estate. in the same way that you only display house when you buy it, if you only nft of the land the plot is yours. and there has been an explosion in interests. according to metaverse alistair adapt greater, more than $2 billion has been spent in the past year on metaverse land. but it is notjust big corporations. i’zre notjust big corporations. i've bou~ht notjust big corporations. i've bought my — notjust big corporations. i've bought my first _ notjust big corporations. is: bought my first metaverse parcel injuly bought my first metaverse parcel in july 2020. bought my first metaverse parcel injuly 2020. it bought my first metaverse parcel in july 2020. it was about 1500 that i've paid. i'd bought it really for exhibiting my own work, but also for running events, metaverse events that would promote my art, but also other people's art. . ., , art, but also other people's art. . .,y ., art, but also other people's art. , art, but also other people's art. .,y ., art. anthony taylor is an artist who _ art. anthony taylor is an artist who has _ art. anthony taylor is an artist who has been - art. anthony taylor is an - artist who has been creating, buying, and selling visual affairs. she owns plots in a platform called vauxhall, previously known as crypto voxel previously known as crypto voxel. , , , previously known as crypto voxel. ,, , ., , voxel. this is my gallery, called the _ voxel. this is my gallery, called the london - voxel. this is my gallery, | called the london gallery, voxel. this is my gallery, - called the london gallery, an myself. $5 called the london gallery, an m self. �* , called the london gallery, an

things that clothing is, so on the one hand you have clothing which is functional which keeps you warm, and, on the other, protects you, on the other hand, clothing is a form of self—expression that basically lets you share the message of who you are and with everybody around you would say so. to take those two apart is basically what we did and that we can do with technology only. we don't need anything else. the company is selling digital garments to customers for anywhere between $100 to thousands. their record sales for a digital dress that someone spent $70,000 on. the company hasjust raised someone spent $70,000 on. the company has just raised $14 million in funding and is hoping to grow as the metaverse materialises. like a lot of the people and companies we are talking to, you are investing in the metaverse, are you hopeful that you are early and the masses will come?-

the crypto universes despite being more fully open to the vision of the metaverse are clearly not drawing any crowds yet. where is everybody? as you will moving through you will notice there are a lot of big white boxes, so these are the spaces that people buy up and then don't do anything with. it makes the area feel dead. in makes the area feel dead. in horizon wells, mitta's flaxey well, reports also suggest the people are not being engaged for long. some analysts predict that these wells will explode in the next ten years, the people spending six hours a day plug—in. but which version and which land these people will choose to populate is very much unknown. that was joe tidy and now it's time for a look at this week's tech news. there has been a lot of speculation this week about what portable look like under the new owner, elon musk. the one he has suggested it will cost verified accounts $8 a month to keep their blue tick. what will he think of next? no idea. forthe

and 40s do survive, though, and hundreds are on display here in the museum of jewish heritage in new york. butjust like many other museums devoted tojewish heritage, a lot of the people in the photos here are unnamed. here, three men are being deported to a concentration camp, perhaps they don't know where they are going. we don't know, the miyu —— museum says they don't know who they are or what happened to them. it is a common story. irate what happened to them. it is a common story.— what happened to them. it is a common story. we don't have the names for— common story. we don't have the names for everybody. _ common story. we don't have the names for everybody. it _ common story. we don't have the names for everybody. it is - common story. we don't have the names for everybody. it is part i names for everybody. it is part of the problem, and i can't stress enough how important these photos are of individuals. we all know the figure, 6 million, 6 million jewish people were killed but it is really one person 6 million times, every person has a name, every person has a face. �* ., , a name, every person has a face. �* . , , , a name, every person has a face. �* ., , , ., a name, every person has a face. �* , , ., ., face. but as members of that community — face. but as members of that community has _ face. but as members of that community has died, - face. but as members of that community has died, so - face. but as members of that community has died, so too i face. but as members of that i community has died, so too has the ability to directly identify others in archival photos.

software engineer daniel patt has been working to help solve this problem, using artificial intelligence. he calls the project from numbers to names. let's say, for example, you're looking for a photo of your family member. you have a picture of them from before. you upload it, and we scan through hundreds of thousands of photos, millions of faces in seconds, to find the photos that have the most likely chance of being your family member. the most likely chance of being yourfamily member. his your family member. his algorithm _ your family member. his algorithm has _ yourfamily member. his algorithm has gained hundreds of thousands of pictures. using facial recognition technology it links hundreds of thousands of acres. —— faces. a photo of one person we know can link to someone we don't.— someone we don't. this is a hoto someone we don't. this is a photo of _ someone we don't. this is a photo of a _ someone we don't. this is a photo of a woman _ someone we don't. this is a photo of a woman whose i someone we don't. this is a i photo of a woman whose name someone we don't. this is a - photo of a woman whose name now is blanche fixler. i uploaded this on the left and it identifies all the names in the photo, so blanche is the one

left. looking through all the search results, there is the original and here is this photo. if i click on it, it will zoom into where blanche might be. this is a photo that to the best of our knowledge blanche has never seen before, and to the best of our knowledge the museum doesn't knowledge the museum doesn't know that blanche is in this photo. but the algorithm only gives probabilities of matches, so today, dan is going to meet blanche to see whether the picture he found, taken in france, is really her. hi, nice to meet you. so, here we go, this is a picture that i found of you. this picture, i don't know if you've seen this before. does this look... that's me, yeah. the one here? yes. you can tell? yeah, that's me, yeah, for sure. i'll zoom in so you can get a closer look. oh, wow. 0h, some of these guys i remember. one was my boyfriend! and in the picture, her aunt rose — the aunt that saved her.

here is my aunt rose. wow! wow, so i think to the best of my knowledge there's only three people in this group that have been identified so far. there are hundreds of thousands of people murdered by the nazis for which there are pictures but no names. scott miller is not part of that numbers to names project but says at least trying to identify victims, even 80 years later, is vital. it is so important to identify these photos. evenjust to it is so important to identify these photos. even just to give somebody a name, you are restoring some dignity to their families, some sentiments of dignity to them. for blanche, the pictures

hello there. a ridge of high pressure on friday brought a cold and frosty start, but a beautiful day right across the country, hardly a cloud in the sky for many. and temperatures did recover to highs ofjust under 14 degrees in swanage in dorset. there's the clear skies. but it is all change as we move into the weekend, the satellite picture showing this area of low pressure, the isobars tightly squeezed around it, and it is going to throw yet more cloud, wind and rain in our direction. ahead of it we will see those temperatures falling away, but as the night progresses, cloud will continue to build and the rain arrives so here not quite as cold. but it does mean sheltered, rural parts of eastern scotland once again could see a touch of frost and low single figures across eastern areas. that is where the best of the morning sunshine is likely to be on saturday. but the cloud, wind and rain

will continue to push in from the west, and that is going to gradually spread its way steadily eastward. by the mid afternoon, it will be sitting across scotland, down through the spine of the country and it will weaken a little bit, but it will be cloudy with outbreaks of rain. blustery winds as that rain pushes through. the best of the brighter to the last couple of days, 10—14 degrees. if you have plans for bonfire night, draw a line from let's say south—east england through the wash, down to the isle of wight, anywhere south and east of that could be ratyher cloudy with outbreaks of rain. we could see that the rain pep up through the south—east into the early hours of sunday morning and linger for a time. whatever happens on sunday, low pressure not far

away and it will throw in bands of rain or showers which may merge together for longer spells of rain for a time on that sunday. so be prepared for a little bit of everything for the second half of the weekend. there will be some drier, brighter interludes and those temperatures similar values, 11—14 celsius. now as we move out of sunday into monday and tuesday, it stays blustery with plenty of showers around. but the winds turning more southerly so it will be just a degree or so milder. that's it — whatever you're doing, have a lovely weekend.
