This is a story about walking the dog even if you dont really like dogs. The now famous frame of spot the dog, built by Robot Specialists Boston Dynamics. These youtube videos released by the company have been entertaining us for the past four or five years as the past four or five years as the group have developed increasingly complex and animal like movements. Its now possible, believe it or not, to take spot for a walk from your own home. All you need is one of these, and that is what i am going to do right now. So i can see spots Point Of View and cody who is filming us, i dont know why i am waving, she cannot see, if i waggle these sticks i can actually. Laughs and straight towards cody and immediately she picks the come up because she thinks i will walk into her. 0k. Up because she thinks i will walk into her. Ok. In theory, this is as easy as controlling any kind of in game character. Just with more serious consequences if i put it in the sea or something. The lag is nowhere near as bad as i thought it was going to be. 0ver there is the Golden Gate Bridge look at that oh, come on he gets through the gate 5000 miles away we have a person so i can move up and then i can kind of go into pose mode and play with him. I can wake my tail. Laughs. I can do a downward dog and an upward dog. Hello. And this thing does have Collision Detection on it so if i accidentally put it into a bench or a wall, the robot should stop beforehand. So up until now, spot has attracted the attention of the military and the police, they are controversially looking at using robotics in combat. And in law enforcement. But now, Boston Dynamics has put spot up for sale to companies and developers. The idea is that by one and programme it to do whatever they want but the question is what they want . Lets talk spots real over geoff. Owner. What i peoples reactions to spot usually, they all have their phones out, look at that, is this a normal reaction . It is, it is actually pretty binary, dogs love it or hated and are fascinated by it and bring their phones out on they completely ignore it and go on with their lives, it is one of the other. This dog here has cocked its ears. Im going to try wagging my tail. Spot is on sale for about 75,000, about £55,000 in the uk, is my first question is who is going to buy it and what for . For inspections, it and what for . For inspections, if it and what for . For inspections, if you i it and what for . For inspections, if you need to it and what for . Fr . Inspections, if you need to go look at engage in a remote area, maybe it is on an oil or area, maybe it is on an oil or a piece of infrastructure that is hard to access, security is an application but spot as a general purpose mobility platform, it is the one robot that can kind of get anywhere so what you want to do with it and what you want to put on it is really up to the end user and people coming up with all sort of things. Sort of things. One company that is already sort of things. One company that is already taking sort of things. One company that is already taking the sort of things. One company.

You know, we have people on the shoreline taking samples of water to be sent for analysis and while were doing that, if there is the fear that we need to be Water Sampling in the first place than it is possible that even being in the area could be dangerous for those people.

Touted as one potential solution. � ,. ,. , solution. But they are not without controversy. Solution. But they are not| without controversy. Many solution. But they are not without controversy. Many have called them discriminatory and some have even suggested that they might pave the way for government mandated id cards. So Doctor Stephanie hare has been finding out more for us. Todayis been finding out more for us. Today is the first day in the United Kingdom that we can all go to the pub. Still outdoor seating only but its a major milestone on the way tojune 21 when the government hopes to lift all restrictions. But the Path To Freedom is full of risk. Cheers. As we open up the country, we could see a rise in the number of covid i9 cases. But borisjohnson thinks he may have a key to unlock the country. Vaccine passports. This would come as an app on your smartphone or a piece of paper. Either one would show our Covid I9 Status, whether we have had a vaccination or a negative test result or immunity from having recovered from the virus. Across the world, countries such as israel, denmark and china have ruled out Vaccine Passports with france, germany and spain also trialling different systems. But by linking our health data to our identity, Vaccine Passports would be if usually a national id card. Four months the government has been denying that it had any plans to build Vaccine Passports all along, it was funding eight Pilot Schemes to dojust that funding eight Pilot Schemes to do just that for months. Some of these take the idea of a National Identity card to a whole new level biometrics. Biometric Technology Turns a body into data. It could be our dna, fingerprint, face, voice, or even the unique structure of our veins inside our bodies. 0ne our veins inside our bodies.

Biometric technologies are using infrared light. Biometric technologies are highly technologies are highly controversial. Some say they are a gateway to big brother style mass surveillance. So given that this is so problematic, why is the government even considering this . Especially since it has not answered the main questions. Would Vaccine Passports help to stop the spread of the virus . I think the covid19 spread of the virus . I think the covid19 status spread of the virus . I think. The covid19 status edification the Covid I9 Status edification system will be rolled out for international travel. Where i think there are Big Questions is using it for Everyday Community life. If you extrapolate from how people are seeing the Vaccination Rollout itself to help people will be seeing the use of these passports, you can see that people are likely to probably be sat closer to each other, maybe not use face mask so much, not pay so much attention to washing their hands, and the likelihood is that Transmission Will Go Up. Likelihood is that Transmission Will Go Up will go up. Still, can it do any harm will go up. Still, can it do any harm to will go up. Still, can it do any harm to introduce. Will go up. Still, can it do any harm to introduce Vaccine Passports, especially after everyone has had a vaccine . Maybe we need to be thinking about flu vaccines and other health interventions.

Cloud gaming has been called the future of gaming. Instead of running them on a high end pc or console games have been run from a data centre miles away then streamed through your foam or a tv, a bit like a movie phone. We have been looking at what the future may hold. The last few weeks of inputting two Cloud Gaming Services to the test to see where we are at and whether cloud gaming could replace the pc or console. Before a get into some comparisons, here is a look at the services they have been testing, because as you can see they are all very different in scope. Playstation now has been around the longest and has a netflix style you can but they of games. For a month you can stream games to your peers for four Games Console or a windows pc, would sony say it is the only way to Access Playstation exclusive games without a playstation. Xbox cloud gaming is currently in beta. It is another all you can eat buffet with hundreds of games for 10. 99 a month. At the moment if you play on an xbox or windows pc you have to download the games as usual. Now you can see games as usual. Now you can see more games as usual. Now you can see more than 100 of them to an android smartphone or tablet. Android smartphone or tablet. An invidious g force now is a different proposition. There is no Inclusive Library of games. Instead you can stream pc games you bought elsewhere on stores such as steam and epic games. It is aimed at pc gamers who might not have the latest graphic Graphics Card or who might want to play somewhere else like on a phone. Then there is stadium on google. 0f there is stadium on google. Of all the services this is the close to mimicking a full console experience without the console. It has its own store where you can buy individual games for a one off fee and then stream them to your phone, tv, laptop, and more, forfree. For a. 99 a month pro subscribers can stream Ultrahigh Definition and claim some free games every month. So as you can see, already we have as you can see, already we have a huge range of different Business Models and a variety of supported devices and places to play. First things first, does this actually work . When you are gaining any delay between pressing a button and seeing the action on screen as unacceptable. Surely putting your computer miles away in the cloud as some latency . Well, yes, it does, but honestly not enough that i could busy. Nvidia was the only company willing to put a price on it for me. It says it adds about 20 ms of latency. That might be important for competitive programmers, but it is not really perceptible for casual play. Everyones experience will vary, they never noticed any latency on any of the four services. You can see the action on the screen as reacting as soon as they move my finger on the touchpad. All of them have recommended in turn that speeds to make sure everything runs smoothly and i was testing them on a 50 megabits connection at home a comfortable accommodate them. Lets look at some of the promised benefits of plant is top of the range graphics without expensive equipment. At the moment stadium is the only one offering 4k to pro subscribers and it looks crisp bull maubourguet de vita. You do sometimes notice Compression Artefacts in this picture, like this blocking is, this would not be there if it was being rendered locally. That is the kind of thing you see sometimes when you are watching movies, and it did not spoil my environments enjoyment of the game. G force now looks great on my tv as well. The two all you can eat view does mike read services, they maxell. It is fine for xbox which is focusing on android phones at the moment, he is now looked fine on my pc even though i was sat closer to the monitor. The graphics looked really sharp. And the rest were everything to go 4k there is more to graphics and resolution. Ithought go 4k there is more to graphics and resolution. I thought all four of these services looked great. G force now also get retracing unable to some games for more realistic lighting effects. Here is another game. Look at the reflections on the floor with it off and now on. Everything just shines a bit more. For comparison there is the same on stadia so you can see the difference. Honestly, both look great and live on the promise of high quality graphics without a top of the range pc. Another promise of cloud gaming is you can play anywhere, notjust at home. There are 70 combinations of ways you can play on these services i cannot put them into one video. Three of these Services Support mobile play so i tried it out on some phones. Lang overfor gs worry i tried it out on some phones. Lang over for gs worry had most of the issues with Picture Breakup and stuffing on all three services. Sometimes they wouldnt connect at all and its because my 4g connection speed was just too variable. Sometimes the connection was fine and it all worked well and at times the connection speed dropped and the games wouldnt load. Just like over wi fi, when these services work, they worked really well, but it really comes down to your connection. Obviously the most important thing is the games. If you are already a playstation or xbox game of the clouds of his account of a lot of value. There is a lotto play. And there are blockbuster games on all four services stop nicely, you have to dig around and see what catches your eye and, as is always the way, you probably wont find all your favourite games on just one service. So is this the future of gaming . Well, a playstation and xbox lean into this a bit more i can see a future where people between Different Services on a month to month basis, playing the games they like and there may be cancelling the subscription, like some people do with movie streaming services, although im not sure of that will be in sony or aggerss What Stadia Has showed me is that putting a full console style system into the cloud really can work as long as your intimate connection is good now. Chris fox there. Now, after a bit of a delay the oscars are finally here. The 93rd Academy Awards are due to take place on 25 april.

We did do facial capture. We had a camera| facial capture. We had a camera on the guy that played ivan throughout the virtual process. But we didnt use it. It was, as with any kind of capture like that theres a hell of a of data. Depending on what it is is a sometimes quicker and easier and more creative, you get better results by hand doing it. In terms of bringing that to screen, that performance to screen, how we do it is a hell of a lot of reference gathering. Lots of dogs, lots of gorillas to kind of tap into what makes an animal and of tap into what makes an animaland animaland of tap into what makes an animal and animal and knowing its nuances, knowing its quirks and its ear flicks and is little idiosyncrasies that we do. ,. , little idiosyncrasies that we do. ,. ,. , little idiosyncrasies that we do. ,. ,. ,. , do. This was a movie that the animals had do. This was a movie that the animals had to do. This was a movie that the animals had to be do. This was a movie that the animals had to be completely photorealistic. And at the same time photorealistic. And at the same time are photorealistic. And at the same time are we pushing it far enough. Time are we pushing it far enough, is there enough pathos, humour, enough, is there enough pathos, humour, or enough, is there enough pathos, humour, or sadness in those expressions, should we push it a little expressions, should we push it a little bit expressions, should we push it a little bit more or have we pushed it a little bit more or have we pushed it too far and were sort pushed it too far and were sort of pushed it too far and were sort of slipping into uncanny vatley sort of slipping into Uncanny Valley where you start to go no, valley where you start to go no, that valley where you start to go no, that is not a real animal, they no, that is not a real animal, they dont no, that is not a real animal, they dont do that, they wouldnt do that. So thats a very wouldnt do that. So thats a very difficult balance. And that very difficult balance. And that was something we fought with on that was something we fought with on every shot. It was a discussion with on every shot. It was a discussion that went from the Heads Discussion that went from the heads of discussion that went from the heads of the studio all the way down, heads of the studio all the way down, you know, through the movie movie. So we captured scene by scene so movie. So we captured scene by scene so we movie. So we captured scene by scene. So we captured scene. So we captured what we called a master scene from beginning to end. The Animators Backin beginning to end. The animators back in and pc would then take the chess pieces we captured for bob and ruby and stella and all the other animals and animate them, animate them the whole master seen, you know, from beginning to end, without any kind of camera. We had inside any kind of camera at that stage. It was all just as a thing would play out. So by the end of that process we had everything we were going to shoot virtually playing out as a master seen. Shoot virtually playing out as a master seen. That would then no on to a master seen. That would then go on to our a master seen. That would then go on to our virtual a master seen. That would then go on to our virtual stage. A master seen. That would then go on to our virtual stage. Now| go on to our virtual stage. Now were go on to our virtual stage. Now were into go on to our virtual stage. Now were into the virtual stage we could were into the virtual stage we could go were into the virtual stage we could go into the scene. First of all could go into the scene. First of all we could go into the scene. First of all we would do it in vr. We would of all we would do it in vr. We would put of all we would do it in vr. We would put the hazards on. You can go would put the hazards on. You can go into would put the hazards on. You can go into the scene, look around for the master seen as playing around for the master seen as playing out. We could go into it with the dp and the director and say, it with the dp and the director and say, right, here is the theme, and say, right, here is the theme, how are we going to film this . Theme, how are we going to film this . Once theme, how are we going to film this . Once we looked at it in vr we this . Once we looked at it in vr we went on to the virtual stage vr we went on to the virtual stage and there we actually had a film stage and there we actually had a film crew and we were able to now literally film these virtual now literally film these virtual clips. And we could change virtual clips. And we could change lenses, they could pull focus, change lenses, they could pull focus, you know, there is nothing focus, you know, there is nothing there, but everything is up nothing there, but everything is up on nothing there, but everything is up on big screens. The reason is up on big screens. The reason that we did that as well was, reason that we did that as well was, you reason that we did that as well was, you know, it put the filming was, you know, it put the filming a bit back into the filmmakers hands. I filming a bit back into the filmmakers hands. I think it was said to filmmakers hands. I think it was said to us, filmmakers hands. I think it was said to us, at filmmakers hands. I think it was said to us, at one filmmakers hands. I think it| was said to us, at one point, when we showed her the first render of the scene with ivan rendered for the first time, it is like looking at a different character. All those things go into the mix and subtly change things as the movie evolves angus goes through its different processes. Probably a lot of people different processes. Probably a lot of people looking different processes. Probably a lot of people looking at different processes. Probably a lot of people looking at the lot of people looking at the movie lot of people looking at the movie may not realise is how much movie may not realise is how much of movie may not realise is how much of the backgrounds were not real, much of the backgrounds were not real, but were actually completely generated virtually. Any time that you are basically looking any time that you are basically looking at bob and ivan in the backstage area, stella and ruby. Backstage area, stella and ruby, that entire environment was virtual. It was completely computer generated. So we put a huge computer generated. So we put a huge amount of work into the intervat huge amount of work into the interval of the different textures anyway like behaved on them textures anyway like behaved on them we textures anyway like behaved on them.

And we will see you soon. Hello there. The dry theme is set to continue into this weekend. It will be another chilly start, sam frost around across england and wales and eastern scotland. A bit milder elsewhere where we have more of a breeze and there will be cloud for a while. For many it will be a sunny start. Any patchy mist and fog will sooner. We will see cloud bubbling up here and there but it will be a sunny day that it was on friday for the midlands and Eastern Parts of england. And temperatures may be a little bit higher as a result, making 13 or 14 or perhaps 15 degrees in one or two places. Heading into the second half of the weekend, not so much for us, think, to start sunday, but we have this Weather Front making further inroads into the uk. It now looks like we will have cloud, patchy manley light rain for Northern Ireland and only across the western side of scotland. Eastern side of scotland. Eastern side of scotland looks drier. Patchy cloud for wales in the south west and the sunshine and little hazy for Eastern Parts of england. Damages arising through the midlands, Eastern England 14, 15. Temperatures rising.
