      Exactly why it's helpful. People who can't see what large structures or animals actually look like will likely be able to get a better grasp of the appearance of these things than if someone were to just describe it for them. Especially if you describe it while letting them feel it. It provides two senses of the shape.

      At the time, the only giraffe I could find was the one sitting down. Guess I didn't look hard enough. It was also the only model that required any sort of support material, and to be honest my printer isn't very good at doing support material. In the video where I make them (on my channel) I literally hold a screwdriver in the air in order for his head to print. That is why his chin looked weird (at least he had a chin).

  • @SkyfishArt
    @SkyfishArt Před 7 lety +77

    Hey, Tommy. I think the fact that 3d printed models tend to have very flat bottoms threw you off at the start quite a bit, especially with the giraffe. Since we can't 3D print overhangs (because the plastic comes out like a wet noodle or glue from a glue gun, it needs to lay on something) The giraffe's legs are actually cut off, even though it is laying down, a big part of the legs were simply missing. I also see that the resolution of these models are quite low, both in terms of the layers (lines) and that they have big geometrical surfaces, (polygons). A higher resolution model should be much easier for you to guess, I think, the fingers have very great sensitivity. Still I was impressed that you got them all so right so quick. But just keep in mind that things like the space shuttle do not really have that flat of a bottom, they are more curved with details there too, but the 3D prints only showed the top parts of the objects.

    • @BoomBrush
      @BoomBrush Před 7 lety +18

      I printed the models at 0.2mm per layer found over the internet. I think if I sent him some more objects to feel, I'll definitely take your advise and use support material to make the bottom not flat. I'll bump the sensitively to 0.01mm, but at that point there is very little difference in quality (for my printer, other printers its a different story) and increases print time but I'll see anyway. At the time, the lying down giraffe was the only one I could find that I thought my printer could do, the other ones required lots of support material. The one shown in the video required very little, actually I didn't use any instead I held a screw driver in the air to help it print.

Of course it would take him much more time to solve it but give him couple of weeks and a good teacher and with a little determination he could show us a movie in which he solves it in... I don't know... couple of minutes at least.

      Nah it's fair he didn't accept plane as an answer. He's right that you'd never call the Space Shuttle an airplane. It doesn't do what a plane does (more of a glider, can't fly by itself) and doesn't even really look like one besides being a tube with wings-some submarines fit the same criteria, for example.

Facing Mecca! beaten in their own country...for being 'stubborn' you know, not walking calmly to their horrific DEATHS! damn, plus our planet is cleared of vegetation/forests/jungles etc. to simply graze these animals for fking McDonald's burgers, very, very bad, cows fart out methane, which destroys our atmoshphere. ..and this is just a cow, it is worse for pigs, sheep and especially chickens...no wonder folks go vegan

      @@NannupTiger nope. Not even close i have been to many dairy farms as part of FFA. And it isnt like that. I cant say that for all farms or for meat houses but for dairys, cows enjoy getting milked. The dehorning process is very quick and the pain goes away quickly. Ear tagging doesn't flick blood due to limited amout of blood vessels and the farmer takes care to tag the cow in a specific spot as not to create complications and they disinfect it daily preventing infection. I have never seen a cow have ear notches athough different customs in different areas may vary. You generally see ear notches on pigs. Castration causes mild discomfort for a few minuetes but then they get over it and after weeks the process is complete and they dont even know. I agree that massive complexes where they raise chickens pigs and other meat animals are inhuman, but most farms arnt like that at all. I hope i could respectfully correct some misconceptions.

    I remember when I was a little kid my dad once told me a story of 4 wise elder men who were blind. They were having an argument about what an elephant looked like so they went to a zoo to feel one. The first one touched it's ears and say "wow the elephant is like a flat piece of paper!" the other one touch the nose (sorry I am from Venezuela, don't know how to call it :-P) and said "you're wrong, the elephant is more like a giant snake". The third one touched the legs and said " don't fool us, the elephant is like a big pillar, very strong and big" and the last one touched the teeth so he concluded that the elephant was not a living animal but more of a giant statue :-) then they asked a sighted wise elder who was closer to the truth and the wise man said "you are all right but you are all wrong at the same time" :-D it is a nice story to teach us value different point of views :-) thanks for sharing your experience with us :-) you are a really nice guy!

    I want Tommy to handle 3D printings of all the major landmarks. The things he's never been able to experience. Him guessing the empire state building was incredible to me. It means he has heard enough about it, and experienced enough things physically that he was able to make the connection. Fascinating and heartwarming.

  • @cplai
    @cplai Před 7 lety +151

    Does this touching experience fill in a lot of gaps in your "perception" of things in your surrounding? Seeing people can translate the scaling easily because the perspective effect of distant objects. e.g. a small model of a big object close by would look similar to the big object at a distance. So the visual experience of the scaling is quite different from a touching experience. We seeing people couldn't imagine how you map your touch to verbal descriptions of objects.

    • @timstroud7963
      @timstroud7963 Před 5 lety +4

      I suppose the easiest scaling factor to describe would be in walkimg distances or time for very large objects or body lengths for small ones e.g. hand knuckle forearm shoulder. Amd using something that is intrimsically more familiar. A blind person is much more aware of the distance from the couch to the bath room than you or i. You ask me id say about 10 feet they might respond 8 steps. Just like describing the opacity of glass can generally be described by feelings eg frosted glass or rippled glass would be more intuitive than tinted glass

    I find it absolutely astonishing that you're able to do this! Without the visual cues of seeing these, there's no way I'd be able to recall the right information about the structure to even form sensible guesses. You must have a great sense for extracting and retaining information about geometry from words alone, which is totally fascinating.
    here's a question - do you think using a tool like the tip of a pen would help you describe the little details smaller than the tip of your finger? Or is there more to be gained from the sense of directly touching it

    • @embrio.
      @embrio. Před 7 lety +1

      Amazingly, blind people actually do use the same parts of their brains-the visual cortex-to map 3D objects and space using information gathered by their other senses. So they can conceive of things just like sighted people, only their conceptions don't come with an accompanying visual picture. Almost impossible to even imagine as a sighted person!

  • @Roxfox
    @Roxfox Před 7 lety +6

    Super cool. I hope Tommy was given a chance to feel around and have the different parts explained to him in more detail! A concept like "wings" is so easy to take for granted with sight, but how could he ever know what they're like, or why look the way they do on the space shuttle compared to an airplane?
    I'd be able to roughhouse a guess at what type of aircraft any given set of wings belong to solely based on their shape, but that's because I have a decent understanding of aerodynamics, which I now realize comes entirely from visualizations of airflow around foils and watching how different vehicles behave in air and water... Thanks, sight.
