so here we are in the massive mobile world congress. ormous halls of madness and noise, as everyone tries to launch their product with maximum pizzazz and maximum volume. but these days this event is notjust about mobiles, of course. virtual reality is everywhere. since you can use a phone as a vr headset, many companies have opted to up the excitement by strapping people in and hurling them about. yes, folks, vr can be totally immersive, if you have your own 360 chair. and i don't even want to think what kind of experience this chap is having. but going live in 360 is less about the headset and more about the kind of camera equipment you can and cannot use. you are currently watching me through a nokia ozo, which is a professional 360 camera with a professional pricetag to boot — about 16,000 us dollars, or 40,000 euros. but it is a beautiful looking thing. it has eight lenses all around the sphere, which means not only can you can see in all directions, but it can also shoot in 3—d because that combination of lenses allows it to proces

world of mobiles. we are at the mobile world congress in barcelona — the big show devoted to phones, tablets and all thingse're a bit behind schedule but we're going to get there. although, if we look a bit distracted it is because we are preparing for a rather audacious experiment. it is not that we are not interested in the floating displays, connected bus stops, flash cars, smart shoes or robot drones, it is just that we are about to bash out something a lot more complicated. last year we filmed an entire programme in 360 degrees, allowing those watching in virtual reality to look around the fantastic locations simply by turning their heads or their phones in whichever direction they pleased. and that is the power of 360, you really feel like you have been teleported into the situation. not only that but these days we also have the ability to stream 360 live, so imagine that, the next time we send a robot to the moon, if it has a 360 camera on board, then we can all put on a pair of goggles and actually feel like we are there too. so that is what we are doing today, getting ready to go live in 360, not

ahead of next week's mobile world congress in barcelona, i've also managed to get a sneak preview ofest version of sony's xperia projector. it's an android—based device that throws a touch sensitive display onto a table or a wall. it has all the touchscreen functionality of a tablet, including pinch and zoom, with your finger‘s positions being watched by a camera under the projector and a row of infrared sensors at table level to detect when you've actually touched the surface. we are heading towards a world where our devices will be so small that we won't want a screen or a keyboard or any kind of input device attached to them and i see this as one of the solutions. you just have a display when you want it, on whatever surface is around. so, very cool, but this week... ..even that is not the coolest thing i've seen. from blue screen jungles to strange adventures in time, over the past few weeks we've been exploring some of the best visual effects from the past year and this week is no exception. directed by gareth edwards, the visual genius behind monsters and godzilla, rogue one ha

ceo reed hastings has been speaking to our technology correspondent rory cellan jones at the mobile world congressjust starting, we are getting more viewing on mobile and doing well on television but the key thing is being able to binge view and watch whenever you want. you need to keep adding these subscriber numbers, how will you continue because there must be a limit to the number of people who want to pay that much monthly? you chip have just announced they are doing a billion hours of viewing a day so considerably more than netflix so there is lots of room to grow. but thatis there is lots of room to grow. but that is for free, youtube. we will continue to invest in a great shows and people who will want to subscribe now 100 billion paying members. the big issue has been neutrality of net. you do not want that to be charged from other kinds of traffic. what are the prospects 110w of traffic. what are the prospects now that we have a trump administration that is not seem friendly to that? net neutrality has taken around friendly to that? net neutrality has ta ken around the friendly to that? n
