aviation innovation. this week, lara looks at the elemental solution to cleaning up carbon emissions from aircraft. we travel to the remote faroe islands to look at the latest ways to harness tidal energy. it s sort of like kitesurfing, but on the water. if it moves, it s a controller paul s en route towards more accessible games. if ijust raise my eyebrows, i m making the carjump. and we look at how generative technology could revolutionise the moviegoing experience. it can make approximately 52 quintillion versions of the film. about 100,000 flights jet around the world every day. flying accounts for 2.5% of all carbon emissions. now, that might not sound like much, but if aviation was a country, it would be among the top ten most polluting nations in the world, and its impact is expected to rise. now, there s a global race to get clean aviation off the ground. and some companies think they re close to cracking it. pretty soon, passengers will be flying in zero emission a

It has its own engine internally to do the evaluation of how people can be seen to be moving, and it uses just the webcam.

You ready? so do the calibration again. safiya is using the eye gaze application to play different types of games using eye movements. you re a better driverthan i am. afterwards, i asked her what she thought. so what s it like, playing games this way with this new software? speaking software: it is good. it helps me to focus. and is it easy to use? yes, it is easy. it helps me experience every action of the game. and is it better than playing other ways you might have done before? yes. i ve only tried the nintendo wii. this new controller helps me play better. that s the young ones suitably impressed. over at ucl, the students working on different elements of motion input were keen for someone slightly less youthful to have a go and see how it works using bodypoint. first up, everyone s favourite
