the islamic art galleries, something started to stir inside of me. almost a connection to the ancient past. the pilgrimage is to mecca, the birthplace of islam. but many also visit medina, the second holiest city for muslims. now, i've not personally been on hair: i've not personally been on hajj, it's supposed to happen at least once in every muslim's lifetime, and only after you are settled and don't have any debts or obligations. and that's not me at the moment, so i will not be there anytime soon. however, being here and seeing these artworks, especially from mecca and medina, really makes me want to learn more about my religion and the culture that surrounds it. this is special. so the next leg in myjourney to learn more has taken me to a large space in south london. we are a dozen pieces of art relating to

the hajj are being digitised. they are from the holy early collections which includes what is considered to be the largest and most significant group of objects relating to the cultural history of hajj. and its founder sir david hurley. i think historically islamic art because it is islamic, because it was the most diverse group of art ever seen, every piece had a message. but the story of the hajj has never been told. through the object that was produced culturally to honour the place. as you are not allowed to go to mecca medina but through the experience of collecting objects from the last 50 years of my life, i feel like i'm there anyhow. i virtually feel the soul of the artists have produced these objects to their beliefs. idols? objects to their beliefs. now an obvious _ objects to their beliefs. now an obvious way _ objects to their beliefs. now an obvious way to _

objects to their beliefs. now an obvious way to share - objects to their beliefs. now an obvious way to share art is through digitisation but for it to really work and notjust be 2—dimensional, the art needs to live and breathe, every brushstroke of a painting or every thread of a textile. you really need to bring out what is not visible to the naked eye. take this silk for example it's used to cover shrines in the holy in mecca. finally embroidered in both silver and gold — covered wire. the embroidered in both silver and gold - covered wire. the amount of time, gold - covered wire. the amount of time. effort — gold - covered wire. the amount of time, effort and _ gold - covered wire. the amount of time, effort and intricacy - of time, effort and intricacy that's gone into many of these works is a matter of spiritual importance. it's notjust art for art sake but this is produced for a very particular, sacred, ritualistic and spiritual purpose. that's where the google art camera, which is capturing the minutiae of detail, comes in. the camera is a custom—built camera, built to capture images of paintings and

artworks in super high resolution. it generates what is called a giga pixel which is is called a giga pixel which is i million pixels. is called a giga pixel which is 1 million pixels.— 1 million pixels. how does it compare — 1 million pixels. how does it compare to _ 1 million pixels. how does it compare to other— 1 million pixels. how does it compare to other cameras? | 1 million pixels. how does it - compare to other cameras? i've got my phone here so let's take a photo of it with this. and as you can see here, it looks great. but as soon as you start zooming in, it gets quite pixelated and messy. and the same goes for my personal camera with a 50 millimetres lens. again, no real detail of the gold we know is sitting underneath the silver. the camera is _ underneath the silver. the camera is equipped - underneath the silver. iie: camera is equipped with underneath the silver. tie: camera is equipped with a laser and a sonar and using high—frequency sounds pretty much like a bat, is able to measure the distance between the camera and the artwork to make sure that the focus is right. make sure that the focus is ri . ht. �* make sure that the focus is riuht. �* ., make sure that the focus is riuht. �* . ., right. and after about 45 minutes. _ right. and after about 45 minutes, every - right. and after about 45 minutes, every bit - right. and after about 45 minutes, every bit is - right. and after about 45 - minutes, every bit is digitised and programme stitches together to generate the full image. an to generate the full image. an ima . e to generate the full image. jifi image captured without camera

this, zooming right in, the finer details of the painting, the shadows into the hats. and it works quite similar to google earth in that way in that you can zoom in and see incredible detail of a specific location but, in this case, of art. some of these pieces are being shown for the first time. but even in a museum, you can only view it from a distance or when the artwork is inside glass boxes. barely anyone has the privilege to see these pieces in real life, let alone this up close. remember the silk cloth used in the holy mosque? here it is, with hints of gold underneath the silver. not really visible to the naked eye. it's as if the tech is helping me to reach something beyond the art. i can see what sir david meant. that there is another side to it, going on hajj is one thing but completing that spiritual, but cultural side of it, using this

art, that's entrenched in the hajj's history, is... it's something special. hello and welcome to the week in tech. it was the week that geoff azoff step down as is on bass 27 years after founding the online tech giant —— jeff bezos. china's cyberspace administration order the removal of right hailing up didi from chinese app stores after ms accusations it's been illegally collecting personal data. and nintendo announced a new $s50 nintendo switch games console, complete with a bigger screen. it was also the week that the european space agency showed off an 11 metre long robotic arm. the european robotic arm. the european robotic arm. the european robotic arm will be the first arm able to walk in space, anchoring it softer fixed points and moving between them. the first pictures of the

hype, but in this unit, the only thing that is sd printed is this section here. everything else here is built through traditional housing techniques. the houses are plans to build in southern california will use sd printing for the building's walls, but the development is only 15 houses. the houses themselves are being sold for more than $500,000, so you will need a fair bit of cash to buy one, and they don't actually have permission to build yet. mighty buildings certainly has potential, and many in the building industry will be looking on with interest. but is this the answer to today's housing problems? well, no, not yet. that was james.— yet. that was james. now as we said, yet. that was james. now as we said. summer— yet. that was james. now as we said, summer season _ yet. that was james. now as we said, summer season is - yet. that was james. now as we said, summer season is upon i yet. that was james. now as we said, summer season is upon us and many of us will be getting itchy feet, wishing we could go on holiday abroad. but alas, here we are. 50 on holiday abroad. but alas, here we are.— on holiday abroad. but alas, here we are. so we're bringing ou here we are. so we're bringing you story _ here we are. so we're bringing you story from _ here we are. so we're bringing you story from far— here we are. so we're bringing you story from far away, i here we are. so we're bringing you story from far away, really far away. when nick was in
