot but this time is really really really tiny a new 360 VR camera that beats google and GoPros take that and a pothole that tweets its problems hashtag deal with it tomorrow daily greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best ski talk show him in our universe I'm your host Ashley skillet joining me as always kale anonymous um it looks really good you can't even tell it's fake thanks it's 3d printed Oh 3d printed yeah it also has a Wi-Fi network ain't that the truth here's that lines you had no idea you're completely caught off guard no that was that was on my level of bad puns like that was way down in Ashley ville punt puns ville it's bad so good Ashley Phil population population this girl right here um let's talk about this puddle it's a bit a sh leave ill does not have oils we're starting with a pothole the other one we got a little robot we got a potholing out via oh yeah okay uh la cote with general is a Twitter account but it's a pothole pothole has his own Twitter account great now everything has everything has its web account but there's actually purpose to this it has over 3000 followers it's in Panama it's as I said a real pothole and it has a little device inside that looks like a like a hockey puck but with a hashtag symbol on it and there is there are pressure and motion sensors inside the paddles apparently potholes are a pretty bad problem in Panama like people complain about them all the time alright yeah so after your car there is a daily news show in Panama called telemetry Oh reporte and that's the tweet that's that's the digit tweeting pothole so they have a bunch of them all over this city and they were like it makes every time a car runs over them and the pressure sensors or the motion sensors detect it's been run over and hit by a car it sends out that there's an RF transmitter inside it sends out a tweet officially on Twitter that says things like and they get creative with it too which is hilarious it says I feel terrible I just cost tire damage to an old lady's car oh wow so it gets creative with the tweets like I'm sure they have a whole bunch of different ones that they have like loaded up for when people hit them and they they've made a really big deal out of this on this news on this daily news show and they do a segment about the tweets of a pothole they're like guys like this is serious problem try to keep away from me so I'm tired of being blamed every time a car crash happens when drivers try to keep away from me Wow repair the streets and it tweets and it tags the it tags the ministry of public works every single time the car hits it so it's like at like and it tags the ministry so it actually is working these potholes are getting repaired which is pretty funny oh nice there is a there is a google map you can access on this daily show's website that's a there yo so they're getting them fixed that has a gue it's a google map of all of the locations of the different tweeting potholes and they are getting fixed which is pretty cool so and even the Minister of Public Works came on this daily talk show and and talked about this issue and was like I mean there was some blame shuffled around worries i go it's this and here's why we can't do it but they are getting fixed so pretty cool using Twitter to solve problems in a really weird this progressive the second time we've seen someone try to resolve the pothole issue with some clever way like spray painted like genital like yeah yeah he's and the people and the city was like we can't have that bottle let's fix it up so yeah this is a great way to go public shaming via pothole it's like public puddle shaming I love this so and I thought that it would be really fun to talk about the hashtag of the day which would be TD pothole and we could discuss what you guys and what we think what kinds of issues that we could maybe get solved if we did something like this like what's an issue it's like a issue out in the city then easy it solved like farting in elevators oh that would be a good one yeah sulfur sensor the sulfur sensor that's pretty good in the elevator maybe it could pinpoint who it was well that's I'm saying where it's like it's that girl but I'd say Alex series voice yeah okay so go ahead no I like it I stop farting Ashley yes yeah I don't think I can do a series really good serious okay what about you I want to say littering like it feels like we could do something with littering where there's motion sensors are trash cans like so if you throw something and it misses like it's got like it may be oscar the grouch like yells you from inside the trash cans like hey straight subway I need that I'm hungry very fun though oh man so the trash cans are hungry Jose like hey pal feed me like someone walks up here near it and are like feed me like real quiet fee or they could make it so that if you throw it at the trash can you miss it like it makes like a booing audience like a basketball or sad trombone yeah that's gonna be amazing so yeah TD pothole that's your hashtag get creative with it tell us what what social Civic issue would you like to fix with uh with tweet shaming which I'm I'm assuming as a thing right tweet shaving sure alright VR okay so Google i/o sucked ah what I'm gonna say except for the the fact that they're trying to integrate a little bit more into the VR world everybody is kind of getting in the VR world biggest issue is how you're gonna record VR right like right how I gotta capture that VR 360 view well well that jump was so expensive well yeah the jump is really expensive well this this group has decided they pumped with an easier solution okay and what google introduced which was the jump at their I oh okay this is an omni polar camera it only requires six cameras and apparently it's going to be a lot cheaper okay okay let's walk through this how do we owe this so basically this this camera has six six cameras with three fisheye lenses both on the top there's three on top three on the bottom and then it has an algorithm that like system built in so that it it kind of blends all those cameras together all the fisheye lens cameras very nice okay together this was unveiled at the i-x symposium in Montreal is designed by Vincent choppa choppa d'alene culture and Sebastian Roy yeah so again special software algorithm allows the camera to capture 3d video instead of just the 360 right like a like a photo sphere kind of thing yeah right catches it's like a actual 3d video that you can you know kind of move around the space and if you're wearing a headset is awesome so each camera each one captures its own image and that its digits or um okay so the thing is what they're aiming for here is cost because look I'm not gonna buy 16 GoPro no for the jump I'm not even gonna rent 16 go for the sugar so they're hoping that it's gonna they can get it to like a couple hundred bucks that's which it doesn't look like it looks like its cost more than a couple hundred bucks it feels like it needs a housing like look at this so if we're looking at it right now like it's got three other cameras and a triangle shape on the bottom as well it feels like this needs to be Houston something but I get that you have to be able to capture all the images around you unobstructed so I guess maybe not yeah well you know a couple hundred bucks I mean it's feel like it's still an experiment they don't really have a release date so I mean you can't take it too excited maybe looked at least it's an idea yeah I think that's probably where they're going they might just cook it some virtual reality and let's toss them by a never getting Apple in here elbow Apple hasn't even touch the VR market but they did just buy an AR company they just bonding our company right we're gonna skip the VR market they might just do it yeah probably should do a microsoft microsoft web viable buyer I mean this is a really I love this because Google talked a lot at i/o about getting people like they were saying oh you can experience these like life events like what if you could instead of having just a picture of an event like live through a family event or whatever and it's like I get that but you're not going to spend eight grand for those GoPros for hero fours 16 hero for is plus a microphone plus the the jump rig like you're not going to pay ten thousand dollars for that yeah and so just to have it up like your wedding like I mean sigh maybe some people some rich people will fine and that would be really cool but you know this is an opportunity for me and you to have a VR capture system which I would love I would love to do wouldn't you love to do one episode of trauma daily and virtual reality there be so rad I would love that I feel like we could just put you in Virtual Reality permanently we would never see you in person it yeah just digi kale yeah did you kill did you kill you so you can just shut me off it I like it you're just like power you down good um okay I want to tell you about this robot you're gonna flip out when you see this video Kayla's not seen this video yet you might freak out so MIT we talked about Robo cheetah yesterday this is the untethered miniature origami robot and it is exact what it sounds like it is not connected to any cables here's the robot right here oh it's cute it folds itself up into its own little robot you can see that's five times the speed so not terribly quick a sped up video but still definitely sped up into doing and then it goes around and does stuff it completes tasks it can walk on a trajectory it can get can be given a path and can walk around on a path it can do things like climb carry objects it can walk on your skin it can swim it can dig through stuff that's scary okay it's so cool like it's gonna deliver this block into that little into that little enclosure Oh many splits goodbye see you later there he is swimming he's like we like I love this little robot so much he's only this robot is only 1 point 7 centimeter square it can carry a load he can carry some stuff it needs to deliver things my god this thing is so cute here it is climbing it's climbing a little slow jumps off the edge this is like I mean it's like BASE jumping but for the little robot feel like he's like we thought he takes off it's entertaining itself okay it can dig it through stack so here's it did digging attack that it's so crazy it's creepy I love this uh I get any so cute he's adorable and so here's and then very lastly it fully dissolves in acetone so the robot good i believe that you can fully dissolve in acetone ok so it's powered by small magnet and for electromagnetic coils that create magnetic fields that enable the robot to move around and do tasks so the point of this is and this is I know we always talk about goals here there is an actual in-game yeah besides an adorable little roadsides just being the cutest robot ever mit wants to make even smaller robots that are based on this kind of idea they want to get to the point where they can make these really really tiny robots with an injective extra sensors on them that can be and also can dissolve in water so that they can put them in your body and do things like some of the examples that i was reading online were like clean out your arteries and kill like target cancer cells insane insane stuff so to keep us healthy which so someday the descendants of this little origami robot may in fact be injected into your bloodstream to clean out your arteries from eating all that delicious delicious chipotle you got every day for lunch yeah kels already freaked out I already see a supervillain like a gym oh it's too late bond I've already put millions of micro robots in the water supply and them now making no way do humans bodies and breaking them down from the inside wow haha any already freed himself and say Bella I think you just gave up a plateau Specter in fact I think that is actually the plot of James the new James Bond and if not it should be and we need right this is like the third little robot type thing that they want to inject in your body that we've seen right there's a biodegradable biodegradable box these sort of like grit the gripper bought that we saw that was smaller than like the edge of a nickel like we've seen like a lot of these robots that that science is working very actively on that are intended to be injected in your body or complete a task and then either dissolve self-destruct or otherwise like disappears I think the artery thing could save a lot of people well yeah I mean what if she's you guys I eat a lot of fast food so I have like I need that robot to fit into my arteries so that I can clean it out so you just take a bunch of robots instead of vitamins just eat robot you're you're having and all the bread all comes with little robots that you eat after those meals God weird this is such an American conversation it is a terribly American um but yeah so that's it that's the little little origami robot which I thought was amazing i love that it just assembles itself and then just takes off but that's it for headlines will be right back it's tuesday so we have a whole batch of new releases a bunch of stuff movies TV we're not movies TV movies and video games some good stuff this week and then of course your user feedback and our firm tiger for the day so don't click away it's tomorrow daily my god nope I know fall you're you are fall outing really hard today I didn't even you can't see our camera but I got my fallout 101 volatile it here pull your boat shoes yeah go ahead pull it up wow do you do yoga do you even yoga bro what hello excuse me um but there you go yeah got my fall out to use a pit boys shirt you could call a necklace necklace I mean you're literally like I'm surprised you don't have jump suit pants I have a jumpsuit I know you have a job word on this I'm on the show I'm just very sure you did alright alright let's talk about new releases its tuesday doesn't good stuff this week talk about new releases well first of all uh we don't have this we don't have graphics for this but Ark is out which is that yes dinosaur taming game yes I didn't realize it was out today I thought it was like last cuz i was on twitch alpha it's out an alpha today yeah so it's free they gave you free to some streamers dinosaur second most extreme thing yesterday I don't know about to the crazy dinosaur games out today who go ahead first up heroes of the storm out today which MOBA categorized but a blizzard likes to call it a hero brawler they're like it's not really mobo cuz it's like got some different play mechanics a MOBA it's a MOBA so it's they like called hero brawler here's the storm out today it's a freemium game you can literally go download it for free and that what they charge you for is what they do is very similar to if i'm not mistaken league of legends where you have a set number of heroes and then they rotate the available free heroes over time like every once a week or whatever it is like every patch of rotate I don't know how often they rotate but you get a set of heroes for free that you can use with standard skins and then you can pay microtransactions for extra skins like for example my Diablo has Merc hablo so it's dressed up like a murloc from World of Warcraft it's delightful it's more about unlocking characters that aren't in rotation right I'm so you can pay to unlock other characters that are not in rotation if you have a favorite character that you don't want to see go into the lock you can unlock them permanently all that stuff so yeah how many characters are there total a lot and I don't I know yet today they released Johanna which is like a diablo 3 character which people were pretty excited about they just announced like they have the lost vikings they've got kael'thas i mean these are all of your favorite like blizzard heroes not i cannot play with the Lost Vikings are so hard they're really hard I used to play Sabbath ER but then I just it really takes a special player to play as abitha I'm like I really love and you get like mounts and all this stuff so guys like if you can check it out if this is anything that you're interested in like here's a star was pretty fun also out massive chalice massive chalice is out another realtime strategy i'm a really neat rows obviously you guys know I'm a really big double flying fan I backed this full disclosure I back to this on Kickstarter it is fine out officially I have a house in this game house I haven't you were able that was like the tier that i picked where you were able to like put in a family crest and all this stuff so the point of massive chalice is like it's sort of a you have your kingdom and it lasts four thousand years and so for example if you have a hero you have to decide if that hero is going to stay home and make babies wait and and continue your bloodline with this like great warrior or you can like send them out into battle and it's really fun and the graphics are cool and it's super enjoyable so if again if that's a type of game that you're into a genre game you're into so you guys really enjoy this yes it's real time strategy okay real phone charger so that's really fun and then we got some movies coming up this week big time we got entourage coming out this week so what's the game what game lego jurassic park oh no that's next week no it's this week that's not what i saw in the calendar i'm gonna double check ok GG may be right entourage is coming out this Friday if you missed the the adventures of our gold and crew I've never seen any episode so I have literally never seen an episode of entourage as well people seem to be excited about it I you know it's like bro code I guess but yeah it looks funny enough there was a really funny thing with Ronda Rousey that I that made me laugh really hard where she like beets she's my beat-up what's-his-face that's her stick in everything well yeah I mean that's like what

Jude Law like this looks really funny um you saw k i'll give us your review i'm not a fan of melissa mccarthy's comedy to you know traditionally I'm not like you like woo yay but she has somehow fine-tuned every single aspect of it to the point where she's solid and after seeing this I was like she's a star she's a comedy she's a comedy star especially and it was great and Jason Statham steals the show every single time it's amazing yeah it's great you'll be surprised by this if it's one of those weekends r you get kind of like bored not sure go if you're bored go see it you'll have

my support i do my homework it's all like everything except pc i'm sorry well it makes you sad um but you know it doesn't shouldn't make you sad our amazing viewers who wrote in to us it's time for user feedback I'm gonna make you happy right now nilesh wrote in and said happy birthday producer Logan hashtag TD muy money muy pronto hahaha do that Logan yes hey dead nice so thank you he did he did get song is great these are one person to do it fantastic so thank you very much we asked you guys use a hashtag TDI o to talk about what you were missing at Google i/o a lot you guys wrote in Rick Rhoden said I was really hoping to see a finished product of project ara a working modular phone with all of its modules but we got nothing no they did have a press conference project ara what Tim Stevens and I walked by there and they had a whole bunch of like they had a big pin board wall where you could like put in modules like these things like door hanger looking things I was like what smartphone would you build and it was really cool but there wasn't anything actually like usable but they did say that they you know they're still working on everything they did have a booth at Google i/o even though there wasn't anything really substantial to look at so just as an FYI Dustin Rodin said TDI oh I was hoping for an advanced AI integrated into a smart self driving car hashtag Knight Rider hashtag next year LOL I like that google i/o 26 to a grand Knight Rider year year the Knight Rider Dane wrote in and said self-driving plane okay that's a bad idea that's Skynet right there that's nothing much yeah that's actually exactly so that's kinda so like Skynet and then lastly pin emailed us our good friend pin wrote and said ello SE and kale not not a terribly long email i promised i was expecting google new now it's a greater leap of innovation in the development of Google cardboard eg use of the smart phones back camera to implement a our integration of Bluetooth game controller for vr gaming integration of leap motion like device mounted on the headset to incorporate hand motion vr gaming so some sort of leap on the headset and then also not only confirm the rumor that Nintendo's next gaming devices built on top of Android but also built on top of Google cardboard Mario car be our baby which by the way Nintendo just this morning said nope not built on Android no not we they're like we normally don't respond to rumors but since this one went global we're literally squashing this right now and saying definitely not built on Android platform so NX will not be an Android based operating system and that's that was our user feedback that I that I really enjoyed but now it is time for very last PC user feedback which is always our photog refer of the day did a picture fall out and I wish it was you know what though you could imagine if fallout happened what this picture would look like in the future could we do that I do that every day but yeah let's see fair enough kales kales eyes are actually just a are goggles set up to make everything look like a post-apocalyptic wasteland I just just FYI everybody here's a special pair of contacts are they in raw yeah it's gross little fallout that's the name of that project to the labs through Lex labs gene wrote in and said hi guys I want to share a photo I took of the monstrous Sears Tower in Chicago on a beautiful sunny day from a pedestrian perspective which I work right next to to be honest my main intent was to test out my new samsung galaxy s6 edge didn't supposed it amazing camera I think the result speaks for itself but I thought it was still a good shot regardless hope you enjoy jean p/s love the show keep up the great work yeah great picture it really really is it's so good and like I
