09/01/2016 Click - Short Edition

And it's a happy New Year from everybody here out Click. 2016 can

now properly get started, now that I've finally got my new smart

umbrella. Yes, it is an umbrella with a chip in it which measures the

weather where you are, and then tells everyone else by uploading

that information to a website. It also pings your smart phone if you

walk off without it. This is where technology goes large, the annual

Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It is everywhere. Big, isn't

it? This is a serious affair. Where else could you be woken up not by a

sound, but by a smell? This is an olfactory alarm clock. It claims to

rouse you within two minutes by blowing air through a cartridge.

Choose from a variety of events, including toast, chocolate, coffee,

mint, grass, and... -- scents. Holidays? It kind of smelt like some

cream. What about the smell of money? Distanced by an ATM using

iris recognition technology. This is a company advancing biometrics into

areas including unlocking your car. This seems like a decent concept,

adapting the driving experience depending on who has been identified

as driving the car. I don't know about you, but I am fed up with

this. Let's head to the show floor. These augmented reality glasses have

a lens which projects images in front of the where a's vision. When

I put them on, I can see an image which looks like it is a couple of

feet in front of me, but I can still see the real world. They are totally

self-contained as a computing device. And they have the power of a

tablet to navigate software. We also have this control at which reacts to

gestures and bottoms. They will be used for tasks such as reading

websites and playing games. There is a lot of potential for people who

want to view 3-D models -- controller. One of the big trends of

this year is 3-D printing. It is amazing how far the personalisation

of products has come along. I entire outfit was made on a 3-D printer. It

was made on a very small printer using one kilogram of filament. It

took 70 hours to make. In 2016, virtual reality headsets were

launched frequently. If you want to record footage to what she knows,

you need specialised 360 degrees camera devices. That is what this

is. It captures video in the -- in surroundings is in the three lenses.

You can see two hotels, as well as Nick on the camera. Crucially, it

stitches together all of the images it shoots itself, so everything is

immediately viewable in 360 degree sites such as YouTube. Once again,

wearable technology is there a big team. This smart fitness watch was

just one launch. They hope it will take on the likes of the apple and

android watchers. It provides notification alerts and allows you

to control your music. It also has interchangeable straps. At $200, it

is less costly than most smart watchers. Like many devices, its

main focus is on fitness. It can track your heart rate, sleep and

workouts, and automatically detect a range of activities. With

competition getting fierce, many of the trackers are upping their game.

As well as sleep and activity tracking, this device can take

photographs and control lights and music. But it still looks like an

activity track. The data collected from these trackers can vary

greatly, so maybe these sneakers could solve that problem. They have

a chip embedded inside them that accurately measures your distance,

down to the length of your stride. The shoes are in store approximately

five runs before needing to be synced up to an application. For

years, CES was all about who had the biggest television. These days, it

is also about who has the most flexible. LG wins this year, with a

prototype of a rollup display that, one day, may mean our computer

screens and televisions could be unrolled when needed to save on

clutter. This year, there is a lot of talk about something called HDR,

high dynamic range. These screens can show many more levels of detail

in the brightness of the picture, which means everything should look

much more fabulous. Here is the boss of Netflix, announcing he will be

streaming HDR content later this year. He has also expanded Netflix

to an extra 130 countries, meaning he now serves nearly the entire

world - with one big exception. What do you have to do to get into China?

We have great role models like Disney who have been incredibly

patient in developing their relationships with China, balloting

relationships first and business is second. We are not in any hurry. We

are getting to know the government and the consumers, we are taking our

time. The rest of the world such as the Philippines and Korea will be

great for us. We have a lot to work with. Lots of people will be faced

with a choice of buying a new television. Which do you think is

more important, the resolution or the colour depth. I think people

will be very impressed with HDR. That will be on top. I think that is

a great insight, it is very impressive visually. I have come to

the world's largest pinball museum. And I have met a mysterious guest.

This is the fly, a uniquely spherical personal flying robot.

It's the same shape and weight as a football. It claims it is the

world's safest drone, and it may be the cutest, to! What makes this

different to other drones we have seen? It is actually encased in

foreign, which makes it conducive to human interaction. No! Is a broken?

-- it? It was broken, but luckily this prototype has easily

replaceable, 3-D printed parts. It had the benefit of demonstrating the

drone's safe design, which I was not afraid was going to hurt me. The

Finnish robot will be made of plastic, and its many senses will

allow it to fly autonomously. Just push a button and pick what you want

it to do. You've learnt to fly a drone and

taken some pictures with it, what else can you do? In the case of the

combat drone, you can engage in aerial combat. They are fitted with

infrared sensors. To try and take out your opponent by shooting them,

it's kind of like laser tag with drones. When the lights flash, I

have let off a short. Infrared, flying low level under the radar. I

am really glad we are trying this out inside a giant net. If you score

six hits against your opponent, it is game over. You are challenging me

to combat? You just shot me! This is enormously unfair! Six hits and iron

out of the game! -- I am! So, CES, done for this week. We will have

more from this next week and more from the US in general. In the

meantime, if you would like to know how we make a show like this, the

editors are on Twitter. See you next week.
