the first guest on the programme. the security princess. one of the biggest names in cyber security it sta rts biggest names in cyber security it starts with her if googles browser is hacked. if you're seen these padlocks they have a link between the computer or your phone of the website and make sure it is secure. she is behind the push to get more websites they see there is protocol. not all hackers are bad guys of course, she employs around 200 of them ina course, she employs around 200 of them in a specialist unit is on project zero. they hacked all sorts of software before the bad guys do so of software before the bad guys do so it can be spotted and fixed they are likely police force, but they wear hoodies, because that's all that hackers ever where apparently. he went to chat about all of these things with her at the biggest cyber security expo. the security princess is informal,
7:46 pm
controversial and unusually for the industry, she is a woman. we agreed to start. who gave you the title of security princess? i came up with that myself, i had a job title, information security incident —— security engineer. so i was going to go toa —— security engineer. so i was going to go to a conference and he told me to go to a conference and he told me to ta ke to go to a conference and he told me to take the business cards and notes like, if i'm going to have a job title, i will at least want to make it somewhat cute. on a serious note, you're one of few people at your level in the industry, even in the it industry,. when ijoined chrome, i was the only one, and i have a whole team does actually a majority
7:47 pm
of women, and there were the ones responsible for pushing it and the web. what are the things you pick up on that you think, actually, i reckon that probably does put quite a few women off? you hear a lot of stories. you know, very subtle things, like you go to an event and there's women that are, kind of, dressed in scantily—clad outfits and that's, like, the major women prescence there and that doesn't make you feel included and respected as a professional. small things like support for mothers so that they can actually participate i think would actually make environments doing that has actually incentivised more change in industry in terms of being able to fix security bugs faster. before you started, 25% of those problems got sorted in 90 days i understand? yes.
7:48 pm
and now it's what? now the vast majority, i think 98% of issues are fixed within the 90—day disclosure policy. is there something on the horizon that you are worried about? you have to be a genius to be in your position? no, you don't, i am not a genius. you have to be a genius? i'm not i'm really not a genius. if there's one thing i want you to know, i am not a genius. i work hard, i embrace learning and as you get older your kind of afraid to fail but that's how you learn. can we do one more because i know i lost the first one, so... sure, sure. 0k. three again? ok, got it. oh, yes! until next time, parisa, thank you very much. thank you. now, over the years, we've tried more than our fair share of weird every efa tech show is the smart home, which usually means the very latest version of a fridge
7:49 pm
with a camera in it unless you can't be bothered to open the door, but lara lewington has managed to hunt down some actually useful smart homery. there's been no shortage of smart home devices over the past few years, but which ones would you actually want? this small plastic bin is the prototype of something called the bindicator. the idea is it will connect to your local council's website and will then change colour depending on what bin needs to be collected. so it does solve a problem but the question is, do you really want it sitting in your house? one thing that isn't a matter of opinion, though, is that we all want to make sure our homes are safe. yes, it has the sensors, it even has the photo sensor which will take five photographs every time a movement triggers it, that's of course only when the alarm is actually set, but this is the real difference — a fog dispenser which will fill the room with fog, so if somebody is about to steal something, well, they might not be able to even find it. once the alarm is set, the control centre will be able
7:50 pm
to access sound and pictures. the activation ofjust one sensor is then enough to alert a human to trigger this fog if needed. woah! woah, it's quite something. i'm glad i didn't get thejob of being the fake burglar. oh, it does catch in your throat a bit and a bit stingy on your eyes but i've been assured it's perfectly safe, it's passed to some sort of eu regulations, and apparently it leaves no residue inside anyone‘s home because obviously that would be slightly offputting. i was also warned it may irritate pets. but of course it would be better to stop a would—be burglar at the first hurdle, the front door. this isn't the first smart bell that i've shown you but it is claiming to be the first that offers person detection and facial recognition. simon is at the front door. simon's at the front door! hello, simon.
7:51 pm
i'm just going to come and get you. full functionality does require a subscription. it can then recognise faces as well as unlock live video recordings, which can be available up to five days after they were captured. you can also pretend to be in when you're out. or, of course, vice—versa. they do say there's safety in numbers, though, so maybe you'd like some company. if you were starting to think your home virtual assistant was a little bit low—tech, then maybe it's because you've been waiting for a home robot. now here you can do video calls hands—free. it also has the other functions that you'd expect through facial recognition and identifying your shape, it can also identify you and follow you around. ijust need to introduce myself. there we go. it knows who i am. so come with me. slightly unnerving. great. i think my phone just
7:52 pm
needs a bit more power. i think actually, sadi, you look a bit too thirsty. i will pass you a drink. no need to move. they, temi, go to the sofa. brilliant, thanks. it recognised i go to the sofa, it's just not done it. hey, temi, go to the sofa. i didn't get that. go to the sofa. i'm going to the sofa. thank you. it does need a strong wi—fi connection and we all know voice recognition still has a way to go but still, you'd better make sure that your guests weren't too thirsty. welcome, astronaut.

you are about to embark on your first extravehicular activity on the moon. the suit will be wearing consists of several elements to enhance your experience. a suspended safety harness, a personal telemetry system to track your body movements, and finally, a samsung gear vr headset and controller to help you see objects in your environment. in the run—up to the 50th anniversary of the apollo 11 moon landing next year, creative studio framestore and samsung have been touring the world with their lunar vr experience called a moon for all mankind. only 12 white male american astronauts have walked to the moon. no other nationalities or gender or race, so i like the idea of opening up the moon for everybody. while vr headsets can track will respond to your head movements and some will allow you to move around in 3—d virtual space, to really feel like you are on the moon, you are going to have
7:54 pm
to lose some weight. this beast is based on nasa's own variable gravity simulator called argos, the active response gravity offload system. ok, the rig is now going to weigh me. and then work out what my weight would be on the moon. and then it knows how much extra lift to give me whenever i jump and how slowly, to make me descend, in order to simulate one—sixth gravity. wow. this is what it feels like to be on the moon. the experience hasn't even started yet and i'm having a good time. unlike more advanced vr headsets, the gear vr can only tell which way your head is pointing. the vertical position in the arms and the legs are tracked by the sensors on your suit. here we go to the edge of a crater now. the earth looks amazing.
7:55 pm
now unfortunately, if you are sensitive to a mismatch between your senses, the fact that you think you are moving forward across the lunar surface is actually you are going up and down may cause a little bit of discomfort. i'm going to get out of here because there seems to be a meteor shower. it certainly makes brain exhilarating ride, though. definitely more dramatic than any of the lunar astronauts would have wanted. oh, my goodness. my helmet‘s cracked. mission accomplished. how's that? i survived, but it was close. well, that was certainly an experience that you can't get anywhere on earth, apart from i suppose. don't forget we live on facebook and twitter. we are @bbcclick. thank you very much for watching and we will see you soon. take your first leap. hello, but one day, a 26 celsius in
