Today's precious find is one of a kind. If you're a beer drinking, iphone using, rc car romping, social media guru-ian then you will love today's featured post/video. Watch the video below:
Who knew the iPhone 4S’s Siri could learn how to do so many useful things? Case in point: These guys have trained her to “pour them a beer.”
Calling their creation “Beeri,” the guys at Redpepper taught the iPhone 4S’s talkative virtual assistant to cross that digital divide between virtual reality and the real world, setting into motion a mix of technology that, while impressive, actually creates more work than it accomplishes.
First, the industrious inventors (Matt Reed, Ryan Dunlap, Danny McClain, Carl Schulz, and Greg Privett) taught Siri how to tweet (as we did last weekend). Next, they hooked up a radio-controlled truck to a Wi-Fi-enabled electronic device that watches a Twitter account (@beeribot), polling it every 10 seconds for tweets containing the word “pour.”
From there, you can see what happens — the enterprising inventors tell Siri to tweet a message (“Pour me a beer”), and the little truck springs into action, careening down its crazy collision course that results in a beer “pour” that’s more like spillage, semi-contained.
