now, in 2017, this was the scene of a tragedy, the us‘s doubtless is have mass shooting. a green one in one of the rooms —— gunman in one of the room is fire on concertgoers gci’oss the room is fire on concertgoers across the road, he killed 58 people and injured more than 400. the incident sparked a review of security across the city, but now it's been taking further. richard has been looking at whether technology can stop would—be perpetrators in their tracks. here is the dilemma— how do you keep the world's entertainment c four is a privilege without turning it into a party looping security fortress? titrate one believes it has the answer. using unobtrusive sensors, which generate information feeds which generate information feeds which can be assessed to see if

someone which can be assessed to see if someone is carrying a weapon. this vegas casino resort is now rolling out the tight, which has been interesting for the past two years. there are various bits of hardware here... the system can be discreetly placed in a building in things or turnstile. unlike a metal detector, it creates and it creates an abysmal fence you wouldn't even know was there. this —— an invisible fence. if i'm carrying a concealed weapon on my person, the system, deployed invisibly in these planters, can kick in. var and making a determination whether or not this is benign, and a letting security authorities to take action. the pad to scan device worked on several levels, once i sat in the low level microwave sensors which bounces of objects creating so—called resonate resonance frequency patterns which identifies the shape of an object.
7:49 pm
another creates a magnetic field and detect disturbances as an object passes free. but the real smart stuff lies in the ai algorithms, they assess the sensor data against that already in the database to figure out if weapons are being hidden. with daily shootings in the us and a knife crime epidemic in the uk, the lure of a system to keep us safe is certainly seductive. we want to be in public schools, hotels, shopping malls, university campuses. we are now in the business of rolling out, of the marker is our genesis, our starting point. the uk market will be extremely important to us, particularly when comes to noise because of the current knife crime crisis. ground-breaking as they take is, it is largely unproven. how accurate is your system ? unproven. how accurate is your system? when unproven. how accurate is your system ? when it unproven. how accurate is your system? when it comes to ai, the machine is only as much as the data it is fed. we have been out for a long time now with tremendous

partners like west gate, who have allowed us a bit of data here. we have built a sufficient large data holdings, we now have confidence in the accuracy of our system is massive enough that we are now in our first massive enough that we are now in ourfirst commercial massive enough that we are now in our first commercial deployment. our elder doctor for those commercial deployments also understand that the systems deployments also understand that the syste ms get deployments also understand that the systems get better and better as more data is fitted in, they are equally allowing us to ingest for training the system. still, the system is not 100% accurate awful prey. i was it may well get into the premises of an away entirely, or a whipping could be heading in a different shaped object like a metal box. so an additional security layer is needed. so if i may believe get into the premises of an away entirely, or a whipping could be heading ina entirely, or a whipping could be heading in a different shaped object like a metal box. so an additional security layer is needed. so if on a pulley brandishing a a security, can make an assessment based on what is in my hand and its database. if it decides it's a weapon, it will trigger a relevant outlet. the idea of augmenting human eyes with
7:51 pm
computer vision is catching on globally, a number of outfits promising to enhance security. understandably, that leaves many people uneasy. we are very conscious of the fact that people don't want to live in a mass surveillance society, that are different ways in which you can gather data, but we ca ptu red which you can gather data, but we captured no personal information, we don't stored personal information. we are looking for objects, people are of no interest to us unless they are of no interest to us unless they are carrying weapons. our ai has been recognised to recognise the threats, not people, that i think pictures on right side of that line between too much surveillance and not enough security. no, this is not a no, this is nota pair of no, this is not a pair of goggles, it is the prototype of an air

purifying mask. the finished product will look like this. with claims it is 50 times more effective than the market leading cycling mass, this uses nanotechnology to fill para out harmful particulate matter. apparently, the prototype is a lot less comfortable apparently, the prototype is a lot less co mforta ble tha n apparently, the prototype is a lot less comfortable than he finish very soon, and this is a size large. i feel like my nose is being held, it sounds like that, it would take some getting used to, but it is adjusting according to my respiration rate. right now, the fan is going 16%, i can make it got more if i want more airto be pumped. can make it got more if i want more air to be pumped. now i feel like i'm at the dentist up i certainly couldn't run like this, maybe i couldn't run like this, maybe i could ride a bike, i don't now. it has five hours battery life, the device will be miniaturised in time to stop despite the fact looked com pletely to stop despite the fact looked completely and utterly ridiculous, it has actually made it to the

natural conversation with someone. the idea is that this is all about invisible computing, the something like this should be listened to obtrusive than having your phone in front of you. wow, that is incredible! ina front of you. wow, that is incredible! in a way, the fact there is little enough information for it to not be totally distracting makes it better, if they pretty much up, it better, if they pretty much up, it would just become overwhelming. whilst i wasn't allowed to actually wear it, just holding it up, i can see some simple stats right before my eyes. which having been sceptical in advance, i was pretty blown away by it. how is it possible to fit all of this into the lens? we have had to build our own wireless protocol between the lines and other wearable accessories that we have had to manage power, data and insight of chip. that accessory connects to your phone or the cloud, that takes additional computing resources and information. it is very comfortable, if it's your argument it correct

your vision when you wear it. if you have a prescription, we build that into the lens. heart rate data, speed, even with your eyes shut, you will be able to see less because it is lit up, obviously, the lines are sitting beneath your eyelid. it feels seriously sci—fi. there you have it— what to wear to see and feel the future. they are, never taking that photo before... the thing about coming to las vegas rate avatar christmas is that you eat lots of third, followed by lots more food. chris fawkes has decided he is going to use technology to help knock him back into shape. this is what he has found. these three new apps are designed to help with your fitness goals, using image recognition, machine learning and motion sensors. but are any of these as advanced

enough to replace a personal trainer, i've come to the gym to find out. this first one uses image recognition to make sure you're using the exercises properly. you choose a trainer, put the phone a few metres away and follow the instructions in your headphones. great, i can see you. get into the starting position circus you at all times. based on what the camera sees, the ad gives you feedback to correct your form. your hips are a bit too high up. also counts how many roxy do properly so you can track your progress. at the moment, the only ones with body weight exercises, city move on to weight training, and try another one, a virtual one you can talk to. i'm done. rest for two minutes. how many reps did you do? ten. well done, let's do another set. the artworks
7:57 pm
up let's do another set. the artworks up the spout goes tailored to your own goals, you don't need to write anything down. add another five kilograms to each side of the barn. to relax and finish off, a yoga app. this detects my position and correct my form, this detects my position and correct myform, fairwarning, this detects my position and correct my form, fair warning, it is going to be terrible. not quite. give me the time, i'm doing it! i got a time, idid the time, i'm doing it! i got a time, i did it right! i'm not sure whether setting the sensors of every type will take some of these and out of yoga, although the company says it is more accurate than using image recognition. oh, come on! these are add interactivity to a work—out, but can't they match the kind of encouragement you get from a human personal trainer? there you go, a downward facing dog from a forward facing vox. cheesy, you say? we are
