You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. What does the future hold? Well, there's a lot of cool things happening in the world of tech. There are a lot of cool things happening. This, I don't think, is one of them. I mean, it's kind of cute a little thing, this little thing, this Pizza Hut projector. It's a new box that turns your pizza box into a projector. So it's called the Blockbuster Box.

And each Blockbuster Box has a special little pizza table in the front and you poke it out and you set your, the pizza never touches that the way the box is built. And you set your smartphone in there. You can download. They've got some like three or four free movies that they've got to deal with. Or you can, you know, if you have an app for Netflix or voodoo or whatever on your phone, You can, you know, you bring it up and then it magnifies it through this little hole and up onto, it's got a lens, and it goes up onto your wall. Okay.

First of all, it doesn't say how big it is up on your wall. I'm looking at one picture. I would much rather, I don't know, use the viewing screen I've purchased than see it through a pizza box. but I guess you know if you're somewhere and you don't have a television and you've watched everything on you

you watch everything on your phone which is possible you don't have a screen and so you put your phone everybody has a smartphone right well most people have a smartphone and you can slide it in there and throws the video

up on the wall for you. Isn't that wonderful? Isn't that wonderful? Thanks, Pizza Hut. I appreciate it. It'll be, you know, that'll be a cute little thing for him. No question about that. But speaking of throwing things up on a wall, they've got a keyboard now, which is your whole thing.

You have the keyboard, has a projector on the end. So you set the keyboard down, plop, up on the wall it goes. Huh? Kind of cool. Bloop. Now they claim it's visible under, you know, most indoor lighting, full HD resolution, 21 by 33 screen up on a wall. I don't know.

I kind of like it. I kind of like the idea of having, you know, one little thing that you carry around. Poop. And that's your computer. Now, they claim you got to plug it in. You can power it with your Android or your, or, or, or, your iPhone and you plug it in with the HDMI port and then they also have the Intel compute stick and I think there's a couple other sticks that you can purchase for that as well that gives you

the computer power but it has the screen I mean I kind of like it it looks kind of cool I kind of I kind of like it so you can set it up I mean you could use it anywhere right and it's up on a wall if you have a wall that's you know I don't know the wall I'm looking at here with carpeting and padding. I don't think it would be that good. Maybe at home, it's possible. Now, the Oculus Rift headsets. We talked about those before.

Those are starting to get pretty good, and they're investing a lot of money, and many companies are investing a lot of money in these headsets. There has to be a way. I wish someone would invent. I hope the people who are investing money are at least in doing it a little bit, toward the Jeff Fisher plan of using it as a helmet so that the, you know, the space helmet,

motorcycle helmet, so that the glass comes down and then that's your virtual reality screen. So that you don't have to have one of those, I mean, I know having something stuck on your head is, you know, either way, strange. But these little masks that come around your eyes, I've got to tell you, I don't feel like those just looks too weird, feels too weird for you. So put the helmet on and make that. Make the helmet and the screen. So you have a bigger screen, bigger effect all around your entire.

You have that huge screen, the mask, the glass mask in front of you. I don't know. I think that would be much better. But that's just me. Hey, what do I know? Right. But they're working on that. And they're working on, they've got a new system out with the rest so you can be into the game.

but it's not up to par like they had talked yet. We had talked about it before, where they wanted to, where they have, wants you to have the full 360 interface, so you're inside the game or you're inside the movie. I'm waiting for that. I want that. That's what I want.

I want the most perfect thing ever. I don't want this new stuff that isn't quite up to par. Okay? Put money into it. Make it better. Because if you want to be in the game, if the game developers, you know they've got to be developing it so that you're inside the game, right? You want the experience of being inside the game. And the, I hate to bring this back to big guy stuff.

But if you want it to have, I don't know, an experience inside some sort of adult action going on, you want the 360 experience. right? Okay. You know most of you do. But now they have also the new glove, which remember we talked about a while ago where they're working on so that you have the mask on and you, the problem with people wearing the mask is that they're inside, you put the mask on and you put the mask on and you're inside virtual reality. That's where you're at. You're there. You're inside that. you can't get a drink without taking the mask off, right? Because you know your soda is there, so maybe you can feel, you know, if you stop yourself or you pause the game or whatever, you can stop yourself and maybe feel and get a drink, and then get right back into the game. Well, they've got the gloves now where they want you to experience what's inside the game. All right, so I hope that they, and they also were developing the gloves where you,

would wipe it in front of your face, and you'd be back to looking at whatever's in the room that you're in live. So you could look and you'd say, oh, there's my soda. You'd reach over and you'd get a drink. And then you'd wave it back, and you'd be back inside the game. Okay? Well, now they've got the gloves where they want you to feel the sensations of the virtual objects. Okay?

So you'll be able to, you wear gloves and you can feel rainfall, heat, other shapes, which is, I mean, that's kind of cool, right? If you're inside the game, you want to be able to feel and touch what you're seeing. You're inside the game and you're seeing, oh, hey, there's a gun, there's a rock, there's a flower, there's water, whatever. and you'd be able to feel it with these gloves. Hopefully they'll be able to interface with these gloves the wiping motion of, you'd also use, go back to live in the room that you're in, and then back inside the game. I'm all for that.

Really, if you have the helmet, the Jeff Fisher helmet, by the way, If you have the helmet with the glass, you, with inside those helmets, you've got microphones. I'm telling you the helmet is the way to go. Stop with the little bougie, little headsets and the thing tight on your eyes around your face. Stop it. Put the helmet on. Put the helmet on. You've got the microphone.

You've got the screens. You can see everything that's going on. And even if you have the gloves on, you can have the gloves on, you can have. outside the helmet is big enough to have outside command buttons or wipe in front of the screen you don't even have to wipe in front of the screen there could just be a place on the bottom lower screen just that little swipe goes back to live back right and you know that that's on screen command so if you wipe once you're back live and you wipe on the left side you're back to your your phone you see you see the information on your

smartphone, all the information who's calling, what's happening. Down in the left corner, if the red light is blinking, you've received a phone call. If the blue light is blinking, you have messages from your Twitter account, from your Facebook account, and you wipe with the left hand, and it takes you to that screen. And then you can verbally command where to go on the screen, because your helmet, glass, is your screen. Right? So you verbally command Twitter.

and up it pops scroll and it scrolls down and you can scroll and verbally command it I'm telling you I want to be a part of this because we need the helmet

you'd never take your helmet off when you talk about never taking the virtual reality mass off but if you put that helmet on you're not taking it off it's on forever the only time you take it off is when you want to be real

and be inside real life and not part of virtual life. And now we also talked about how they have the cameras, the crowd cameras. So if you're in a protest and you're on a street and there's thousands of people or whatever, they take the shot, they have the camera that takes a shot,

boom, resolution shot of the entire street. Now, well, then what they do is they put the shot into the computer with the program, and you can zero in. It's got such resolution that you come in and you can see, you go close enough to see the, faces and then if you're on social media say like Facebook and you have your little name that pops up you know when you see a picture on Facebook and they've inserted the name of you know

Jenny Smith well you can run your mouse over those faces in the crowd and it will pop up who they are due to whatever social media they're on right but well Jenny Smith was on the street Bill Johnson was on the street and you still even if their faces if the name doesn't pop up, those faces are so clear you're able to see who it is through facial recognition. Well, now they have the Wi-Fi signals. They're using the Wi-Fi signals as a way to count the people, the amount of people. Okay, and you don't have to even have to have, according to this story, you're not, you don't even need to have Wi-Fi-enabled devices on you.

Okay? So if you have no devices or you have shut off the Wi-Fi on the device that you have, it doesn't matter because what they've done is they've taken the signal of the Wi-Fi and it either counts the device that's looking for Wi-Fi or when you walk through the Wi-Fi, it has, I forget what they call it, I love what they call it. It's called multi-path fading. when you're not on the direct line of sight, so they're able to count the crowd through that.
