      @BoomBrush 7 років тому +180

      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).

      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.

    As someone who works in the field of architecture, it blows my mind to think that Tommy has no real experience of all the buildings that have enriched my life. It's cool that he got the Empire State Building on the first try... but imagine him with something like the Sydney Opera House! I just imagine it would be so thrilling to "see" such an iconic building as an adult like this. You'd think with the guy who sent them coming from Australia, maybe that would have been an obvious choice!

  • @SkyfishArt
    @SkyfishArt 7 років тому +81

    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 7 років тому +19

      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.

    • @natem1579
      @natem1579 8 місяців тому

      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.

    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!

      Also so they don't harm each other when packed into trucks, off to the slaughter house... and the human handlers...omg the horns are burned, cauterized off when the cows/cattle are babies. It must be so painful and confusing for a baby animal? One of the delights of farming I guess? Plus they get branded, dairy calfs - taken from their mothers, a day old, so WE can have the milk... most bulls get castrated, awake 😣 some get nose rings and are pulled along by those ☹ shit, they are artificially inseminated, ear tagged or a chunk chopped out (of their ear, the blood flicks all over their face for days) milked by an unfriendly machine, prodded with an electric cattle prod, beaten with hammers in foreign countries with no laws, to stand, for their throats cut! 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. Have a great day.

    @cplai 7 років тому +150

    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 6 років тому +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'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...

      He's been blind his entire life so he's not able to construct a 3D model or any kind of image in his head like a sighted person or person who went blind later in life. He's going based on tactile memory and context clues, like when he figured out the giraffe because he recognized that it was an animal and then remembered being told that giraffes have long necks

    When you are feeling the objects, how do you visualize them? Since you've been blind since birth, I wonder how you "see" things in your head.

      Christoffer Johansson But how he understand for example the Empire State Building? He never touch it entirely (I suppose), and so what memory he use? He never see it, he just can't touch it (and doesn't make sense to smell or hear it). So what kind of memory he use to understand that? Maybe he was trained when he was young? I don't get it
