Going obsolete, or so it seems. Even the days of Desktop Computers are numbered. Right. Lets see what theyve got us this year. The Consumer Electronics show in las vegas is the place to find out. Its where the new products and concepts launch for 2018 and some of them mightjust launch for 2018 and some of them might just change the launch for 2018 and some of them mightjust change the world. One of the highlights for me is always finding out how ben dlg is. Previously, they have been slightly bandy and this year, i think they have nailed it. Its a 65 inch rollu p have nailed it. Its a 65 inch rollup display and the image quality is really very good. And it does role completely up in two admittedly fairly chunky box. Its an blue led display, the only display tech that can be fully flexible. The circuitry is built on a segmented back which is built on a segmented back which isa is built on a segmented back which is a bit like a retractable garage door. You can choose how far the screen rolls out as well as a widescreen tv which can be used as a thin notification bar. A wider format 21 ex nine cinema screen and of course nothing at all. The argument is that you can make use of the space behind it when youre not using it. And in south korea, a lot of people live in high rise blocks. Can you imagine lugging a tv like that up the stairs . Much easier if you can roll it down in a tube. Elsewhere, plenty of other things to see and play with here. Here is a telephone from vivo that does not have a fingerprint scanner on the backis have a fingerprint scanner on the back is because it has one built into the screen. The display shines light on to your bum and an optical scanner light on to your bum and an optical scanner registers what it sees. Here is the link below to let has dashed the link below 360. You can see it through first person view so others can feel like they were truly there as well. Though its important to catch the eye at shows like these which is what this thing is doing. This is the hyper vision display and is capable of projecting life size images high above the show floor. All right, sexy, thats enough from you. There is the science bit. We have 2a rapidly spinning led strips. It gives you the illusion of a persistent image. In the flesh, i have to say, does really rather good. 0h, have to say, does really rather good. Oh, good grief. Anotherflimsy fli mfla m good. Oh, good grief. Anotherflimsy flimflam from me. Lets get lara with some of the big announcement from the show. And what a week it has been with news from taks biggest players. Including the likes of intel saying it will release softwa re of intel saying it will release Software Fixes to repair Security Issues surrounding its chips. Weve had press events that have gone wrong with disobedient robots from lg. Col is not going to talk to me, she doesnt like me evidently. And sonys robot dog wasnt that response of either. He is an autonomous robot and will quickly become a member of your family. Right . He ignored me. Meanwhile, a lack of female keynote speakers has caused controversy amongst attendees. A situation which is less which is meant to raise eyebrows compounded by the included in robotic pole dancers at a strip club near the event. And on the floor, as usual, tvs were everywhere but this one really stood out. The same sum wall is 140 inches wide and can be made larger by adding modules. And finally, toyota has unveiled its new board economist palette vehicle, to be used ridesharing, deliveries or even a moving storefront which comes directly to you. That was lara. Now what are the big things at the moment is wireless charging. That normally means putting your phone on a pad that is also is possible to send power through the air. 0ne a pad that is also is possible to send power through the air. One of the problems with wireless power is the problems with wireless power is the power is sent in every direction at the same time so wherever your device is, it only receives a tiny fraction of that power. Well, here isa fraction of that power. Well, here is a system that gets around that by sending focused beams of power to one particular point. The power transmitter can be built into ceiling tiles, walls, tables or parts of the furniture. All it needs to know is which direction to point the power ridden. Here is the science bit. To work that out, the device needing the power sends out low power signals in all directions, most of which are blocked by nearby objects. But the signals that do bounce around come from to give tangles. By sending the power back at exactly the same angles, that power bounces about and eventually gets back to the device. The makers to bash the makers told us they can achieve two watts of power from a distance of one metre which is about half the power of the smartphone charger. Im using this light to detect the power beams from the transmitter and the blackbox transceiver. Think about carrying out remotely. He never had to charge the battery again. But with high power beams bouncing around your home, you have to wonder if it is safe. We look to get fcc approval for safety. If you have accepted wi fi into your home, excepting this technology would be the same. In the future, the power receivers could be made into any shape including that ofa made into any shape including that of a double a battery and that means ordinary devices could be converted to wireless power without any modification at all. For a long time, bricks and mortar shops have been trying to keep up with on line retailers that the added benefits of keeping track with customer habits as well is providing very easy ways of paying. Here is one way that we could see some of those features brought into the real world by retrofitting existing stores. I poly uses off the shelf cameras, one appeared to track customers and one to ta ke appeared to track customers and one to take a look at the products and the customers interactions but the real work is happening here in the ai algorithms were it is advising all the products off the shelf and their customers interactions with them. At the ai is using the main cannon camera. It can recognise faces, identify close and follow their movements. Through the combination of the customers being recognised, when they get to the checkout, they dont even need to scan the items. Theyjust need to pgy scan the items. Theyjust need to pay. And if they agree to be remembered, and all they need to do is go and pick up their products and ta ke is go and pick up their products and take them away. One thing which isnt making such a big noise this week is virtual reality. Is the our in its last chance . Billions have been poured into br but the headsets are not selling the Way Companies had hoped. There are multiple problems. The set up is too difficult. The content is not compelling enough. And a must is treated very carefully, the Vr Experience can and has made me feel sick. The manufacturers are not going to give up on this. The oculus going to give up on this. The oculus go will be launched around march. Thats like samsungs vr but you dont need a phone for it to work, it is all built in and around 200. Htc announced they are to release the five pro later this year, at three k headset which will improve resolution significantly and keep the vive ahead of the curb. While oculus allows three degrees of movement which is that way, that way and that way, htc has Just Launched its vive focus in china which allows six degrees which is that, bad and that. And also three dimensions of movement in space. And that is using inside out tracking which means there are no sensors or lighthouses telling you whether headset is. The headset itself works out where it is in the environment. This is the next level four br. Still, with magic lea p level four br. Still, with magic leap releasing its augmented reality with tons of activity like this, a cheap flat wake a cheap flat pack way of building your own headset, br continues to face a tough battle with a r which just seems a bit more ready to make its mark, if you ask me. Ifeel ready to make its mark, if you ask me. I feel better than that. Anyway, time to move on. Here comes lara with some hi tech ways to stop thieves. At this yous show, few antitheft devices have been launched. And this is a prototype burglar prevention system. It aims to replicate what a burglar sounds like in your home sea can preset it with the way you live your life, whether you are watching a film, talking in the kitchen and when the lights are going to be going on and off. 0r lights are going to be going on and off. Or you could simply. Have you got a permit to those guns . Eventually, the plan would be that a group of synchronised devices could work through the house to make it look like Natural Movement from room to room. Of course, that would add to room. Of course, that would add to the cost. And this is a smart safe. Now i had to admit, when i received it, i did think, this is very light, very flimsy and how could it possibly be a safe because you could just steal this. But it seems that technology here could be used in bigger, stronger states and this particular model is possibly better for putting medicine this particular model is possibly betterfor putting medicine in or something you want to keep away from the kids or other people visiting your house. So how it works. It connects via smartphone at which means you can 0atley open the safe should you wish to do that. And you will also relieve receive alerts if anybody tries to tamper with it. Lets set it up somewhere where it can remain in the steady place. This particular model has wings which extend into place. Let me put something in here. Let me timetable with it and see what happens. It is quite firmly attached. With a little bit more foresight could probably pull it out. Yep, there we go. Oh, it looks like it could be quite easy to open as well. Any ideas . 0h, quite easy to open as well. Any ideas . Oh, dear. Let me try and find something that might be a bit better for security. Its notjust about the home, though, this bag and is to keep your belongings safe when you are and about. Do if you are on a train or plane and you have to leave your bag some where else you might wa nt to your bag some where else you might want to activate this tamper alert which uses this id card to turn it on and off. So if anybody tries to open your bag. It sounds like that but if the issue is actually you forgetting, then this prevention device aims to conquer the rescue. You can attach it any given item and the Company Software will learn your habits. So what time and where you ta ke habits. So what time and where you take that item and if you do something that seems out of the ordinary they can send your mind up before youve even had a chance to forget it. Eventually they are even hoping to be able to do things like access travel details through your e mail, so you can get a reminder to pick up your passport without running the risk of leaving without it. The device does still seem a little bit big right now but they are trying to get a smaller version ready ahead of the launch. Great if it works, which was generally be seen with most of what i tested. Generally the theme. That was lara. This is a passenger drone made by a German Company and this one actually has flown. I am constantly reminded that the future of transport will be amazingly here at ces, although there is no guarantee that that is true. Case in point. Remember the electric car, the Faraday Future . Well, thats show business. Now, this is a start up started by some impressive people who came up with basically a computer on wheels. Will this car actually work . Dave lee was given exclusive access to it before and during. Ill be honest, this wasnt the most thrilling test drive of my life. Worried about being spotted before their big ces unveiling, i was only a large test drive the car slowly around their unmarked warehouse. But it was very interesting. The company has created what is essentially a mobile supercomputer. They say it has more in common with your smartphone than it does the typical car and i agree. For the first time ive been impressed by a car and not because of its performance on the road but because of its operating system. The vision behind it is we want to be the Company Bringing into the market the Company Bringing into the market the first real smart car. The vehicle has been designed and created by a suitably qualified team, made up of former bmw and apple enginners. Inside you will see the dashboard has been completely reimagined. The gesture control system reimagined. The gesture control syste m d oes reimagined. The gesture control system does look a bit imprecise and quite fiddly not ideal when you are driving on a motorway at 70 mph. This looks like a really distracting driving situation. Isnt this actually quite dangerous . So the key is about customisation. When you worry and drive mode, we will actually disable certain features. You wont be able to get into watch videos, for instance. We want to build a platform where when there is someone driving all occupants in the car, including the driver, have the ability to interact. Some of the most exciting features will be disabled until we live in a world of fully autonomous driving. So perhaps think of this vehicle as bridging the gap between our dumb driving past. And our smart driving future. Of course you cant reveal a car at ces without an expensive, lavish launch event. This one went by without a hitch and people seemed impressed. Its really interesting idea but they are trying to target it at as an affordable price point, 40,000. It at as an affordable price point, 40,000. Target it out. And they are adding all of this cool technology, so i think it got a pretty good message. If you think all this seems a little familiar you are right. This was the scene at last yea rs are right. This was the scene at last years ces, when i covered a new car company, Faraday Future. Back then they said everything was going swimmingly and their big factory would be built soon. But in less tha n factory would be built soon. But in less than a year the factory in nevada has been scrapped and while the company insists it is still pressing ahead, Faraday Future is in serious danger of becoming a thing of the past. So what will happen to biton . The biggest challenge facing them right now is to do with charging. Kessler has more than 8000 superchargers for their cars dotted all over the world and biton has none. When it comes to making the car, they are building bears in nanjing, china, and they promised their car will be put into production by the end of 2019 and one day cost 45,000. We will have to see how that goes. There will be plenty more transport on next weeks nick macro. In the meantime i am having my nails done. This is the 02 nails printer. Choose any image and they will print it on to your nail. 0f any image and they will print it on to your nail. Of course i chose a picture of myself. 0k, Richard Taylor, beat that refreshing they are creating a vacuum in my mouth and sucking at my gums and at the same time circulating water around my teeth. It is intended for users with reduced mobility or people who have difficulty brushing their teeth. It replaces the need to brush and floss. The guys are working on integrating centres in the future devices so that oral hygienist or dentists will be able to diagnose and treat forgone disease. Its quite tickly as well. This is being marketed as the worlds first smart baby feeding monitor. You put your baby bottle, any baby bottle, into the device, it has a Temperature Sensor to make sure the milk is the right temperature, it has a motion sensor which flushes read if you are holding the bottle at a particular angle flashes red. And it is wi fi enabled. If there is a nanny feeding at home and the mummies at work, the results of the feeding are uploaded to the smartphone at work so mum can tell exactly how much the baby has drunk. What you are seeing here is a magical chessboard. It allows players to play with each other regardless of where they are in the world. Right now someone is playing by their phone and an electric armies dragging the different pieces to the rights. Pretty cool ces can really take it out of you andi ces can really take it out of you and ifor one am ces can really take it out of you and i for one am already pretty sleep deprived. What i have here is a device that is packed with all sorts of technology and the claim is it will provide within 20 minutes the equivalent of 2 5 hours sleep. There will be a leap is put behind might use effectively through this device that are transmitting signals up device that are transmitting signals up to device that are transmitting signals my device that are transmitting signals up to my brain. Im going to try this on and ill see you in 20 minutes. Ill tell you what, he has the right idea. Walking around here is absolutely exhausting. Im definitely feeling more relaxed than i was like 26 minutes ago. Of course i dont know how relaxed would have felt with just a 26 minute power nap, but im ready to rock n roll. Vegas. Home to world class rock n roll. Vegas. Home to world class talent, and singing superstars. And then theres Richard Taylor and me. This karaoke box uses a professional altering technology on your voice. Next stop, cesars. Its not just me on your voice. Next stop, cesars. Its notjust me on eliminating the strip this week, intel has put on a light show of its own using led drawings, obviously. Flying above the famous the large your fountains, the famous the large your fountains, the Unmanned Aircraft down is in sync with the water jets the Unmanned Aircraft down is in sync with the waterjets and music. We caught up with the boss behind this madness on the eve of the performance. There are few challenges with this space. Its a very tight space. We were only. We are me about the fly to a certain height. If the drawings were to ever go out the motor is dropped and the drone falls into the water. The drones. Well, that was a pretty spectacular way to end the show, dont you agree . Dont forget we live at bbc click on twitter. I hope you enjoyed the show and see you soon. Hello there. For many of us, the weather has not changed a great deal over the last couple of days. Look at the satellite picture from thursday and i will show you what i mean. A largely cloudy day across many areas of the british isles. Heres a satellite picture from yesterday again showing extensive cloud cover. Well leave the satellite picture behind for a moment. Todays headline, can you guess what itll be . Yes, another cloudy day. But the weather is not that straightforward. A weather front in the west is bringing outbreaks of rain for some of us. Theres at least one change. Now, the weather will be fairly slow moving again on saturday because this weather front is coming in off the atlantic and is running into this massive area of high pressure, thats influencing the weather across much of northern and central europe, so the front will not make much progress against that massive blocking area of high pressure. It means where we start off with outbreaks of rain in Western Areas, that rain band will probably be in the same kind of errors right way through the day. But further across central and Eastern England and central and eastern scotland, for the vast majority of us for much of the day its going to be drive extensively cloudy, but a bit of breeze around. A few gaps in the cloud to allow some brighter moments. There is the forecast through saturday night. This weather front in the west will fizzle overnight with a bit of rain going in across north west england, into central and eastern areas of scotland. The winds fall light across england. We could get some mist and fog patches, with maybe the cloud thickening up a bit to allow drizzle on sunday. But for sunday, another cloudy one for most of us. A change coming into the north west. We will see another atlantic fronts moving in. This one bringing some heavy rain and fairly strong winds with it, but this one will be a big player to finally break our spell of cloudy weather. This is what happens. Sunday night and on into monday, the front swings its way southwards and eastwards across the british isles. Behind this cold front, the air gets colder. Starting to come in with a more north westerly direction and the skies will brighten up. Down go the temperatures. Through monday afternoon, highs of four or five celsius for northern and Western Areas of the british isles, cold enough for snow in the hills of scotland. Colder air on the way for next week, which means more in the way of sunshine. It means the weather will be getting colder and at times it could turn very windy, but it also means there is the risk of some snow next week, particularly in the north down to low levels, but the hills further south could also see some snow at times.
