now on bbc news: click. it's 2020. when las vegas was well andi it's 2020. when las vegas was well and i can only mean one thing. welcome to ces. welcome to the biggest tax show on earth. —— tach. are you ces ready?

featuring 180,000 people. from what hundred and 60 countries. with 4000 companies. —— 160. and one pizza making robot. it's ces! goodness, he sounded excited didn't he? 50 he sounded excited didn't he? so he should. we got ourselves a studio this year overlooking the actual show. this is ces over that. it is quite something and we have for you the latest announcements from here as well as getting our hands on some of the most exciting looking gadgets that have made their way to las vegas. in fact, that have made their way to las vegas. infact, spencer, you've that have made their way to las vegas. in fact, spencer, you've been in the water with one of them. there is what it is. this is lake las vegas, an oasis in the desert. this is stacey and this is the

hydrofoiler, an electric bike that you paddle on the water. of course it is. as you pedal, the electric motor turns the propeller which pulls you forward and the hydrofoils underneath act like aircraft wings and lifted the whole caboodle out of the water. it is the same sort of thing you may have seen on racing units. it looks manageable doesn't it? how odd can it be really? —— hard. and as long as you paddle hard enough at the start, you can get lift you need and are sailing! they said you want to go for a bike ride in las vegas and i said yes, why not? they said you want to go to a trip on lake las vegas and i said

and realised they met at the same time. bleep. and here is the problem. until you get the hang of it, it is quite a bit of this. and this. and this. 0h quite a bit of this. and this. and this. oh dear, oh no, no. the trick, apparently, is if you feel the bike starting to over balance, stare into the tilt but lean the other way. —— steer. and when that doesn't work, try not to swear on camera. i was hoping to show you more of my successful rights but you've already seen all of them. before the winter water temperatures got the better of me. so please watch stacey being to cool for school while i tell you that experienced writers can get up to 13 miles an hour and the battery

gives you an hour of rides time and the price is nearly seven at the half thousand dollars. so if you buy one, find some warm water and practice, practice, practice. she makes it look so easy. i nearly had it, i swear i nearly had it. ijust need a couple more goes but right now, i'm absolutely frozen. that looks difficult. how was it has what it was difficult and cold wet and wet. and cold. but here's the thing right, if you go out there, everyone will tell you that their thing is amazing and spoiler alert... it's not! and we want to test as much as is humanly possible and someone who has tested more than is humanly possible if you ask me is lara. i've tried at some of the things i found

most exciting this year have been for the smart home. here are a few of my top picks. their role always plenty of smart home devices as ces but some of them are a bit more creative than others. it is called wheelme and the idea is that you can summon your wheelme and the idea is that you can summon your furniture using your voice or an summon your furniture using your voice oran up summon your furniture using your voice or an up or do so remotely. naturally, we figured that we could have some from with this so if you are trying at all round the house, this is all thanks to some smart coasters that are under here. wheeme are currently a prototype stage and they are eventually going to be miniaturised to around 25 millimetres but right now, i've got what i need right here in front of me. i going to take that, that, these and it is time to do a spot of cooking. let's get started. where is

that smart bin? it automatically opens and you can pop your rubbish inside. the sensor inside will be able to tell when it's full so it can automatically seal the bags or you can do it manually like this. now i can take out the sealed bag and once i close this, the new bag will move into place by itself. it will move into place by itself. it will keep doing this until you've used up all 25 bags that are in the cylinder. i felt like this was a little small for a kitchen but the company is working on a larger version too. 0k, company is working on a larger version too. ok, i'll company is working on a larger version too. 0k, i'lljust leave that to cook for a moment. 0h version too. 0k, i'lljust leave that to cook for a moment. oh no, i've spilt some coffee. luckily, we've got a robotic vacuum at hand. what a coincidence. narwhal has already mapped the rumours so it is now time to mop the room. you the programme through to use and in the future, it will be to do a spot

cleaning. while it does have a seriously hefty pricetag, what makes this device difference to similar ones is its ability to self clean. once it's made its way back to its base station, there is once section of clea n base station, there is once section of clean water and another section that will become dirty water after those mops have been washed. it will need to do that after every 30 square metres of cleaning so that really is a fair bit. that is quite a lot of goes around the kitchen. that looks ready but i could do with actually taking this to the show floor. luckily, i've got this lunchbox which actually heats up. each box uses steam technology to heat the food inside. this section here is where the food goes. it is sealed with this bit of rubber to stop the food leaking out of the bag orany of stop the food leaking out of the bag or any of the water seeping into the food. the makers have considered the fa ct food. the makers have considered the fact that this may not be enough food for some people and that is why the removable trays are easy to

stack up. you can have a view of them and keep swapping them in order to warm up more food. 0k, ok, there is lunch. i shall warm that up again when i get there. time to head back to the show floor. i brought some lunch. this was pretty easy. i needed to do was put a spot of water underneath the food and then in ten minutes, it was piping hot. lovely. 0h then in ten minutes, it was piping hot. lovely. oh sorry, initially make you any. charming. there is a pizza making robot here at the moment and its costs 300 and hour. let's look at the really big announcements from this week's show. asi announcements from this week's show. as i write? not bad. ces loves a new tv but the challenge is often been persuading the rest of us that we actually need them. samsung went big on eight cake you lead displays — mark qled and also upscaling lower

risk on tent with al. the edges on this tv are so thin that it is being described as almost as all this. a 996 described as almost as all this. a 9% of what you're looking at is just a screen. if you're struggling to understand why anyone actually cares that the frame is just a little bit smaller than at least this one has something very different about it. samsung not only works horizontally like a normal tv but also vertically. take a look at this. it may be only four kbytes will mirror your phone and is being considered a future concept based on our changing habits and how we consume media. still a limited amount of content in the shape though. still seems better the shape though. still seems better the old way. meanwhile, lg display was suggesting a more uses for its transparent and flexible oled

screens. in an aircraft for example, ina carand screens. in an aircraft for example, in a car and in the living room. here is the follow—up to the rollup tv we saw four years ago. this one rolls down. what will they think of next? interestingly, the original rollu p next? interestingly, the original rollup once it will go on sale later this yearfor $60,000. rollup once it will go on sale later this year for $60,000. the rollup once it will go on sale later this yearfor $60,000. the pitch is that if you have a really small living room, you can maximise the space by rolling the screen out of the way. if you're paying $60,000 for a screen, i suspect that you don't have a small living room. better known for their consoles than their cars sony unexpectedly unveiled an electric concept car. the vision—s features 33 advanced sensors, multiple widescreen displays an every 60 degrees audio. don't expect to be whizzing down a road with one anytime soon though as the japanese giant hasn't revealed

planets to sell the car to the public. back to samsung which unveiled its new keeping robot assistant called bawl—e. unveiled its new keeping robot assistant called bawl-e. it is a small robot it follows you around and acts as a personal trainer and catch special moments of its camera. it can take shores of your hand by controlling smart appliances but can't go upstairs. there's been competition here at ces to see who can unveil the wackiest robot. and chinese firm poodo tech showed off a cat faced weights offering around meals in busy restaurant. the robot makes a soft meow when it reaches its hungry customers and will even react to getting. but it for too long though and it will get annoyed at you for destructing it from its job. and finally, from the company that developed the vegetarian burger that developed the vegetarian burger

that bleeds, impossible foods has created a pork substitute. it is made from a sub made from a molecule found in some plants and meat. made ina lab found in some plants and meat. made in a lab that gives a texture that resembles actual meat, the company hopes it help break into pork loving trainer. the first product to feature the new food, the impossible sausage, is launching in the united states this week. yes! one of the hottest areas over the last few years has been streaming with loads of new services joining netflix in the battle for eyes. here at ces, a pretty new idea has been unveiled. quibi is a streaming service specifically for mobiles. it is going to be a subscription service offering high production value films presented in bite—size ten minute chunks to be watched on

the go. but most interestingly, each film will be full—screen, no matter which way up you hold your phone and no matter when you switch between orientations. and instead of getting a compromised, cropped view when watching portrait mode, you get different shots specifically chosen by the direct. that work in that orientation. each quibi film is basically to make films running in parallel with the ability to switch between them at any moment. this was the main aim of the founder's. we knew from our use case that people are on the go. 7am to 7pm at night. maybe get on the bus and are holding your phone imported and you want to watch something in landscape and you

get off and then you want to... we knew we had to go seamlessly from porter to landscape and we wanted to be full—screen video because a lot of video on your phone isn't full—screen video today it hasn't been shot with the right aspect ratio. so we got together and we said, we've got to shoot this content differently. we got to shoot the film a little differently but then we have to render it and do it portrait to landscape transition without taking down a tremendous battery power or tremendous bandwidth. and so there was a technical challenge and a challenge around how the film was going to be shot. it is a little bit of the magic ofjeffrey and i coming together to found this company because, he knows the creative side andi because, he knows the creative side and i know the tax item we were able to do something that no—one has done before. apparently you're filming a lot in eight case, can you get good resolution portrait cropped footage. that is really expensive isn't it? we had set out to cut corners gonna that has a pricetag because opportunities are generated content which we admire, it's great, it's made for pennies and honours a minute, just make dollars a minute.

it's expensive but that is worth paying for breathing. hello? the ability to show different shots depending on which way the phone is orientated is taken even further in the short film, nest, where watching and landscape shows a cinematic number but switching to potter it shows what the main character can see on her phone screen instead. you know what? i will come back. you have a good one. this under some new streaming services that anyone is going to pay for. that's got to be a consideration. on a magazine, it's like we can afford to have everything we want so in that regard you are right. at a macro level of the 50,000 feet down, we are competing for people's entertainment. for this big, competing for people's entertainment. forthis big, i think. we think we are awfully affordable. and differentiated from

whatever body else is doing. $4.99, are you going to make money anytime? you see a daiwa bill become profitable in the not—too—distant future, and people have a decision. if it's growing like crazy, do we invest more in content and marketing, but we are really responsible from a financial perspective and recreated a business plan that our event is underrated because we told them what the runway look like. this is not one of those things will be safe will build an audience and geographic and make money. we to old dogs. we run businesses, we've been ceos, day one, this has got a very clear path to profitability, reasonably early. i've got thisjust to profitability, reasonably early. i've got this just streamers who are trying to get our attention.

advertisers of —— are in a constant battle and its getting increasingly ha rd battle and its getting increasingly hard for them so open the company that it hard for them so open the company thatitis hard for them so open the company that it is a computer vision and ai to put ads in the footage that we are already watching, after it has been made. in a fast paced world of growing impatience, who want to sit there and add that? so, could this be the solution? right here beside me isa be the solution? right here beside me is a blank wall. but that is enough to change. perhaps as they using aig by the right spots for the right advertising and the content we are already watching. i'm sending video footage was created and from there the aa can select where in the image the advert should be placed. intense detection and weather introduces on the continent, that is

done by the ao. every do require a human eye, is the actual embedded work because of the competitive shadows and lighting are things like that. we have a skilled team that posed analysis, then places that brand in and the machine will struggle to learn to, for example, if there is a scene where there is a car crash, it wouldn't want a car brand in there. it depends on the type of content so if you're looking —— using a soap opera, the context of the scenes are quite repetitive, you are from a cafe to a pub, to street, you will find we can identify something it is to be continuous. you can't have it in one centres be in the other, is —— it's useful for that. i thought that i was quite interesting, and the background as a relative and obvious place to put something but you might not idea him and have said, that spacesin not idea him and have said, that

spaces in the background and cover the window. but i fell apart is looking at weird stuff that companies have come up with for example, any idea what that is) oh, it's supposed to do that. some strange headphones? they are not. if they are the shoe blast. if you have smelly dues this was all the raffles up smelly dues this was all the raffles up can't borrow some shoe blast. if you have smelly dues this was of the matter. can't borrow some shooter demonstrate? i think yours are more appropriate. trust me i spelt yours. —— issues. a genuinely is my favourite part of ces, wandering around and looking at the weird stuff. here's the round—up of all the crazy stuff around. you just got

me getting attached to. they say what happens in vegas stays in vegas,, these tattoos will, they we re vegas,, these tattoos will, they were washed right up. you can choose what you want. i'm going to get this little foxes and there we are —— fox and branded for life until i shower. this is like to read. it is made of micro led and it fits through the eye of a needle. it was in a glass case but i convince the company to let them —— let me poke it for a few seconds to show you how small it is. there is no plans to put this in any codes at the moment so i have challenged them to do that for next. i have stopped for a gabbing break to play with vortex. it's basically a little fan in a box blast you with hot or cold air to make your gaming more immersive. look mum, no keys! this is a concept from samsung.

instead of typing on a tiny sufferance screen, you can use yourself the camera and touch type on the table in front of you and the camera recognises the letters that you are trying to type in your head and it's weird because i have been playing and training mode, i've had a few minutes to try it and i really got some speed up. it does work. i know is the wrong month for a christmas tree but i want to show you these lights which can make co—ordinated patterns. it can do that because using your phone you very quickly can map the location of each individual led. and that means you can also draw custom patterns on a christmas tree. it's about $300 for a string of 600 led‘s so this tree is worth to the $2000. this is the ultimate, you can click on your bike and control videogames. i can

a nswer bike and control videogames. i can answer decide and steer in the company promises me i will never fall off. the foster eye panel, the more bolts issued in this game and there is even a little racing game. i would love to see them linkage of these together so i can play maracay from france. time for summer smartphone prototypes. if you want to change your smartphone into a folding phone, perhaps device from pocket monitors can help. it turns your existing phone into a 3—way folding phone, sort of. one ago for something completely different and have a blind smartphone. let you send round calls and brand messages, but you can't take around softly. this device does notjust overhead headphone jack it, it has to so you can listen to songs with france. the creator said she wants to make it

because people are naturally drawn to circles. we have sent off machines uptake drinks from capsules. this machine makes cu pca kes capsules. this machine makes cupcakes and cookies. it's called --is cupcakes and cookies. it's called ——is from argentina, i open these pose and squeeze the go into these little cooking trays and then into the machine they go. it's going to ta ke the machine they go. it's going to take about five minutes to cook a celestial time or something. as time for the testis. ——so let's do a timelapse or something. for the testis. ——so let's do a timela pse or something. that's for the testis. ——so let's do a timelapse or something. that's good. it will be rude if i didn't stay here and make absolutely sure they all taste as good. i will see when a bit. -- i all taste as good. i will see when a bit. —— i will see you in a bit.

that's it from us from ces, at least for this week. there are more amazing things to come next week. for this week. there are more amazing things to come next weekm the meantime, you know where we are. thank you so much for watching stop see you soon. hello there. there was a good view of the wolf moon for many parts of the country early on in the night, that was before all this cloud rolled in. a lot of it is quite high cloud, the zone of thickest cloud that's stretching across scotland and northern ireland is on that weather front there. that is continuing to bring some outbreaks of rain. the winds are going to be howling, we are drawing in the milder winds from a long way south,

so after a cold start, temperatures are continuing to rise to these sort of numbers by the end of the night. nine, ten, maybe 11 degrees — still on the chillier side across east anglia, mind you. we've still got the rain coming in to scotland and northern ireland heavy over the hills. a little trickle this way, very slowly southwards, some quite wet weather over the cumbrian fells and later into snow down here. eventually the rain turns more showery in scotland throught the afternoon, the winds will start to ease a bit but it stays very windy across england and wales, strong to gale force winds here. but as we've seen its mild air so for many parts of the country we've got double—figure temperatures, perhaps as high as 12 or 13 degrees. the weather front bringing that brand of rain will sweep its way down toward south—eastern areas overnight on saturday night, and then leaving behind that, we are going to find showers coming in on a cooler air stream from off the atlantic. we've still got some rain to clear away first thing across the south—east of england, once that goes we will see a batch of showers coming in across wales through the midlands. those could be rather heavy in the morning before easing

off during the afternoon. further north some sunshine, and some showers, most of them in th north—west of scotland where it will be wintry over the hills. we're back in to cooler air on sunday, particularly across the northern half of the uk, still double figures for a while in the south—east, it won't be as windy. but only briefly because look what is coming in from the atlantic — a storm is brewing. that's going to be racing our way, probably heading to the north—west of scotland. after a reasonably quiet start, with some sunshine around, it probably will stay dry across eastern areas but the winds will continue to strengthen, particularly out towards the west where we'll see this rain moving in and that's going to be quite heavy. the strength of the wind could cause one or two issues, 60, maybe 70 miles an hour or more across some western parts of the uk. of course it's a mild wind direction and those temperatures are going to be up to around 8—11 degrees. that sets the scene on what is going to be a very changeable week ahead, we're going to find further areas of low pressure, rain at times, strong winds.

for the most part, it will be mild.
