Are you sure we shouldnt be there already . Trust me, were going to get there on time. But dundees 500 miles away. The trains going to take hours, even a flights going to take too long. There is no way. Seriously, i had a word with a guy, he knows a guy and he said theres a shortcut. All we need to do is use this. You need to get out more. We just need to press start. Goodness, spencer, are you 0k . Yeah, just, just, just go with it. Go with what . What the . Right, follow me. Ok, this is weird. Come on. Are you sure this is the most direct route . Pretty sure, yeah. Can we at least stop and ask for directions . No need, ive got a map, itll be fine. Over here. Er. Um. 0h. Oh, you had it upside down, didnt you . Little bit, yeah. Ok, this is more like it. Dundee, we should only be a couple of blocks away now. Blocks. Nice, i see what you did there. Yep, there it is. V a dundee. Here we come announcer from v a dundee, this bbc click live. Please welcome your hosts, Lara Lewington and spencer kelly. Yes, its that time of year again where we leave the comfort of the click offices and go live to the world, or at least to a crowd of very eager tech fans. V a dundee was the spectacular location for a show that took in everything from Artificial Intelligence to facial recognition. The museum not only celebrates the past but also looks to the future. Most peoples idea of robots are shaped by the robots they see in science so in a film or tv or video games or music. But robots are a bit more real than what we think. So most children now will now grow up with siri or alexa or some kind of smart helper in their life and i think in the future thats just going to increase. Were going to have more robotic helpers helping our children and helping us and increasingly more and more in an everyday basis. Currently on display is the exhibition design between human and machine. So rather than robots coming in and replacing us and replacing our jobs, i think the future is a bit more of an optimistic one. Weve got an amazing Structure Commission thats being specially built here for v a dundee and this is all by the idea of humans and robots collaborating together to create something amazing and wonderful and i think thats a bit more what the future will be like, so, slightly less pessimistic than what we imagine. In recent years, dundee has become something of a digital powerhouse. Its synonymous with video games like lemmings, grand theft auto and yes, minecraft. Dundee has the honour, we believe, of being the city in the world with the highest per capita volume of games developers. Thats come around for a number of reasons. It started off back in the 1980s, there was a lot of us programming away on sinclair spectrums that happened to be made in the city, so you could always pick one up ex factory when they went slightly wrong for less than they cost in the shops. Some amazing video games came out of the city at that point and that gave a lot of us the inspiration to set our own companies up. The worlds first video games degree was offered here by Abertay University all the way back in 1997, so we thought wed check out some of their more recent work. All in the name of social interaction, of course. Why is Abertay University so hot on gaming . At abertay, all the staff have either previously made video games or we currently make video games and we are all part of a research lab called Abertay Game Lab that make really fun, experimental games that push the boundaries of Computer Gaming in different ways. So youve got some other students playing some other of your games over there. That game was created by dr mona bozdog who sloped on with lara. Now, mona, there are a lot of different games here, all telling interesting, different stories. Can you tell me a bit about what youve created here. Yes, so, the game you see is called assembly. Were all in dundee and the year is 1981 and theres thousands of women in the timex factory assembling the first ever computers, so the zx81 and the zx spectrum. These computers changed the face of games. Thats basically a recreation of the assembly line. So we have the women workers trying to assemble the Zx Spectrum Computers from populating the boards to actually packaging and shipping the zx spectrums. This is a actually a bit of social history here as well, isnt it . Yes, it is. It is what we usually call herstories. Because theyre the alternative histories, theyre the Hidden Figures of the video Games Industry and the video games history, and it was the women who assembled, they were tremendously skilled and they basically brought us the first computers. Robotic voice speaking. At. Professor Annalu Waller has dedicated 30 years of her life to researching technologies to improve communication for those who have difficulty speaking. Its very much like the predictive text on your phone, but, as we saw when we invited her onto the stage. Robotic voice words. It can be a very slow process. Actually telling a story in real time is laborious, time consuming. A lot of our focussed communication aids only type 8 10 words a minute. How on earth do you conduct a real conversation in that speed . Annalus team, in partnership with cambridge university, has created a new system that remembers what youve typed before and offers up whole sentence chunks in one go. Its hard to find whole sentences to use as i speak. So, as humans we always tell stories. So what im telling you now, ive told many people before. And this is where it gets even more clever. A Body Worn Camera observes where annalu is and who shes speaking to. It can then suggest sentences that are relevant to that situation. So, this is the Computer Vision brain behind our system. The camera ive got in my right hand here is the one the person wears around their neck, so the camera can see what they can see. And it can see the person, they are speaking to, so at the moment it sees me. And you can see on the screen it picks out my face to identify whether im a known person, whether im a friend, and if it knows me, who i am. It takes a guess from the whole environment it can see to say where are we . Are we in a cafe, at work . And this information we then use to predict the right sentences i might want to say in this environment with this communication partner. The more annalu uses it, the more it learns and the faster the system becomes. And the system might think were in a museum, im talking to a person ive never met before. That might be an opportunity to talk about my work, so it will bring up sentences ive used before to talk about my work so i can access them timely. Stories are really important because they provide the fundamental essence of being human. We are our stories. We are all very talkative people. Laughter i mean i know people who repeat themselves over and over again. We all do laughter i mean i know people who repeat themselves over and over again. Laughter we all do laughter and applause back inside, and a click live show wouldnt be a click live show without waving, and generally getting a bit overexcited. All that remains is to thank everyone who turned up to see us live and of course you at home for watching. From all of us here at click, we hope you have a very happy new year. Go, go, go yes, yes, yes hello. A lot of us got stuck with cloud today. Grey and murky scenes in 0xfordshire. Some got to see a little bit of brightness, this was the end of the day in leeds, a glimpse of the sunset. Into tomorrow, some milder weather continuing. Milder than today across the northern half of the uk, at the same time im hopeful we will see some drier air from the near continent which should break up some of the cloud and give us a little bit more in the way of brightness but still a lot of cloud out there through tonight, still some outbreaks of rain across the north and west of scotland where it will be breezy. Skies tending to clear for Northern Ireland in for Northern Ireland and northeast scotland, there may be some breaks into the southeast as well, a fairly cool night across eastern england. For the vast majority it is mild and a mild start tomorrow, there could be the spot of drizzle for the hills but towards the midlands and east anglia and the southeast, it should brighten up into the afternoon, a similar study a similar story for northeast england, some brightness for northeast ireland and eastern scotland, still some rain in the northwest of scotland. The mild today for all but with the southwesterly wind a mild today for all but with the southwesterly wind running over high ground and down the other side, the north coast of Northern Ireland and northeast coast of scotland could see temperatures of up to 111 15 celsius, exceptional for this time of year. Into monday, this frontal system is around the northwest which will bring outbreaks of rain across scotland and Northern Ireland as the day wears on. For england and wales, predominantly dry with a decent amount of sunshine and the mildest weather at this point will be squashed down towards the south, 12 or 13 celsius. Cooler in Northern Areas and for tuesday as the frontal system slides southwards, all of us get into some cooler air with drizzle for the southwest of england. Otherwise its mainly fine but for the majority, temperatures back into Single Digits and then we get into the evening, the end of 2019. If you are out celebrating its going to be largely dry but as you can see, some fog patches are likely to form through the night and it will be rather chilly but it should be mostly fine out there for new years eve. This is bbc news. The headlines at 8 recognised in the new year honours list, but the Cabinet Office apologises, after the home addresses of more than a thousand recipients were accidentally published online. One of the recipients was taekwondo world and double olympic champion jadejones who was upgraded from an mbe to an obe. I putly life into the sport and to be recognised at the highest level and to go to the palace to receive and to go to the palace to receive an honour is just amazing.
