Linus tech tips coverage of CES 2015 is brought to you by phantom glass visit store dot phantom dot glass for the best iron screen protectors out there as well as HyperX we're kicking things off in the Intel booth with something really really exciting these guys are called open bionics and they're using intel's realsense 3d camera in order to print 3d hands and then skin the the arm that they are going to then create a socket for and then they actually can put the hand on someone who doesn't actually have a hand I mean this is holy crap this is amazing so the way it works is okay that is incredible so the way it works is there are actually sensors attached to the muscles on Dan's arm here that allow him to control this hand and can you tell me about what it's like to use it well it's pretty surreal to be honest with you like I was born with one hand so obviously I was able to adapt and now I'm adapting to using two hands so this now is my third day of using it on the go so this our beta this is our second prototype and it's coming so natural to me to be using so it's crazy it's it's surreal but I loving it and we getting so much great feedback from anybody and it's just awesome to be part of so yeah I don't know I just so much emotions right now that's crazy I think that is so incredible it takes apparently three to four days to print one hand so there's a lot of work still to be done but it's incredible because I mean what would thirty years ago 35 years ago whenever Empire Strikes Back came out you look at that scene where you know Luke Mark Hamill gets his hand put back on you go WOW holy crap maybe in a thousand years I don't know man that's awesome I've been a few people that said that and it's it's pretty cool to be bad to be saying oh you're like a bit like Zeke's Coco like heli I'm like yeah well I love it it's amazing so I sort of slightly filled cyborg II as well but I don't mind I like that that's cool that's so cool man but the 3d printing amazingness doesn't stop there at the Intel booth this is a concept well it's a piece of hardware that has to do with a concept that Intel is calling blended reality which is basically the idea that we can take digital objects and turn them into real objects through 3d printing in fact they've got some 3d printed stuff over here that's pretty cutting-edge stuff so a some stuff that's printed out much finer than we've been able to do in the past be they've got a link right here that can support ten thousand pounds they've also got a working pair of scissors and a 3d printed spring and then the whole blended reality thing also encompasses taking real objects and turning those into digital objects that we can then modify and do with as we please so I'm going to go ahead and fire up the HP sprout it's a pretty normal looking for the most part all-in-one PC at first glance it's got a Core i7 processor eight gigs ram one terabyte drive it comes with a wireless keyboard and mouse 1080p screen touchscreen all that good stuff but this right here this magnetic 20 point multi-touch interactive surface thing is where the magic happens so I'm gonna go ahead and do a 2d capture that goes pretty much instantaneously I'm just gonna let it kind of do its thing there's four cameras up here in this top mounted unit and infrared one a real sense 3d one that does depth sensing as well as two additional ones and there's a projector reflector that turns this bottom piece right here into a perfectly usable twenty point multi-touch screen so I'm going to go ahead and click confirm and we're gonna have these objects show up in our image library that we can then use the interface here to go ahead and interact with so here's the ones that I just scanned I'm going to go ahead and throw my little fabric pattern thing on here I can rotate this I can you know I can write on it or whatever else the case may be I'll go ahead I'm gonna pick this pen you know hello and what's cool about this is that aside from being able to use it as like a creative workspace that can also just be used as a secondary screen so this is a great demo where they're just firing up maps and whipping things around it's not the highest resolution thing in the world but it's more about the functionality of it then necessarily the you know the number of pixels now the really cool thing here those I mentioned turning 3d objects into 3d renders so the demo that they showed us is scanning this mask now it's not perfect yet so my first question was you know yes we can scan sort of the the top surface of it but there are some gaps are you guys going to be able to create full 360 degree models of these on the computer and the answer is with a piece of hardware that will augment this rather than replace it yes so there's gonna be like a rotating table this is freaking amazing stuff right here so speaking of amazing stuff our amazing sponsors thank you for sending us down here one of them is phantom glass these guys make the best on screen protectors out there they're Gorilla Glass so they're perfectly clear they feel good on your fingers they're easy to apply with no bubbles and they're extremely durable you can check those out at Store da phantom Dawg glass and I want to do a shout out to HyperX those guys have a great YouTube channel for lots of great gaming content youtube.com slash hype Rex we've got both those guys linked in the video description don't miss any of our CES content by making sure you're subscribed and I think that pretty much wraps this video up was that cool or what
