car, buying a car or got app called ravin. so if you re returning a rental car, buying a car or got an insurance claim, it can do some of the work for you. let me show you how it works. you start your scan like this and then, where there is any damage there is some here on the door you zoom in and it should identify what the damage is. dent on left front door yep, it s got it. you can either approve it, edit it or delete it. if i keep moving around, i ll take a closer look at the tyres. you need to make sure that you have the whole car in shot. it also takes some photos so, when you ve finished, it ll send you some snapshots known as the beauty shots as well as a full report of any damage that s been found. and as i come around to this side, it tells me the job is done. simple. in amongst all of the screens and the cars and all the other weird stuff here at ces, there are plenty of home appliances too.

all right, now no. now, i ve gotjust one selected. there we go, right. this is fiddly. what is your expectation with in terms of how long it would take somebody to get together with this? am i doing terribly badly? no, it s a more complex app that we have. so now, i m looking in at a kind of mirror, except what s looking back at me unless my appearance has changed very dramatically in the last few minutes is a female face with green skin. and whatever i do with my face, she does. so if i go ahhh, she is doing that! if i squeeze my eyes shut, she does that too. i can wink at her, i can blink at her, she s got a much better instagram pout than i have, that is for sure. laughs. welcome back! thank you very much. you re welcome. thank you. it s a little more. it s smaller, this room, than it was.
