2016-02-08
greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily the best geek talk show in the known universe I'm ashley's together and i'm jeff cannata and it is time for headlines let's do it we're a little late to this unreal VR story because it happened late last week but it is so cool that we just have to talk about it epic will be launching a virtual reality tool for it's unreal editor this year adding to the fever pitch of VR launch is scheduled for 2016 the editor looks pretty fun to use almost like a game in and of itself but extending game design into VR is actually an important step forward for developers making games on a PC for something you're going to play in VR doesn't always translate properly plus it's a pain for devs to have to continually swap between PC and VR to see their efforts in a 3d universe as opposed to a 2d one on a monitor the official release date for VR Unreal editor will be announced at GDC next month I think this is really cool not only does it make it seem easier to make VR in VR but I think it's going to open up game development to a whole range of people that don't necessarily have technical sales because you're just touching and manipulating things in the world like you would in natural human life would you would you say you'd call it a game changer yes I would excellent all right so there are a team of researchers in China who are showing off some incredible camouflage technology check this out the wuhan university team published their work a couple of weeks ago detailing how this camouflage works plasmonics displays cover a 3d printed chameleon model which is so cute and the plasmonic displays change color in real-time as they cross different color panels light sensors inside the chameleons eyes tell the panel's what color they should match but they're limited right now to just red green and blue in the future they say a more advanced version of this concept should be able to match any color making it a prime candidate for adaptive camouflage in the future and honestly really kind of setting up bud I don't know the next predator movie this is happening this is how I mean we're going to have invisibility cloaks in our lifetime it's happening the technology for this is pretty amazing and the journal the publication is very dense but a good read if you're into the science I enjoyed it so what do you think should we talk about this one or do you want to talk about VR really we got to talk about VR NVR I think that's a pretty exciting development I really do and we'll talk more about it on thursday when we deep dive but this also makes me very excited for GDC yes indeed and if you guys want to get in on the conversation you can use the hashtag hey TD yeah shout at us and then if we like what you say will incorporate it into our discussion on Thursday when we deep dive into our topics that's right so with that all said and done let's talk about our phone tog refer the day today I'm talking with today is Aaron who sent in this amazing picture that was taken with his iphone six-plus Aaron writes took this pic at the shards of glass in London with my iphone 6 plus it was a gorgeous day with the Sun at just the right angle I hope you enjoy this photo I love your show and of course give you permission to use this in the show this looks rendered it looks like something you'd see in an assassin's creed game it looks really pretty he did say he did say he used a filter he's you instant filter but still that is a pretty great shot of London with Tam's I just Oh makes me miss London so much yeah I haven't been since 2012 and now I find a long time either man what a beautiful day to it's usually foggy and grey but it looked so gorgeous gorgeous if you want to be like Aaron and send in your phone tog raphy email us tomorrow Tina calm informations there give us permission to use it on the show make sure you attach your pictures so we can actually see it and honestly tell us a little story about it cuz we love stories yeah and you can you can send those to us also we look at your feedback on the show you can talk to us individually on Twitter or the show all that information is here all the social networking sites that we like and also one last thing before we go make sure that you follow tomorrow daily on Instagram because multiple account login is going to be active ASAP which means you will be seeing a lot more activity on our Instagram feed so please go on there I'm very excited about that that is it for today's show we will be back tomorrow with a brand new docket of weird wonderful science fact meeting science fiction but in then be good humans hi guys
