00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: It's time for Rich tomorrow, our tech segment, rich on

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: Tech every Saturday, eleven am to two pm right here

00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: on KFI. He's on KTLA, He's at the television station

4
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: every day. Instagram at rich on Tech website, Richontech dot tv.

5
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 2: Good morning, Rich, Good morning to you. Bill.

6
00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:24,320
Speaker 1: Oh, this is exciting. You tested a VR treadmill that

7
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,000
Speaker 1: lets you walk in any direction inside virtual worlds. So

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: let me get this right. I can sit on the

9
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,080
Speaker 1: couch and walk two miles in a virtual world. Man,

10
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,959
Speaker 1: that's my idea of exercise. It doesn't get back you.

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: You joke, but I'm not kidding. When I got out

12
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: of this thing, I was sweating. That's I'm not kidding.

13
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: And I was only in there for like five minutes.

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 2: So this is called the Omni one and this is

15
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 2: not you're not actually on your couch. This is a

16
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:57,720
Speaker 2: I just posted the video to my Instagram at rich

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: on Tech so you can see what talking about. But

18
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: it is a almost imagine where you have this like

19
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: fixed arm where it holds you back, but it's like

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: a three sixty area, so it's like almost like a concave.

21
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 2: It's really tough to explain, but it's like a concave base,

22
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: and you put on these shoes that slide around, so

23
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: you can literally move around in this concave base, but

24
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: you're being held in place by this arm, and that

25
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,880
Speaker 2: gives you the end. You have the VR headset on,

26
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: so it gives you the ability to walk any direction

27
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 2: you want. You can jump, you can run, you can slide.

28
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 2: I mean, it's really quite impressive. Took them ten years

29
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 2: and fifty million dollars to figure this out. It's a

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: it's a thing called the Omni one. And you know,

31
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: I walked through the streets of Paris. I used a

32
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: bow and arrow. Let's see what else I mean. I

33
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: walked around, I jumped. It was pretty impressive. Okay, yeah,

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: it's kind of fun.

35
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: Okay, two questions when you talk about this arm, is

36
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: that a physical arm that holds you back?

37
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: Yes, it's like and where does that?

38
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: Where does that connect you? Where does that connect?

39
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: So it connects in the kind of in the peripheral

40
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 2: of this three sixty arena you're in, so it spins

41
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 2: around the whole thing. So it's I guess it's tough

42
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: to like visualize, but yeah, because I can't get out

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: from the side. Yeah, I can't housing place in the middle.

44
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: Okay, So it's connected to the base and it comes

45
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 1: out and holds you back and then you're walking. Do

46
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:24,839
Speaker 1: I have that right?

47
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: Yes, twenty six hundred bucks for this. By the way,

48
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 2: how much twenty six hundred.

49
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was going to ask that one too. Is

50
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: U twenty six hundred dollars? So you're pretty good at

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: answering the next question, and that is your opinion? Is

52
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: this worth twenty six hundred dollars in your opinion?

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: Well, let's put it this way. I think that that

54
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: is a very exclusive group that's going to pay twenty

55
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: six hundred dollars for this experience. I think if it

56
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: was down under one thousand dollars, you'd probably see much

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 2: more adoption. If it was under five hundred, it would

58
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: be a nope for people that like VR, because it

59
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 2: really does. It opens up entirely new worlds and new

60
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 2: ways of experiencing them inside VR, and you can use

61
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: it as an exercise machine if you wanted to. Pelotons

62
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 2: are you know, fifteen hundred to twenty five hundred dollars.

63
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: So I get that aspect of it, but you know,

64
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: this is brand new technology. It's still relatively expensive for

65
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 2: the average person.

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 1: I would say, okay, So yeah, I asked you is

67
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: it worth it? And you just went to three minutes

68
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: saying no. Well, said, now, I understand it.

69
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 2: Depends on how unlimited your funds are.

70
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: Understood, Yeah, there are certain things that are pretty expensive.

71
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: Stuff Rich a word or two about Samsung smart watches

72
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: getting the ability to monitor blood pressure. Now I'm getting

73
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: an Apple smart watch. I bought it last night at

74
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: the T Mobile store and they didn't have it in stock,

75
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: so they're shipping it to me. I'll get it in

76
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: a day or two. And one of the reasons I'm

77
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: getting it is because of monitoring my blood pressure because

78
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: I have blood pressure medication. This doesn't seem like new stuff,

79
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: is it. What is Samsung doing that Apple is not?

80
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: Well, So, first off, the Apple Watch does not necessarily

81
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: monitor blood pressure in the same way. So what Samsung

82
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: is doing is actually more advanced than the Apple Watch.

83
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 2: And I'll explain it a minute. So Apple Watch they

84
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 2: introduce something called hypertension notifications, so it will just look

85
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: at your heart, look at you know, signals from your blood,

86
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: and it will give you an alert if it thinks

87
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 2: you're at risk of high blood pressure, so it doesn't

88
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: actually alert you say, hey, you have this. It's just saying, oh,

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 2: we think you might have something, and it's not in

90
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: real time. It's nothing like that. So it's very basic.

91
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: What Samsung is doing is quite different. They're actually rolling

92
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: out blood pressure monitoring for real, which lets you see

93
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 2: the systolic and diastolic readings right on your watch. So

94
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: the way they're doing this is you base calibrate the

95
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 2: watch with a cuff once a month, and then it

96
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 2: kind of knows what that reading looks like and can

97
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: figure out the rest of them based on AI and

98
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: other signals, I'm guessing. So it's kind of a big

99
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 2: deal that they're doing this, and it's one of those

100
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: things that you know, is it is actually more advanced

101
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: than what the Apple Watch is doing at this point.

102
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 1: Okay, so between the two, I'm my world is smartphone

103
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: and Apple and all of that business, because I'm just

104
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: one of those people. If you look at the two,

105
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 1: the Samsung versus the Apple, which one is does more

106
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: than the other one. That's that's what I'm looking for.

107
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 1: Why would I get a Samsung? For example? The blood

108
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 1: pressure that's actually a good reason yeah, why would I

109
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: get a Yeah, and the smart watch. One of the

110
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: things is since I fall over constantly, I'm always tripping

111
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: and falling on my head, the falling on your head

112
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 1: part of the watch is really important to me. Do

113
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: both of those have those?

114
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 2: Yes, most of the modern smart watches have them. Look all,

115
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: here's the deal with all the smart watches. Number one,

116
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: they are a companion to the respective phone. So most

117
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: of the smart watches out there only work with their

118
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 2: companion phone, like let's say Pixel with the pixel Watch

119
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 2: with the Pixels, the Samsung Watches with the Samsungs, and

120
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: of course the Apple Watch only works with the iPhone.

121
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: So that's the main thing is you don't even really

122
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 2: have a choice the features. I think, I would say

123
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: most of the features have parody across the board. You know,

124
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 2: if you want fall detection, you've got it. If you

125
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: want to track your runs, you've got it. Your heart

126
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: rate high, low heart rate notifications. One thing that the

127
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 2: pixel Watch has that the others do not is something

128
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: called loss of pulse detection. So that means if your

129
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 2: heart stops, this thing will actually call nine one one

130
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 2: for you. So that's an interesting one. I hope nobody

131
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 2: ever has to use that feature. But Bill, you know,

132
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 2: you're you're kind of locked in. Once you're in that ecosystem,

133
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: you don't really have a choice of smart watches. It's

134
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 2: basically whatever brand your phone is. How do they compare

135
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: in price? You know, I think the Apple watches are.

136
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 2: I think they're all pretty similar. You're talking two to

137
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 2: four hundred dollars. Typically. You know, they do go on

138
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: sale quite regularly, so I think that, you know, whenever

139
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 2: there's a big sale, the Apple Watch is a great

140
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:30,920
Speaker 2: deal typically. You know, here's the thing. Apple never discounts

141
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: anything that they make. If you go to the Apple store,

142
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 2: you're never going to get a discount. But if you

143
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 2: go to, like you said, a T Mobile store, at

144
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,640
Speaker 2: and T store of Verizon, Best Buy, Amazon, they will

145
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 2: discount Apple products during their sales.

146
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: All right, So you know, I did get somewhat of

147
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: a discount where and you know, I bundled something and

148
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: I got something. I mean, I didn't pay much attention

149
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: to it because I don't understand.

150
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: Most of it.

151
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: There is, well, Delta Airlines, which is a pretty good airline,

152
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: actually is planning to add Amazon's new satellite Internet to

153
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 1: its planes. Now I assume you can return that when

154
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: you fly and they'll give it give your money back.

155
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: That's a joke an way, and a bad one, I

156
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: might add. Explain what's going on.

157
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 2: With that, Well, we know Starlink is the big satellite

158
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: internet provider out there. It's rolling out on various airlines.

159
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 2: I've had it on two of my recent flights, and

160
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: I will tell you it is absolutely game changing. Like

161
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 2: when I fly to New York City to do work,

162
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: I lose an entire day of work because of emails

163
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: I can't respond to. It's very slow internet right now.

164
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 2: But when they get that Starlink on that flight, it's

165
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 2: going to be incredible, Like people will be able to

166
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: complete their workday on a flight east to west, west,

167
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: east whatever. Right now, it's been mostly Starlink, but Delta

168
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: is going with Amazon's Leo, which is their competitor starlink,

169
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 2: And this is not going to happen. It's gonna be

170
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 2: about twenty twenty eight before we see it. But this

171
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: is a big deal because it's the first airline to

172
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 2: choose Amazon's solution over starlink, and so we'll have to

173
00:09:11,040 --> 00:09:12,160
Speaker 2: see how that works out.

174
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: Now, does that mean Amazon is putting up its own

175
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 1: satellites the way Starlink does.

176
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely so they are. Amazon right now has

177
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: about two hundred satellites up in the air or they're

178
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 2: trying to. Starlink has about ten thousand, so they have

179
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: a ways to catch up. But you know, I saw

180
00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:31,520
Speaker 2: these things at CS well, I saw the plans at

181
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 2: STES and their plan is to you know, to cover

182
00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: the to cover the at least the US and potentially

183
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:40,200
Speaker 2: the world at some point with their satellites as well.

184
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, as much as leon Elon Musk is completely out

185
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: of his mind, crazy, what a visionary he was, not

186
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: only in terms of spacecraft and just said everything, I

187
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: mean everything he does other than be crazy and this

188
00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: one he changed the way satellite the way we do

189
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: you know, the way we call them, the way we

190
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: do data. It's incredible, it really is.

191
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: It truly is, and the way we think about this stuff.

192
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 2: There's actually a great map, satellite map dot space. You

193
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 2: can see all the different satellites that are orbiting above

194
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: the US, are above the world, and it is built.

195
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 2: It's quite crazy, like thankfully there's a lot of room

196
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 2: in outer space, but it's getting crowded up. There.

197
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: I will tell you wonder why they don't why they

198
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: don't we hit each other, you know, in these fender benders,

199
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: like when we do.

200
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 2: Each some of them, some of them have exploded like randomly,

201
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,440
Speaker 2: and you know, so there is space debris up there,

202
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 2: and I guess they burn I don't know, they must

203
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 2: burn up at some point on Rihonn. I'm not a

204
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 2: space expert, but to me, it's like I feel like

205
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,920
Speaker 2: if I was going up there, I'd be like navigating through,

206
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 2: you know, like Star Wars style, like through all these things.

207
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: You know.

208
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Rich, we'll catch you Saturday eleven to

209
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: two pm right here on KFI. You have a good one,

210
00:10:58,840 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 1: my friend.

211
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 2: Thanks Bill.

212
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why there's a delay there where you're supposed

213
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: to say thanks, my pleasure, and uh, you want to

214
00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: jump on that a little quicker.

215
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,319
Speaker 2: Okay, maybe it wasn't his pleasure. Maybe you know what,

216
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 2: that's possible considering what I was going to say. I

217
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:16,840
Speaker 2: didn't know if I was going to say thank you

218
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 2: or not.

219
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: Oh well you have to. It's one of those that's

220
00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,920
Speaker 1: been my pleasure, thank you. Oh okay, all.

221
00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 2: Right, I appreciate it.

222
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: You're welcome, all right,
