Tomorrow Daily 068: An Arduino tricorder, a potential Myst TV show, and RomoCart racing
On today's show, we check out a cool tricorder prototype with actual working sensors, discuss the adaptation of '90s PC game Myst into a TV show, and show you a racing game that uses projection tech to generate courses out of tangible objects.
It's pretty exciting to know there are people out there actively trying to create tech from our favorite movies and TV shows, and Dr. Peter Jansen is one such person. He's been working on recreating the functionality of the "Star Trek" tricorder, and the Arducorder is his most recent prototype.
We're also talking about the Myst TV series reportedly in development; what '90s PC game would you want to see resurrected into a show?
