the whole room has been fully calibrated so the sensors can detect where everyone in the installation is really, really accurately. the artwork, the project, the projections, are calculated live. this is not prerecorded video. the pictures really do react to whatever you do while you're in the room. so, for example, i can... kill a butterfly. don't show this at home, kids. this room is called flowers bloom on people. with no—one in here, it's just a black room but if you sit around for a few minute, you'll find that nature starts to grow on you. now i would say this is pretty cutting—edge projector technology but marc cieslak has assured me he can give this a run for his money. go on then, marc.

this is a home entertainment concept from razor, a company most famous for manufacturing gaming pcs, covering more lights than blackpool illuminations. the concept makes use of coloured lights and projected image, working together in synchronised harmony. what we have here is a concept lighting rig, which is key to the action on—screen. so the lights in this room will change colour depending on what's happening, but it's only part of what's going on. so if ijust hit this button here, we get the largest screen i've ever seen. and that giant screen size is thanks to a pretty expensive forke projector. expensive 4k projector. the projector is fitted with a 155— degree fish eye lens, combined with two depth sensing

cameras that scans the rooms for objects and furniture, and the system adjusts the image to prevent it from becoming distorting. so the idea is that by having a screen that envelopes the peripheral vision of the viewer, you really feel like you're thrown inside the action, and it is surprisingly effective. at the moment, this system remains a concept but razor has hinted it might one day bring it to market. oh, i can see lions and stuff playing. i've been discovering some of the the latest ways that the technology is being used to help the visually impaired. it all starts with a spot of virtual reality. 0k. if you can try it this way. you pull it over your eyes.

itjust made me so, it was happiness but it made me cry and ijust couldn't believe that... i'd been without full sight for so many years and then all of a sudden i could see things that i hadn't seen for 30 years. here at the beacon centre, a charity supporting those with sight loss, an interesting trial is taking place. i'm going to start the video... it seems some people can see things in vr they could never see in the real world or on a screen. i've lost paul mccartney, though. you've lost paul? yes. oh, no, he's there now! i'd never expected it but when they put the head set on, i mean there was giraffes, coming up and looking at me! what would you say to other people with a similar level of vision

to you about the experience of being able to do this and the emotional side of it? oh, if you've got the chance, you have to have a go. there is nothing quite like it. i mean i know it's not full sight, because you've got to wear a machine, i'm not saying, that but to give you the experience, it's just absolutely wonderful. there are a wide range of conditions that cause sight loss. the nature of which can vary hugely, and even for those with similar problems, the benefits of the vr have varied. by along with the university of wolverhampton, experts are trying to understand how this is possible at all. what we found quite quickly is that people who had central loss, macular type conditions, as they are called, are the ones who seem to get most benefit. where they still had peripheral vision and whether that peripheral vision is so stimulated as to fill in the gaps, or, whatever we

don't understand yet, is it because it's so close? is it because there are still sight receptive cells in the centre of the vision, so that when they're stimulated enough, that they will fire and therefore create the vision? is it the curvature of the lens? there's a whole host of things we're still trying to explore to understand how it works. if i could use that when my daughter's doing her school plays or she's singing in the choir, i could never pick out who she was or what she was doing, or be able to see what you are seeing, and that could really be quite life changing. but, however clear the virtual world may seem, finding ways to ease day—to—day tasks is a real priority. diversion to the left. temporary footway in road. five to 10 metres. there are eye beacons built in here that connect this to the mobile app, so if somebody is approaching and they have the app installed in their phone,

they will receive an alert to let them know about the roadworks and how best to approach them. and for someone like louise with two young kids, this smart street furniture could make all the difference. because it tells you which way to go, so it can still in my pocket i can have their hands, one in each, and i can hear the voiceover, so it will say something like the pedestrian crossing is coming on the left. it's there for three days or however long. so if i do the school run the same day, i know exactly where it's going to be, i have done that walk yesterday. also this week, big claims from a company that say their smart glasses can give the legally blind 20/20 vision. as well as being able to stream content, they've captured the user's surroundings, converting them into a form, they say, is easier to identify for those with limited vision. sadly we couldn't put a pair to the test just yet, and it's early days for much of what is being trialled

here but the possibilities are certainly looking good. that was lara. now, virtual reality has been grabbing all the headlines in recent years but don't forget augmented reality. now this is the idea of projecting computer generated images on top of the real world. a bit like this, but in a pair of glasses. well a small band of augmented reality pioneers have been really pushing the technology. here's marc again with some pretty classy eyewear. these augmented reality glasses are basically a wearable computer. for the last couple of years, augmented reality specs have been used primarily in an industrial setting or in the workplace. these have been competed by a company called 006, and they've been designed far more with the consumer in mind. they feel a lot closer

to normal glasses, so to get the best out of them, i want to move around. so, i stand up, at the moment, there's a 360—degree video playing. if i look around, i get a different viewpoint here. i see a robot in front of me and what looks like some kind of futuristic hospital, and there's a guy over here, who seems very unhappy and another guy who looks seems to be shooting at him. the images move seemlessly with my head. if i look around i can see planet earth in front of me. but this is the cool bit, it moves. i can walk inside it and see from outside of the planet, and appreciate it from this angle, and if i stand here, yep, a space station that's orbiting the earth as well. now, the glasses know where they are, spacially, as there are a couple of cameras

on front of them. all of the processing is happening on the headset itself. the 0dgr—8 glasses will cost around £800 but they are basically a wearable computer. are some cheaper, lower tech ar options out there, though. there are lots of low—cost virtual reality headsets that make use of smartphones. this is a low—cost augmented reality headset that uses a phone. phones slot inside it here. put an ar app in it and the images on the screen is reflected right here. so, let's give it a go. so, when the headset‘s on, i can look down the screen and i can see graphics reflected from the phone just in the headset. now, it has another trick up its sleeve as well. you can attach peripherals on to it. i can see my hands in front of me and use them to cast flames.

take that, mr crocodile. that's it for the short cut of click for this week from tra nscending boundaries at the pace london gallery. the full length programme is up on iplayer for you to you watch now and there's loads of photos from all of this week's items on bbc click. thanks for watching. see you soon. good evening, it hasn't felt much like winter this weekend, with temperatures of like winter this weekend, with temperatures 01:14 degrees and a little sunshine, very pleasant for some. not for all. in little sunshine, very pleasant for some. not forall. in contrast, we had a lot of cloud for many parts of

the country because we are bathed in atla ntic the country because we are bathed in atlantic air. that is coming straight into the cornwall coast, giving us a lot of mist and murk. you can see the slow creeping in the cloud, the brightness disappearing in eastern areas. it remained bright at least if it were not sunny. overnight, the weather front will usherin overnight, the weather front will usher in a bit of patchy rain and drizzle. all of the low cloud, lowering onto the hills and the coast. we will have heavy rain for a time for parts of scotland in the northern isles in particular, as it meanders its way south, as it tends to peter out. it gives us a loss of cloud, a fairly brisk wind and more rain coming into the north—west later. it will be a mild night. these temperatures are higher than oui’ these temperatures are higher than our daytime averages at this time of year. so, as we move into monday morning, it is going to be quite great. opening the curtains, there will be held for the round, coastal fog through the bristol channel, the english channel, cardigan bay and into the irish sea. not much

brightness on the first thing. as well as the low cloud, we will also have a fairly brisk wind blowing across parts of northern england and north—east scotland. there could be gusts of a0 mph. to contend with for parts of northern ireland and scotland, heavy rain. not a particularly pleasant drive through the morning rush. the gusty wind will tend to ease. notable for the a-i, will tend to ease. notable for the a—i, and the rain eases southwards. it will be slightly fresher air here. for most of us we are still bathed in the atlantic air. ten and 11, even where we have the rain. the potential is there for 16 in some sunshine. that is because we have really very mild atlantic air across the uk. that will stay with us through monday. the cold air is not too far away. we will see cooler air across scotland during tuesday, some frost first thing. potentially more rain later in the day. still, the week whether from further south keeping things greyer than monday.

if there is brightness, we will see the temperatures leaping up again. later in the week we will lose the mild airand inherit later in the week we will lose the mild air and inherit blustery wind. this is bbc news. the headlines at seven. iraqi forces say they have captured several villages on the first day of their offensive to re—take western mosul from so called islamic state. iraq's last city held by the islamic state, but the assault on that last redoubt of the islamic state is now under way. the american company, kraft heinz, says it's withdrawn its proposed takeover of unilever — a joint statement between the two companies said the decision was "amicably agreed". thousands of prison officers in london and the south east of england are to get a pay increase of up to five thousand pounds. also coming up — donald trump renews his attack on the media. but there's consternation in sweden as the president cited a non—existent incident in the country as evidence that the usa needs tighter immigration controls. and look who they will meet —

number one — lincoln city.
