Welcome to las vegas this is the communicators. We are on location for the next couple of weeks. We are at the Consumer Electronics show the largest tradeshow in north america. We will show you some of the interviews that we did and some of the latest technology. This is the communicators on cspan. What are some of the product products . And 2018 there is a lot of focus on Artificial Intelligence in many ways. So now google is huge here. Two thirds of the population compared to january 30, 1960. Of course we continued that Movement Towards self driving cars. We know we are getting there. There are more companies involved. We are ahead and smartphones are Getting Better. We have longer battery life, they are doing Different Things. Some are even losing keyboards and things like that. A lot assistant technology occurring. An robotics of course. That is where we continue to grow every year. Robotics and as we get older, we want people to take care of us in the developing world. Many technological solutions. One of the ways that we would be able to take care of our parents and ourselves frankly. We spent a lot of time in the robotics area. It has grown enormously. Of course it will grow. Since i was a kid reading Science Fiction but this has been the future. Robotics are growing not only what they can do but getting personality. Becoming more humanlike, if you will. Right now, where single function, and of awkward like a navigational device. But with Artificial Intelligence, learning is better and better and they will know what we like. One of the other themes that we found here is 5g. Yes certainly the world is going to be 5g. The us has to be part of that. 5g will give you 100 times the speed to download a movie and watch something. Also close to zero latency which is the gap to sending and receiving. Think about how important 5g will be part of the self driving. Life matters. We need redundancy and 5g as part of this. It is also bringing the broadband to rural areas. Because it will not be the most expensive to put into place. It will get a lot of information quickly to people and allow all americans to become part of the developed world. Chryslers policy and regulation that goes to those . The 5g specifically, we have to invest in infrastructure. We have to encourage and quickly do this process. With self driving parked cars, under the obama and the trump administration, it has been a forward momentum. The same vision of a world with the disabled and elderly people empowered and the rate of human error which is now about 94 percent of accuracy. It will go down dramatically. It will save hundreds of thousands of lives and injuries each year. Sometimes you come out it looks like a car show. Certainly this year weve gone about 27 percent. About 300,000 square feet for cars. Vehicle technology. This year as models, we are pushing the possibilities and the future. A lot of infrastructure coming from johnson controls, and we will see what we can do in the future. Where we can go. The entire ecosystem is here and of course the Car Companies themselves are seeing, they have their own visibility, their own concept cars. Technology today is not in a world where you can be a Single Company and do great things. You have to partner with other companies. Everyone is aggressively partnering. Thats we get these leaders from around the world because in four days they can see everyone they need to see and that would take them several months otherwise to go around the world and meet with them. Gary shapiro, is the first mac news is the fcc Net Neutrality rollback. Before we go further want to make sure to get your view on what they did. While tom is a very complex issue. I personally think it was the right thing to do because the sec a couple of years ctaunder the obama administers and gave them enormous power they should not have finished have the power to regulate every device that hooks up to the internet including automobiles. Automobile companies and Technology Companies make stuff here we are concerned about this because we have seen dependent with a Political Party is controlling the sec, they can totally block innovation. I was part of the voluntary principles he worked so well for 18 years and we went around the sec and the broadband care is provided, they agreed to provide in the companies everyone was happy. It worked great. The truth is, the different sides are not far apart. Republicans and democrats and broadband providers and internet broadband using companies, they agree on Net Neutrality. It is communication thats wrong. And i think there is also agreement that america that what we need is competition. It has 100 Different Companies providing telecommunications. Prices are a lot lower than us and speed is better than ours. Why is it . Competition. We dont have that competition. We have verizon but we need as much competition as possible. Consumers, if theres any harm if they could change a company is not a problem. Or even without that competition, what could happen today is that the fcc could step in and congress to step in immediately. We can do it with or without the decision. It is not going to go away. The problem i have had with this is both sides have exaggerated so badly what will happen and concerned consumers that we are in a position now where there is people that have such malicious intent. The present chair of the fcc, his getting threats and kids are being bothered. He is doing what he thinks is right with substance behind him and a lot of good people disagreeing about sides. We have extremes on this issue and a reflection of a very bad direction that i believe the country should not be going in. What does it take to put on a show like this . We plan so far ahead and we tried to focus on trade that we see in the future and we aggressively reach out to have our own partners so we can see with the technologies going. We also block out space in las vegas for the next 20 years. We market around the world. We have a fulltime team of people aggressively around the world. We have media from around the world, 60,000 people come from outside of the united states. Its important for us in the us and the las vegas economy. It is important to invest in a global basis with Global Marketing to be here and make this a great efficient experience so the average people at times he has over 32 meetings and is very efficient in what they do. Ces takes over the city and this is a city used to having a lot of people. Las vegas has more wheeze everything we possibly can. We are thrilled that we just broke ground this week on a brandnew Convention Center that is supposed to launch in 2020. We would very much look forward to that. With uninterrupted power and it will be stateoftheart facilities. It will have entertainment, a workforce around las vegas is the only major city where you only 15 minutes away from everywhere. This is the best Convention City in the world, bar none. How many square feet does it take up . We count by the amount of space exhibited by. It is close to 5 million square feet. The truth is, you can have a team of five people and those five people even if they split up will not see the entire show. The car show alone i think about half the size of vatican city. Gary shapiro, Something Else you do out here i ran a couple of books. I think that opportunity speaks to other people as well. And we identify a number of authors based on dozens that apply and having relative things to say. I just finished an interview with john grisham, the bestselling author. He wrote about a new Technology Ultrasound technology. Anyway, it actually has 100 Different Things for brain tumors, prostate cancer. Outpatient based. No chemo, no surgery and it is not intrusive. When you can drive in yourself and drive out three hours later. Gary shapiro, president and ceo of the Consumer Technology association. Which owns and sponsors ces. Thank you. [music]. [music] now we want to introduce you to frank from intel corporation. What is your title at intel . My name is frank and im the general manager for Virtual Reality. And we work with other parts of the organization for the data center, how big a component is vr . I see this as a once in 20 years that will impact probably everything. Think about how interactive it will be. You need an amazing amount of detail and be able to build on that. We are heading on graphics. It is an amazing opportunity. And it is a once in a 20 year evolution. Way back when we didnt even have a user interface, and has transformed everything. Think of it this way. Part of this is an evolution of what we have today. We use design. This is trying to make 3d models. It takes us to the next level and say that we are designing and now i can see that i am in virtuality experience i can collaborate with you and then is not the way people are to operate. If you build something and youre building an engine or Something Else youre collaborating with someone else. We are bringing that to the next level. Thats just one example. And then i like to think of vr as an element of [inaudible] you can see the nfl player from any angle to what you want to see it. Not from a single camera angle. We are seeing that. And you can participate in the game for many point that you want. They can see the game from any angle. Virtuality is giving us the ability to work in a way that what component of vr we are on the physics side of things. There are several pieces and there are other elements. You have to demonstrate the ability was that we just had an electrical blowout here. With all of the electricity going on. I am not surprised [inaudible] graphics play a very important role. We have been working closely with microsoft so that our graphics have a proposition instead of entry level. In the next integration graphics keep Getting Better and better. In a year or two time, we can be done within a integrative graphics. We will not lose detail. We are working where you can see art at the smithsonian institute. You can go from art exhibits quickly. But i want to see the detail. This helps you do that. And the pc based technology. There is a single wire technology. I dont want three wires i just want one highspeed wire. I cannot think of is the cloud transformational when it comes to vr and how important is this . You cannot ignore the efficiency. The large data system, everything needs to be enabled. It is a dissertation about you do not need it but you do. There is a situation [inaudible] really what you need so many graphics . Because the workloads keep getting heavier and heavier. We need to balance the elements. My hypothesis on the vr, it has to be very little latency. People get motion sick and you need the quality of service behind it. So what is happening in the cloud, getting to the pc telephone, imagination at the services there. Then on top of all that you want a layer of security. Because some of these are collaborative experiences. Like in Automotive Design or i want an entertainment concept. So we have to be on that. This will be important in 5g. Weve all had glasses on and we have seen vr happening. But intel has a big yes. What is in there . That is a vr tent. In a way, it is autonomous driving. We are thinking now what does vr bring to things like autonomous driving . Think of your car is another environment that you will travel in and out of. Let me hypothesize for you on augmented and Virtual Reality. I think the ar npr words, we will get to the point where we are wearing Something Like my glasses back have augmented reality. And then we can completely be i can do from outside of my building. Autonomously i can afford to be in other experiences. As well as my home or office. These are the things that we are thinking about and working on. Was a difference between virtual and augmented reality . Next to give augmented as i am seeing you and then seeing things that are fake. Still seeing the real world around me. The benefit that would be my ability to walk around because i am not included. On vr, i go into something. Im not seeing the real world. But even there are exceptions there. There things that let me detect the real world around me to bring objects in. Ar is seethrough, vr is i am immersed in it. How did you get into this . I got into this a long time ago. This particular business, Virtual Reality, i think it is a natural extension. I like to focus on things that are on the cusp of happening. I am always interested in what is evolving and what has a ton of potential. I like seeing technology but i also like seeing the benefit that it brings. I always look for opportunities like that. The way i got here is the journey through communication, workstation, data center. Gaming kinda brought me here. I was concentrating on gaming and then vr. I love things with tons of potential. They do more than just entertain. The smithsonian is one. Theater, being able to do surgery with Better Outcomes with people do not need chemotherapy because what you can do. It gets me excited. That journey. A Computer Science background . I have an electronic degree and digital design. And i ended up starting at intel doing telecom design. It wasnt even my thing but remember, i look for areas where it pushes my limits. Even 36 years ago in communications. Because of the opportunities i loved the most. When you hire folks to look at gamers . You know, we absolutely do. Were looking for people with diversity from gaming, some sports, some in the media side, some on the tech side. We look for people with business development. People have a Strong Development angle. The same way i described virtuality. It is not about one specific element. To get into this business you have to be able to understand gaming, business opportunity. Marketing, business sense. And an architect takes a lot of really good expertise to bring this to fruition. Frank soqui, thank you for your time. Thank you, i appreciate it. [inaudible] [inaudible] [music] now on the communicators want to introduce you to i am the Research Division at the department of commerce and boulder colorado. That is the National Institute of standards and technology. Why are you here at the ces show . A division im in charge of and boulder is focused on looking at the next generation of First Responder communications. And we are really looking at what is Public Safety, want to be in the future . Police, ems officials to take the next leap and take advantage of Broadband Communications and whats coming next for commercial users. What we are doing here is, we have a number of opportunities to outreach for industry and academia. Through Grant Programs and challenges to involve them in solving Public Safety challenges. And communications. We are here at ces because there are a number of companies with interesting concepts and technology that have no idea how they might apply to Public Safety needs. We want to get them interested in helping solve the challenges and problems of our First Responders. We just showed a little display you have here. Why do you have his equipment here . This equipment really show some of the challenges. People dont understand the challenges for communications for Public Safety. When at the put these on their very difficult to work in. A daytoday fire ensemble, think about wearing all of that equipment and trying to interact with a smart phone or a map. You cannot give a firefighter a smart phone and say you love this new mapping technology, you will love it. They can see it or touch it because they have gloves. So we think what can the next responder have . Will they have displays, voice communication without having to touch anything . Is there feedback within their suit . There are a lot of companies around ces addressing these in different ways for commercial purposes. We want to bring those ideas and the experts in to address this with Public Safety. What kind of interactions we have this year . Ive been doing this for 15 years. This is a second year to have a booth at ces. My third year to be at ces. But i have been doing the job for 15 years. This is the best interaction with companies we would otherwise never have interaction with that i have ever had in my 15 years in the job. It has been phenomenal almost nonstop. Yes they almost lost my voice because we had so many people to talk to. It has just been fantastic what is one idea that has come out of this . I was a one of the most important things i walked away from three years ago, it was really that year where Virtual Reality really jumped off the shelves of future tech and became a commercial product that people would buy. I walked away from ces and i literally thought how can we use Virtual Reality to create new test environments for Public Safety in which we can really envision the future, devices and have displays without them having to exist. On the other side of the booth we actually have a prototype of a Virtual Reality system. Walk is over. A Virtual Reality system release create realistic Public Safety scenarios, have tasks to be performed and given publix into the ability to dodge those en
