Good morning and welcome to your world of news with me, | 0:00:04 | 0:00:07 | |
Hayley. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:09 | |
Find out about the donut you can eat that's made from real gold. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:13 | |
And I'm in Las Vegas at one of the biggest tech shows | 0:00:13 | 0:00:16 | |
in the world, checking out the future of gaming. | 0:00:16 | 0:00:20 | |
But first, is virtual reality the future of gaming? | 0:00:32 | 0:00:35 | |
Well, some of the world's biggest tech companies think so. | 0:00:35 | 0:00:38 | |
They've just unveiled their latest headsets which they think | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
will change the way you play. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
Ricky got to test drive them at the world's biggest gadget show | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
in Las Vegas. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:48 | |
Every year, thousands of tech fans fly to the US for a chance to see | 0:00:50 | 0:00:54 | |
loads of new cool gadgets before they hit the shops - | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
from the biggest TVs to these rather unusual smart chairs. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:03 | |
But this year, everyone's talking about these things. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:07 | |
Sony, Oculus and HTC are all releasing virtual reality headsets. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:11 | |
We've seen earlier versions of these products over the last couple | 0:01:11 | 0:01:14 | |
of years, but 2016 really does seem to be the year when these things | 0:01:14 | 0:01:17 | |
become a reality. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
Right now, I'm actually underwater. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:24 | |
Wow, there's a stingray just coming close to me there. | 0:01:24 | 0:01:29 | |
I think I'm on a shipwreck. | 0:01:29 | 0:01:31 | |
Virtual reality can be anything. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:33 | |
You just went underwater, for example, but you could also go | 0:01:33 | 0:01:36 | |
to space, you could go anywhere. | 0:01:36 | 0:01:37 | |
But only now is the technology ready to deliver that amazing experience, | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
like the one you just had when you were underwater. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:46 | |
This is the Oculus Rift. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:48 | |
People are queueing to have a go at this for two hours today. | 0:01:48 | 0:01:52 | |
It's proved very popular. | 0:01:52 | 0:01:54 | |
The people who make this have announced that it will be | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
released later this year. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
But it's going to cost around ?400. | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
That's a lot of money, and you do need a really | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
high-powered PC for this to work properly. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
OK? | 0:02:12 | 0:02:14 | |
You've got loads of different accessories to go with the virtual | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
reality headsets, too. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
From gloves to this bit of kit, which really puts you into the game. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
As you run around in this kit, you're actually running around | 0:02:28 | 0:02:31 | |
in the video game so you're actually becoming part of the character. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
But the only downside is that it is quite big and again, | 0:02:35 | 0:02:38 | |
of course, it is quite expensive. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:39 | |
I can't imagine having one of these in my bedroom. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
Technology has evolved and for the first time can actually | 0:02:43 | 0:02:47 | |
move in a virtual environment. | 0:02:47 | 0:02:52 | |
Sony PlayStation's headset is also on the way. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
And for something a bit cheaper, the Samsung Gear VR works by simply | 0:02:54 | 0:02:57 | |
slipping a smartphone into the front. | 0:02:57 | 0:02:59 | |
And guys, make sure you come back tomorrow - | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
we'll be looking at the world of drones and robots. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Next, tens of thousands of people have been tuning in online to watch | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
a live stream of a puddle. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
A man working in an office near a big puddle got | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
so into the way people were trying to cross it | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
without getting their feet wet that he started streaming it online. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:24 | |
Around 20,000 people were watching within hours to see some | 0:03:24 | 0:03:27 | |
of the unusual attempts. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
And if you're gripped by the puddle like all those other people, | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
get to the Newsround website to see more! | 0:03:33 | 0:03:36 | |
I know we've only just got back from our Christmas break, | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
but for some people we're already thinking about school exams - | 0:03:39 | 0:03:41 | |
as their timings could be about to change. | 0:03:41 | 0:03:50 | |
That's | 0:03:50 | 0:03:50 | |
That's in | 0:03:50 | 0:03:50 | |
That's in England, | 0:03:50 | 0:03:51 | |
That's in England, Wales | 0:03:51 | 0:03:51 | |
That's in England, Wales and | 0:03:51 | 0:03:51 | |
That's in England, Wales and Northern | 0:03:51 | 0:03:51 | |
That's in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. | 0:03:51 | 0:03:52 | |
That's in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
It's all because of Ramadan. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:55 | |
That's the month when Muslims eat nothing while it is daylight. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Many teachers have said they're worried that Muslim pupils cannot | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
concentrate on exams when they are unable to eat. | 0:04:00 | 0:04:02 | |
So the timetable for GCSEs and A-levels has changed so that | 0:04:02 | 0:04:05 | |
some pupils can sit their exams earlier in the year. | 0:04:05 | 0:04:07 | |
Prince George has had his first day at nursery and two pictures | 0:04:07 | 0:04:10 | |
were released to mark the occasion. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:12 | |
They were taken by his mum, the Duchess of Cambridge, | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
rather than a royal photographer. | 0:04:15 | 0:04:21 | |
Everton have celebrated a 2-1 win over Manchester City in the first | 0:04:21 | 0:04:24 | |
leg of their League Cup semifinal. | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
They scored their first goal at the end of the first half, | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
then Jesus Navas scored an equaliser to bring City level. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:32 | |
Just two minutes later, Everton scored their second goal | 0:04:32 | 0:04:34 | |
to secure the win. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Now to a very expensive donut. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:39 | |
It comes complete with champagne icing, a mousse filling | 0:04:39 | 0:04:42 | |
and a sprinkling of real 24-carat gold flakes. | 0:04:42 | 0:04:45 | |
It's on sale in New York for $100 - around ?68. | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
I'd better start saving! | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
That's all from me. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:52 | |
Newsround's back right here in about half an hour. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 |
