probably good for you, it is probably related to—it probably fits with nicely with other parts of your life but if you feel like you are playing because you have to out of a sense of compulsion, to

we've seen foldable phones and now it's time for rollerball phones, expandable phones, i'm not exactly sure what we're calling this format yet but it's the first time i got my hands on a real working of it. swipe on the power button and the screen goes from 6.7 inches to a 7.4 inch tablet. like a folding phone the point is to combine the convenience of a regular sized smartphone with a bigger screen of a tablet so if you are working or watching a movie you can switch to the bigger screen and oppo says they are experimenting with letting the motor stop at any point of the expansion so that the screen can adapt to fit any kind of video. i think i've done an elegantjob, you swipe up done an elegantjob, you swipe up on the power button and the phone opens up and swiped down on the power button to close it again. it is of little bit of motor noise which you can hear in a quiet room but i do not think it is too distracting and obviously i've tried squeezing the phone to force the motor and when you do that, the motor just kicks in and closes the phone. with flexible phone people always ask me if there is a crease on the screen and yes, on this phone there is on the display where it rolls inside the phone butjust like with the folding phones when the screen is on and you are using the device you do not notice the crease and the screen does not feel spongy or flexible to type on, it's solid behind there so it's just like typing on a regular phone. there are not only scratches on the display from the mechanism but then, it's a concept phone that i think has been kept very safe and it has not been out in the wild although oppo says it can open and close more than 100,000 times without breaking. because this is just a concept phone and is not going on sale some of the key questions of how this would affect artery life, cannot answer. other companies including lg and tcl have teased they are working on a similar rollerball phone to this, although oppo is the first company to get a working version in my hand. they say they developed this independently and have applied for lots of patents the technology inside it but are not going to sell it so i asked the

talked about the new ways we could be working together in the future. as we settle into 2021, we are going to be hearing a lot about augmented reality. facebook is set to lodge that smart glasses this year and they are working behind the company behind ray ban so they may be something you might even consider wearing. sorry, google glass. since 2015 it is microsoft who have been pushing forward with hollow lands across areas including design, engineering and medicine. and this is the latest reiteration of the device. 2019's hollow lands to, lighter, slicker upgrade and it allows users to experience what it calls mixed reality. what is that? it is similar to augmented reality except that instead ofjust overlaying virtual objects in front of you, you can actually interact with what you can see. and the assets are anchored in the real world but microsoft want to take things even further and at their ignite digital conference i'm about to hear about the new paper which they say will change how we collaborate virtually. —— platform. right, that's quite a few announcements and bite a bit to unpack. first up, the big announcement is around microsoft mesh, a new mixed reality platform that enables people to join and share the same experience wherever they are in the world. and it is not just for the hollow lands, it could be accessed through headset, the computer or even just your smart phone. and as you can see, there's a few things you can do while in space, such as customised your avatar, you can also import and manipulate 3d objects such as this hermit crab, which i will make tons bigger than it should be. alex commitment is a man behind the new innovation. in the end it was easier to speak to him like this.— to him like this. using mixed reality to _ to him

of passion around. i am from brazil and imagine but i wouldn't give to have my daughter experienced her cousins in brazil right through mixed reality and benefit from that ability to be socially present without being able to be in the same location physically. it is something i have been very excited about for a long time and to be honest i think it is a killer experience.— honest i think it

promise of a| truly collaborative platform is huge but, as always, it is all about the applications. as we speculate on what the future of the office will be, consultancy firm, essentia, have created a space for employees to hang out and share. avatars will move towards towards hollow plantation, a full realisation of yourself in the virtual space. until now, it has been get was workspaces and it is interesting to see other options are being explored. founded by cirque du soleil, this platform is studying how people may be able to attend concerts or even family events but it is the partnership with the creators of pokemon go that may grab the headlines. this was away hundreds of billions of people were introduced to ar as a concept. so what better way to show off? before we get carried away, this isjust way to show off? before we get carried away, this is just a proof of content. not going be wearing one of these anytime soon but this is a glimpse into the future and what is possible. that is more than enough to excite most people, including me. and if the impact online was immediate. what is noble here is notjust seen a kaman in al noble here is notjust seen a kaman in

significant difference between weekends — that word there, cold. a very different feel to things. spring in the air last weekend, 15 celsius in the sunshine. this weekend, with only a few sunny spells around, it's closer to 7 degrees. and it feels like winter's still got a bit of life left in it. but it is high pressure across us, so it is going to be mainly dry. just this one weak weather front will deliver a bit of rain into parts of scotland, especially the further north you are. there is milder air out in the atlantic. it will come our way in the week ahead, but that's not the only change coming, as i'll show you in a moment. this is how saturday begins, temperatures well below freezing. in the coldest parts, a widespread frost to start the day. some mist and fog patches around. there's the chance of catching a shower along the north sea coast, maybe around the thames estuary early on. they'll fade, showers come into the western isles, far north of mainland scotland, one or two into the northern isles. elsewhere, variable cloud, some sunny spells and temperatures only around that 7 celsius mark. on into saturday night, then, we'll keep a few areas of cloud but also some clear spells. the rain becoming a little bit more widespread across northern scotland, with some heavier bursts around here, keeping the temperature up, whereas elsewhere, if you're clear for any period of time, your temperature will drop below freezing and there will be another frost on sunday morning. still in scotland on sunday, towards the north and northwest, some outbreaks of rain. elsewhere, well, again, it's the sort of day where if you start sunny, you're likely to cloud over. if you start with cloud, you'll eventually see a few sunny spells. a little less cold in scotland and northern ireland. and then on monday, it is again scotland most likely to see a few outbreaks of rain, but the odd spot in parts of northern england and northern ireland can't be ruled out. to the south, after a frosty start, still a fair amount of cloud around, maybe a few early mist and fog patches. but significant weather changes on the way into midweek. goodbye, high pressure, hello, low pressure, and that does mean a change to, yes, slightly milder weather coming our way and some potentially disruptive wet and windy weather once more. welcome to bbc news, i'm james reynolds. our top
