:00:34. > :00:37.Imagine a world where your car runs on electricity and it drives itself.
:00:38. > :00:41.Yeah, not so much of a stretch these days, is it?
:00:42. > :00:46.Batteries are getting better and cars are getting smarter.
:00:47. > :00:48.The two biggest revolutions in transport are electrification
:00:49. > :00:54.Those are the two biggest innovations since the moving
:00:55. > :01:06.production line and they're both happening at about the same time.
:01:07. > :01:09.And it's Elon Musk's company, Tesla, that's really been spearheading
:01:10. > :01:13.We first took the Roadster for a spin back in 2007
:01:14. > :01:16.and since then the electric vehicle has gone from sporty status symbol
:01:17. > :01:23.to, well, if I'm honest, a slightly less sporty status symbol.
:01:24. > :01:25.But dominating the conversation at the moment - not Tesla's latest
:01:26. > :01:28.models, but concerns over the safety of its driver assist autopilot
:01:29. > :01:36.feature, after it was involved in two crashes and one fatality.
:01:37. > :01:39.But while the lawyers go to work on the autonomous side,
:01:40. > :01:43.Musk is getting ready for electric to go prime time.
:01:44. > :01:46.Now, the space beneath the floor in these things is full of batteries
:01:47. > :01:50.and Tesla is going to need an awful lot of them.
:01:51. > :01:52.Dave Lee has been to Nevada to witness the opening
:01:53. > :02:12.Right now it's only 14% finished, if you can believe that,
:02:13. > :02:15.and when it's complete the complex will cover over 3,000 acres.
:02:16. > :02:18.This factory is the crucial part of the master plan set out
:02:19. > :02:20.by the boss of Tesla, Elon Musk.
:02:21. > :02:23.When Elon Musk published his latest master plan for he wants to do
:02:24. > :02:26.with Tesla, he said he was done doing just electric cars,
:02:27. > :02:29.now he wants to do things like lorries and buses and any type
:02:30. > :02:34.If he wants to do that then he needs to make a lot more batteries,
:02:35. > :02:42.The plan is to basically speed things up a bit.
:02:43. > :02:45.Right now Tesla have to ship battery cells across the ocean from Asia.
:02:46. > :02:47.This takes a long time and is very expensive,
:02:48. > :02:50.and so they want to make battery cells right here instead.
:02:51. > :02:53.They've promised that by 2018 they'll be able to produce enough
:02:54. > :02:55.batteries for 500,000 cars each year.
:02:56. > :02:57.And it won't just be car batteries, either.
:02:58. > :03:00.Tesla's home and business energy storage units will also be
:03:01. > :03:08.I believe we are on track to meet the 500,000 in 2018.
:03:09. > :03:11.Obviously long-term it will make sense to have a Gigafactory
:03:12. > :03:17.in Europe and one in China, probably one in India.
:03:18. > :03:20.Very big plans, although he may want to concentrate on finishing
:03:21. > :03:26.Tesla has missed a lot of deadlines in the past and I wouldn't be
:03:27. > :03:31.But I went to the Fremont factory before that opened and it was kind
:03:32. > :03:35.of a ghost yard there too, but they've done some amazing thing
:03:36. > :03:38.there and I think they'll do some amazing things here too.
:03:39. > :03:41.But not everything is going smoothly.
:03:42. > :03:44.Do you have any regrets about how Tesla rolled out autopilot
:03:45. > :03:51.We have the internal data to know that we improved people's safety,
:03:52. > :04:01.not just in fatalities, but also injuries.
:04:02. > :04:04.It's pretty fair to say that only Elon Musk could pull off something
:04:05. > :04:07.like the Gigafactory and, of all the things he's working on,
:04:08. > :04:10.it's surely this project that will make or break it.
:04:11. > :04:30.That was Dave Lee, at the Gigafactory.
:04:31. > :04:31.Hello and welcome to the Week in Tech.
:04:32. > :04:34.It was the week a plane powered only by the sun circumnavigated
:04:35. > :04:38.the globe, Apple sold its billionth iPhone and space robot the Philae
:04:39. > :04:41.Meanwhile, 3D screenings without glasses could be coming soon
:04:42. > :04:45.Although already possible on a smaller scale, MIT CSAIL
:04:46. > :04:47.and the Weizmann Institute of Science's prototype could provide
:04:48. > :04:51.the eyewear-free big-screen solution.
:04:52. > :04:54.The technology only allows viewing through a limited range of movement,
:04:55. > :05:11.It also needs a more practical solution to its current 50 sets
:05:12. > :05:13.of mirrors and lenses before going on general release.
:05:14. > :05:16.Feel your computer game characters need a bit more emotion?
:05:17. > :05:18.Veeso is a face-tracking VR headset which hopes to recreate the way
:05:19. > :05:24.Its built-in infrared cameras track your eyes,
:05:25. > :05:26.eyebrows, jawbone and mouth, so your avatar can react accordingly.
:05:27. > :05:31.And it was a good and bad week for smart home devices.
:05:32. > :05:33.Good because an attack-mode security camera alerted a homeowner to this
:05:34. > :05:38.fire, so the fire brigade could be called.
:05:39. > :05:41.But bad, as some Petnet smart pet feeders were hit by a server outage,
:05:42. > :05:55.Now, every so often the world goes crazy for a brand-new app
:05:56. > :05:57.and in the last couple of weeks something amazing
:05:58. > :06:04.No, this is an app called Primsa, which does something brilliant
:06:05. > :06:16.It applies really extreme filters to still images.
:06:17. > :06:26.Filters that make a photograph look like an illustration or a painting.
:06:27. > :06:28.It's an app that can make your photos look
:06:29. > :06:31.like they were painted by Picasso or Mondrian.
:06:32. > :06:35.Well, I quizzed its creator via Skype.
:06:36. > :06:47.Then you send a photo to the Cloud and we have several networks doing
:06:48. > :06:53.different parts of the image processing.
:06:54. > :06:56.Then a network will redraw your image based on a style you choose.
:06:57. > :07:07.And then you get the result on a device.
:07:08. > :07:09.Now, you haven't just stopped at photos, have you?
:07:10. > :07:18.I thought it would be nice to apply this to moving
:07:19. > :07:21.Unfortunately, this app does not support video,
:07:22. > :07:29.But moving images are just lots of stills put together, right?
:07:30. > :07:35.Film is just a series of still images all played
:07:36. > :07:42.So, I took an old sketch made for Click starring Spencer
:07:43. > :07:46.and I as cowboys and exported every single frame as a still image.
:07:47. > :07:49.Once these images were imported back on my phone I applied the same
:07:50. > :07:58.I used a particular filter called Heisenberg.
:07:59. > :08:03.This created a hand-drawn effect which created a short film that
:08:04. > :08:07.looks like it had been rotoscoped, that's an old animation technique
:08:08. > :08:13.relying on artists tracing over footage of real human movement.
:08:14. > :08:21.When viewed on a phone, the cells animated in a form similar
:08:22. > :08:25.Export them into imaging software and play them one after the other
:08:26. > :08:44.We will put the whole Ceislak work of art online but here is a brief
:08:45. > :08:50.Prisma have plans to make its filters work on 360 degree
:08:51. > :08:53.photos as well as working on video footage which means in the future
:08:54. > :08:55.you won't have to go through the labourious
:08:56. > :09:24.We are off to the Royal Institution just here to participate
:09:25. > :09:28.So large it will make a new world record.
:09:29. > :09:31.And those of you living under a GGI rock for the last 20 years,
:09:32. > :09:35.I don't really need to explain the rules, do I?
:09:36. > :09:37.And the people responsible for gathering this parade
:09:38. > :09:40.I have invented a way for the audience to come in,
:09:41. > :09:43.connect on a Wi-Fi network so that we can beam games at them,
:09:44. > :09:51.To make the magic happened they need a main computer hooked up
:09:52. > :09:54.to a router daisychained around the room.
:09:55. > :09:57.The amount of routers depends on the amount of players.
:09:58. > :09:58.The audience is divided into two teams.
:09:59. > :10:04.Each player gets two controls beamed to their phones,
:10:05. > :10:14.The votes make the corresponding slider move up or down.
:10:15. > :10:17.It says Hello Kwek, "Please stand by."
:10:18. > :10:21.Then the room went crazy out of nowhere.
:10:22. > :10:23.Steve and Rob emerged like two Pong overlords hellbent
:10:24. > :10:32.on achieving their goal as world-record holders.
:10:33. > :10:37.The Guinness World Record adjudicators arrived and calmed
:10:38. > :10:40.the crowd into a deep meditative concentration.
:10:41. > :10:59.Phones flashed, people cheered, and a mighty match
:11:00. > :11:07.But the real question on everyone's lips...
:11:08. > :11:27.One of the greatest world records ever achieved by any single person
:11:28. > :12:01.That's it for the short version of Click this week, thanks for
:12:02. > :12:06.watching. You can get the full version online.
