0:08
as well as hyperx we're kicking things off in the Intel Booth with something
0:12
really really exciting these guys are called open bionics and they're using
0:17
Intel's real sense 3D camera in order to
0:20
print 3D hands and then scan the uh the
0:25
ARM that they are going to then create a socket for and then they actually can
0:30
put the hand on someone who doesn't actually have a hand I mean this is holy
0:35
crap this is amazing so the way it works is
0:38
okay that is incredible so the way it works is there are actually sensors
0:43
attached to the muscles on Dan's ARM here that allow him to control this hand
0:48
and can can you tell me about what it's like to to use it well it's pretty
0:53
surreal to be honest with you like um I was born with one hand so obviously I
0:56
was able to adapt and now I'm adapting to using two hands so this now I this is
1:00
my third day of using it on the go so this is our be this is our second
1:03
prototype and like it's coming so natural to me to be using so it's crazy
1:08
it's it's surreal but I loving it and we're getting so much great feedback
1:11
from anybody and it's just awesome to be part of so yeah I don't know I just just
1:16
so much emotions right now it's crazy I mean that is so incredible it takes
1:20
apparently 3 to four days to print one
1:23
hand so there's a lot of work still to be done but it's incredible because I
1:28
mean what what 30 years ago 35 years ago
1:31
whenever Empire Strikes Back came out you looked at that scene where you know
1:35
Luke Mark Hamill gets his hand put back on you go wow holy crap maybe in a
1:39
thousand years I don't know man really I
1:42
do love L I love Star Wars so that's it's it's awesome I've been a few people
1:46
have said that and it's uh it's pretty cool to be part to be saying oh you're
1:49
like a bit like zuk skyer I'm like hell yeah I'm like zuk Skywalker I love it
1:52
it's amazing so I sort of slightly feel um cyborg as well but I like I don't
1:57
mind I like that it's cool that's so cool man but the 3D printing amazingness
2:02
doesn't stop there at the Intel Booth this is a concept well it's a piece of
2:07
Hardware that has to do with a concept that Intel's calling Blended reality
2:10
which is basically the idea that we can take digital objects and turn them into
2:15
real objects through 3D printing in fact they've got some 3D printed stuff over
2:18
here that's pretty Cutting Edge stuff so a some stuff that's printed out much
2:22
finer than we've been able to do in the past B they've got a link right here
2:26
that can support 10,000 lb they've also got a working pair of scissors and a 3D
2:30
printed spring and then the whole Blended reality thing also encompasses
2:35
taking real objects and turning those into digital objects that we can then
2:39
modify and do with as we please so I'm going to go ahead and fire up the HP
2:43
Sprout it's a pretty normal looking for the most part Allin one PC at first
2:49
glance it's got a core i7 processor 8 gigs of RAM 1 tby drive it comes with a
2:53
wireless keyboard and mouse 1080p screen touchcreen all that good stuff but this
2:58
right here this magnetic 20 point multi-touch interactive surface
3:03
thing is where the magic happens so I'm going to go ahead and do a 2d capture
3:06
that goes pretty much instantaneously I'm just going to let it kind of do its
3:10
thing there's four cameras up here in this top mounted unit an infrared one a
3:14
real sense 3D one that does depth sensing as well as two additional ones
3:18
and there's a projector reflector that turns this bottom piece right here into
3:24
a perfectly usable 20 point multi-touch screen so I'm going to go ahead and
3:27
click confirm and we're going to have these object show up in our image
3:31
library that we can then use the interface here to go ahead and interact
3:36
with so here's the ones that I just scann I'm going to go ahead and throw my little fabric pattern thing on here I
3:41
can rotate this I can you know I can write on it or whatever else the case
3:45
may be I'll go ahead I'm going to pick this pen you know hello and what's cool
3:51
about this is that aside from being able to use it as uh like a creative
3:56
workspace it can also just be used as a secondary screen so this is a great demo
4:00
where they're just firing up maps and whipping things around it's not the
4:04
highest resolution thing in the world but it's more about the functionality of
4:08
it than necessarily the you know the number of pixels now the really cool
4:12
thing here though is I mentioned turning 3D objects into 3D renders so the demo
4:17
that they showed us is scanning this mask now it's not perfect yet so my
4:21
first question was you know yes we can scan sort of the the top surface of it
4:26
but there are some gaps are you guys going to be able to create full 300 160°
4:31
models of these on the computer and the answer is with a piece of Hardware that
4:35
will augment this rather than replace it yes so there's going to be like a rotating table this is freaking amazing
4:41
stuff right here so speaking of amazing stuff our amazing sponsors thank you for
4:45
sending us down here one of them is Phantom glass these guys make the best
4:49
irn screen protectors out there they're Gorilla Glass so they're perfectly clear they feel good on your fingers they're
4:53
easy to apply with no bubbles and they're extremely durable you can check those out at store. Phantom dog glass
4:58
and I want to do a shout out to hyperx those guys have a great YouTube channel
5:01
with lots of great gaming content youtube.com/ hyx we' got both of those
5:05
guys Linked In the video description don't miss any of our CES content by
5:08
making sure you're subscribed and I think that pretty much wraps this video
5:12
up was that cool or what
