Irans admission that it accidentally shot down a ukrainian airliner, killing all on board, has prompted angry protests on the streets of the capital, tehran. Some demonstrators are calling for the countrys Supreme Leader to step down. President trump has expressed his support for the protestors. Air accident experts have flown from canada to iran to help in the investigation into the crash, in which 57 canadians died. Prime minister trudeau has demanded a full and complete inquiry and says many more steps need to be taken. In total, 176 people were killed. The queen is to host crisis talks with princes charles, william and harry at sandringham on monday. It is in the wake of a decision by harry and meghan to step back from their prominent roles in the royal family. The summit is expected to look at a range of possibilities. Now its time for click. Its 2020. Were in las vegas and that can only mean one thing. Welcome to ces. Welcome to the biggest tech show on earth. Are you ces ready . Featuring 180,000 people. From 160 countries, with 4,000 companies,
and one pizza making robot. Its ces goodness, he sounded excited didnt he . So he should. Yeah absolutely, it is exciting. We only got ourselves out of the blooming studio this year overlooking the actual show. Thats ces just over there, hello oh yeah it is quite something and we have for you the latest announcements from here as well as getting our hands on some of the most exciting looking gadgets that have made their way to las vegas. In fact, spencer, youve been in the water with one of them, havent you . Certainly have, yes. Theres water in las vegas and here it is. This is Lake Las Vegas, an oasis in the desert. This is stacey and this is the hydrofoiler xe1,
its an electric bike that you peddle on the water. Of course it is. As you pedal, the electric motor turns the propeller which pulls you forward and the hydrofoils underneath act like aircraft wings and lift the whole caboodle out of the water. It is the same sort of thing you may have seen on racing units. It looks manageable doesnt it . How hard can it be really . And as long as you peddle hard enough at the start, you can get lift you need and are sailing they said, you want to go for a bike ride in las vegas . And i said yeah, why not . They also said, do you want to go for a trip on Lake Las Vegas . And i realised they meant at the same time. Bleep. And here is the problem. Until you get the hang of it, theres quite a bit of this. And this. Oh dear, oh no, no. The trick, apparently, is if you feel the bike starting to over balance, steer into the tilt but lean the other way. And when that doesnt work, try not to swear on camera. I was hoping to show you more of my successful rides but youve already seen all of them. Before the winter water temperatures got the better of me. So please watch stacey being too cool for school while i tell you that experienced riders can get up to 13 miles an hour and the battery gives you an hour of ride time and the price is nearly 7,500. So if you buy one, find some warmer water and practice, practice, practice. She makes it look so easy. I nearly had it, i swear i nearly had it. Ijust need a couple more goes but right now, im absolutely frozen. That looked difficult. How was it . It was difficult and cold and wet. And cold. But heres the thing right, if you go out there, everyone will tell you that their thing is amazing and spoiler alert. Its not so we want to test as much as is humanly possible and someone who has tested more than is humanly possible if you ask me is lara. Ive tried and some of the things i found most exciting this year have been for the smart home. Here are a few of my top picks. There are always plenty of smart home devices at ces but some of them are a bit more creative than others. It is called wheelme and the idea is that you can summon your furniture using your voice or an app to do so remotely. Naturally, we figured that we could have some fun with this so if you are trying it all round the house, this is all thanks to some smart coasters that are under here. Wheelme are currently a prototype stage and they are eventually going to be miniaturised to around 25 millimetres but right now, ive got what i need just here in front of me. I going to take that, that, these and it is time to do a spot of cooking. Lets get started. Where is that smart bin . It automatically opens and you can
pop your rubbish inside. The sensor inside will be able to tell when its full so it can automatically seal the bags or you can do it manually like this. Now i can take out the sealed bag and once i close this, the new bag will move into place by itself. It will keep doing this until youve used up all 25 bags that are in the cylinder. I felt like this was a little small for a kitchen but the company is working on a larger version too. 0k, illjust leave that to cook for a moment. Oh no, ive spilt some coffee. Luckily, weve got a robotic vacuum to hand. What a coincidence. Narwhal has already mapped the room, so it is now time to mop the room. You can set it up with a choice of different programmes to use and in the future, it will actually be to do just spot cleaning. Whilst it does have a seriously hefty price tag, what makes this
device difference to similar ones is its ability to self clean. Once its made its way back to its base station, there is once section of clean water and another section that will become dirty water after those mops have been washed. It will need to do that after every 30 square metres of cleaning so that really is a fair bit. That is quite a lot of goes around the kitchen. That looks ready but i could do with actually taking this to the show floor. Luckily, ive got this lunch box which actually heats up. Heatbox uses Steam Technology to heat the food inside. This section here is where the food goes. It is sealed with this bit of rubber to stop either the food leaking out of the bag or any of the water seeping into the food. The makers have considered the fact that this may not be enough food for some people and that is why these removable trays are easy to just stack up. You can have a few of them and just keep swapping them in to warm up
all the food. 0k, theres lunch. I shall warm that up again when i get there. Time to head back to the show floor. I brought some lunch. This was all pretty easy. All i needed to do was put a spot of water underneath the food and then in ten minutes, it was piping hot. Lovely. Oh sorry, i didnt actually make you any. Charming. There is a pizza making robot here apparently, it cost 300 an hour, or as i call it, just about enough. Tell you what lets look at some of the really big announcements from this weeks show. Is that alright . Not bad. Ces loves a new tv but the challenge has often been persuading the rest of us that we actually need them. Samsung went big on 8k qled displays, also embracing ai to upscale lower res content. The edges on this tv are so thin, it is being described as almost. In fact, 99 of what youre looking at there is just screen. But if youre struggling to understand why anybody would actually cares that the frame is just a little bit smaller, then at least this one has something very different about it. Samsung sero not only works horizontally like a normal tv but also vertically. Take a look at this. It may be only 4k but it will mirror your phone and is being considered a future concept based on our changing habits and how we consume media. Still a limited amount of content in the shape though. Still seems better the old way. Meanwhile, lg display was suggesting a more uses for its transparent and flexible 0led screens. In an aircraft for example, in a car and in the living room. Here is the follow up to the roll up tv we saw two years ago. This one rolls down. What will they think of next . Interestingly, the original roll up once it will go on sale later this year for 60,000. The pitch is that if you have a really small living room, you can maximise the space by rolling the screen out of the way. Although if youre paying 60,000 for a screen, i suspect you dont have a small living room. Better known for their consoles than their cars, sony unexpectedly unveiled an electric concept car. The vision s features 33 different advanced sensors, multiple widescreen displays and immersive 360 audio. Dont expect one to be whizzing down
any road with one anytime soon though, as the japanese giant hasnt revealed plans to sell the car to the public. Back to samsung which unveiled its new beeping robot assistant called bawl e. It is a small robot that follows you around and can act as your personal trainer, and apparently captures special moments with its camera. It can also take chores off your hand by controlling smart appliances. Cant follow you up the stairs though. Theres been competition here at ces to see who can unveil the wackiest robot. And chinese firm poodo tech showed off a cat faced waiter for ferrying around meals in busy restaurants. The robot makes a soft meow when it reaches its hungry customers and will even react to petting. But petting for too long though and it will get annoyed at you for distracting it from itsjob. And finally, from the company that developed the vegetarian burger that bleeds, impossible foods has created a pork substitute. It is made from a substance called heme, which is a molecule found in some plants and meat. Made in a lab that gives a texture that resembles actual meat, the Company Hopes it help break into pork loving china. The first product to feature the new food, the impossible sausage, is launching in the us this week. Yes one of the hottest areas over the last few years has been streaming with loads of new services joining netflix in the battle for eyeballs. Here at ces, a pretty new idea has been unveiled. Quibi is a streaming service specifically for mobiles. It is going to be a Subscription ServiceOffering High production value films presented in bite size ten minute chunks to be watched on the go. But most interestingly, each film will be full screen, no matter which way up
you hold your phone and no matter when you switch between orientations. And instead of getting a compromised, cropped view when watching portrait mode, you get different shots specifically chosen by the direct, that work in that orientation. Each quibi film is basically to make films running in parallel with the ability to switch between them at any moment. This was the main aim of the founders meg whitman and ex disney chairman and dreamworks founder, jeffrey katzenberg. We knew for our use case that people are on the go. We think our use case is 7am to 7pm at night. Maybe get on the bus and are holding your phone in portrait and you want to watch something in landscape and you get off and then you want to. We knew we had to go seamlessly from portrait to landscape and we wanted to be full screen video because a lot of video on your phone isnt full screen video today it hasnt been shot with the right aspect ratio. So we got together and we said,
weve got to shoot this content differently. We got to shoot the film a little differently but then we have to render it and we have to be able to do this portrait to landscape transition without taking down tremendous Battery Power or tremendous bandwidth. And so there was a technical challenge and a challenge around how the film was going to be shot. It is a little bit of the magic ofjeffrey and i coming together to found this company because, he knows the creative side and i know the tech side and we were able to do something that no one has done before. Apparently youre filming a lot in 8k, and thats how you can get good resolution portrait cropped footage. That is really expensive isnt it . Well, we didnt set out here to cut corners. We set out here to deliver people something thats unlike anything theyve ever seen before, and that has a price tag about it. You know, its not User Generated Content which we admire its great, its made for pennies or dollars a minute were making content for 100,000 a minute and, yes, its expensive
but that is worth paying for, we think. Hello . Hey there the ability to show different shots depending on which way the phone is orientated is taken even further in the short film nest, where watching in landscape shows a normal cinematic film but switching to portrait shows what the main character can see on her phone screen instead. You know what . Ill come back. You have a good one. I mean, there is only so many streaming services that anyone is going to be able to pay for. Thats got to be a consideration. Ultimately on a mega thing, its like, yes, we cant all afford to have every single thing that we want, so in that regard, you are right. At the macro level or the 50,000 feet down, yes, we are competing for peoples entertainment. Entertainment dollars, broadly speaking, i think. Yeah, but at 4. 99, we think were awfully affordable and differentiated from what anybody else is doing. 4,99, very expensive production values are you going to make money anytime . We see a day where we will become profitable in the not too distant future, and then we will have a decision to make. If the thing is growing like crazy, do we invest more in content and marketing . But i will tell you that we are really responsible from a financial perspective and we created a Business Plan that our seven investors underwrote because we told them what the runway looked like. To profitability. This is not one of those things where we said lets build an audience and well figure out if we can make money. Were two old dogs. Weve run businesses, weve been Public Company ceos. Day one, this has got a very clear path to profitability, reasonably early. Of course, its notjust streamers who are trying to get our attention. Advertisers are in a constant battle and its getting increasingly hard for them, so ive been looking at a company that uses computer
vision and al to put ads in the footage that we are already watching, after it has been made. Ding in our fast paced world of growing impatience, who want to sit there an advert . So, could this be the solution . Right here beside me is a blank wall. But that is easy enough to change. Miraid hopes so, as its using ai to buy the right spots for the right advertising in the content we are already watching. Im sending video footage weve created and from there, the a can select where in the image the advert should be placed. Introduces on the continent, that iunventorey s done by the ai. We have a skilled team that posed analysis, then places that brand in and the machine will struggle to learn to, for example, if there is a scene where there is a car crash, it wouldnt want a car brand in there. It depends on the type of content so if youre using a soap opera, where the context and the scenes are quite repetitive, you are from a cafe to a pub, to a street, you will find we can identify something, it is to be continuous. You cant have it in one scene and not in the other, so its useful for that. To identify and replace that inhabit continuous through the scene. I thought that i was quite interesting obseration from the ai. In the background, its a relative and obvious
place to put something, but you might not identified that and have said, that space is in the background and cover the window. 0ne one thing one thing i quite like is Walking Around and finding weird things. Do you know what that is . Some strange headphones . They are not. If they are the shoe blast. If you have smelly shoes. If you have smelly shoes, this works. Can i borrow some shoes to demonstrate . I think yours are more appropriate. Trust me, i smelled yours. Why are you smaller all of a sudden . I hide behind my shoes. Heres the round up of all the crazy stuff around. Hello. You caught me getting attached. A tatou. You just got me getting attached to. They say what happens in vegas stays in vegas. These tattoos will. They will wash right off. You can choose what you want. Im going to get this little fox. And there we are branded for life, or until i shower. This is like to read. Now, check this out. This is light thread. It is made of micro leds and it fits through the eye of a needle. It was in a glass case but i convinced the company to let me poke it for a few seconds to show you how small it is. There is no plans to put this in any clothes at the moment, so i have challenged them to do that for next ces. I have stopped for a gaming break to play with vortex. Its basically a little fan in a box that blasts you with hot or cold air to make your gaming more immersive. Look mum, no keys this is a selfie type concept from samsung. Instead of typing on a tiny
smartphone screen, you can use your Selfie Camera and touch type on the table in front of you and the camera recognises the letters that you are trying to type in your head, and its weird because i have been playing Training Mode ive had a few minutes to try it and i really got some speed up. It does work. I know its the wrong month for a Christmas Tree but i wanted to show you these lights which can make co ordinated patterns. And it can do that because, using your phone, you very quickly can map the location of each individual led. And that means you can also draw custom patterns on a Christmas Tree. Its about 300 for a string of 600 ledsm so this tree is worth 2,000. This is the ulitracer you can clip in your bike and control video games. I can even lean side to side and steer and the Company Promises me i will never fall off. The faster you go, the more bullets you shoot. I want to be able to link these together so that i can play mario cart with friends. Time for summer smartphone prototypes. If you want to change your smartphone into a folding phone, perhaps this device from pocket monitors can help. It isa it is a clip on destroyed display. It turns your existing phone into a 3 way folding phone, sort of. Wa nt to want to go completely different . Have around smartphone. It lets you send round calls and round messages, but you cant take a round selfie yet. It does not onlyjust have one headphone jack, but two. You can
listen to music with friends. This machine makes cupcakes and cookies. Its is from argentina. I open these pods and squeeze the dough into these little cooking trays and then into the machine they go. Its going to take about five minutes to cook so lets do a time lapse or something. It is time for the taste test. Here we go. Thats good roderigo, that is good. That is good. It will be rude if i didnt stay here and make absolutely sure they all taste as good. I will see you in a bit. 0h but is chris foxs round up. Thats it from us from ces at least for this week. There are more Amazing Things to come next week. In the meantime, you know where we are. Dont you, yes . Facebook, instagram, youtube and twitter. bbcclick. Thank you so much for watch
