now, that's obviously really hard for a computer to do, but nick kwek has been looking at some technology working towards just that. i've come to tel aviv, israel, to see a doctor with a difference. no cold stethoscope, but i do need to say ahh, as well as make a bunch of other sounds. it's a early decay of the voice. today, dr levanon is going to give me my medical purely by listening to the way i talk. ..see anything beyond verbal of what my state of health is. he's a firm believer that it's not what you say, it's how you say it. he isn't a doctor of medicine, but of research he's been working on it for more than 2a years, which has culminated in a new piece of software. it's a tuesday morning. we've got to catch a flight later back to london. by analysing my vocal intonation, dr levanon says his algorithm can infer my mood, attitude and personality. you are ambitious, you are curious, a little bit adventurous, and a little bit conservative. it is something in between. ifeel like i'm getting my palm read! 0k! by a sidekick. and the graph is saying, "0h, you are very tired." i am very ti

anyway, back in august, we sent nick kwek to france to meet a man with a mode of transport that we havee to ride until now. and it's not this one. that's right, spen. i've popped down to provence to poke about in a frenchman's garage. we are in our workshop. it's where we do all our research and development. a formerjet ski world champion, franky zapata has been at the forefront of water—powered vehicles for decades. he has been beavering away over the years on several airborne inventions. i started with this prototype in 2011, then we built the real one. two years after, i got the idea of the hover board. and then we got the idea to create the flyboard. it's self—balancing. you just press the trigger, and you fly. but recently, he has developed a penchant for rocket fuel. this bad boy has five jet engines packed tightly together, to blast franky off into the stratosphere. well, maybe not that high, but it can reach a top speed of 110 mph. you have a plan b for everything. you have plan a, plan b and plan c for the electronics, and you have plan a, plan b and plan cfor the engine. and y

but not as cool as nick kwek. better crank that up to 11. this is the embr wave wristband. it acts like your own personal air—conditioning unit, but instead of air, it uses a thermoelectric module like a heater. it gives you regular pulses of heat, which will apparently change your body temperature, up to five degrees. i certainly need it in this baltic environment. ok, so it's not really suitable for such harsh conditions. it's intended more for the sudden temperature changes during the morning commute, or to improve your individual temperature in communal areas. heaven forbid you open a window or put on more clothing. it may be warming up my wrists, but my toes are absolutely freezing. time to get a little warmer, i think. getting a bit too hot now. that's better. the show floor can get really exhausting. i think i need a lie down. wow. that feels a bit strange. there's a motor inside, moving it from side to side, and actually, this was the creation of somebody who had been on a cruise and enjoyed the rocking mo

nick kwek has been to israel to see a similar operation in action. like amazon go, it too offers customers a checkout—free solution but also, interestingly, a quick point of sale station which i will check out. basket‘s getting a bit full. hope i've got enough money for this... similarly to spen, i'm being watched from above but there are no sensors in the shelves, no app to download, and no gates to walk through. the secret sauce here is how the 15 eyes in the sky monitor each and every product. cameras in the ceiling are watching them, me and my basket, so if i do this... ..they automatically add it to my bill. and if i take them out of my basket, my virtual balance is updated accordingly. the standard video cameras live—stream footage to an in—store computer server, where trigo vision's autonomous algorithm deciphers what is going on. it builds up a 3—d scan of the shop and all of its contents, including customers. we take quite a few pictures in a different situation, in the retail space. then we feed that into the system and tell the system this
