:00:00. > :00:00.Coming up in about ten minutes on BBC News will be Newswatch,
:00:00. > :00:35.This week, we've been to IFA, the massive tech show in Berlin.
:00:36. > :00:38.We'll be looking at the big launches and the cool new devices
:00:39. > :00:42.from the fair in a few minutes, and we'll also hear from the people
:00:43. > :00:50.behind them, who, we've noticed are once again mostly men.
:00:51. > :00:53.The lack of women in tech has been well documented and it's something
:00:54. > :01:04.we run up against every single day working on Click,
:01:05. > :01:07.and it's so frustrating, it's extremely rare for us to turn
:01:08. > :01:10.up at a tech company and for any of the available spokespeople
:01:11. > :01:14.It's been suggested that the lack of women in tech starts
:01:15. > :01:18.Kids are going back to school this week on the heels of stats
:01:19. > :01:23.from the latest exam results here in the UK showing that girls
:01:24. > :01:25.are turning away from Stem subjects - that's science,
:01:26. > :01:30.Only 20% of those who sat the computer sciences GCSE exam this
:01:31. > :01:46.Someone who is fighting gender stereotypes is Anne-Marie Imafidon.
:01:47. > :01:50.At 11 years old she took an A-level in computing and by 20 had graduated
:01:51. > :01:57.So the biggest thing is the social norm and it's that awareness
:01:58. > :02:00.of the options that you have, but also the role models
:02:01. > :02:02.and the people that have gone before you.
:02:03. > :02:06.And so you think that maybe it is just for dead white guys
:02:07. > :02:10.to do, and of course there are loads of living guys that are working
:02:11. > :02:13.in science and technology, but also loads of dead women that
:02:14. > :02:16.have created things like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, of course famously
:02:17. > :02:18.The first programme was written by Ada Lovelace.
:02:19. > :02:21.But there are countless women whose stories we don't
:02:22. > :02:25.And so that definitely plays on that social norm.
:02:26. > :02:27.Anne-Marie co-founded Stemettes, an organisation on a mission
:02:28. > :02:30.to inspire and help more women into stem careers.
:02:31. > :02:33.She's also filled a house with teenage girls from across Europe
:02:34. > :02:38.and turned it into an incubator to foster new Stem ideas.
:02:39. > :02:42.My advice for young girls is to look for your tribe and look for groups
:02:43. > :02:46.you can plug into and get involved in.
:02:47. > :02:50.Technology is such a social thing to do, you rarely work on your own.
:02:51. > :02:53.I'd love to see a technical female character in EastEnders or something
:02:54. > :02:57.like that to move the social norm just a little bit so that
:02:58. > :03:01.for the rest of us that whole notion of there being a technical female
:03:02. > :03:04.is something that's not just that one character in the Matrix
:03:05. > :03:08.or whoever it is in that Bond movie, but it's something a little bit more
:03:09. > :03:16.Of course since I met Anne-Marie there has at least been one big
:03:17. > :03:18.change on screen that may hopefully influence a whole generation...
:03:19. > :03:24...Maybe that should be regeneration of geeks.
:03:25. > :03:27.OK, now, as promised, to Berlin, to Europe's largest tech fair,
:03:28. > :03:34.IFA, where Dan Simmons has taken cover from the autumnal weather.
:03:35. > :03:42.Tunnels of curved TVs lead you from Hall 70 to 80.
:03:43. > :03:45.There are 26 here at IFA, some larger than a football pitch,
:03:46. > :04:03.packed with the latest gadgets, gizmos and gardening baskets?
:04:04. > :04:05.This one also uses LEDs but to grow plants.
:04:06. > :04:08.The basket monitors and provides water and nutrients to promote
:04:09. > :04:11.This year, robots seem to be everywhere.
:04:12. > :04:15.This one's got eyes in the back of its head.
:04:16. > :04:19...To ones that will help you clean the floor.
:04:20. > :04:22.It's supposed to stop if someone walks in front of it but if it
:04:23. > :04:26.doesn't, at least you get a nice shoeshine.
:04:27. > :04:28.And this multilingual one helps you get to your gate,
:04:29. > :04:31.among other things, when you feed it your boarding card.
:04:32. > :04:34.Both started work at Seoul airport this summer hoping to impress
:04:35. > :04:51.visitors and raise LG's profile ahead of February's Winter Olympics.
:04:52. > :04:54.Smart watches haven't quite been the hit that was promised,
:04:55. > :04:57.so what about an old school watch with hands, with the smart screen
:04:58. > :05:02.The hands even get out of the way when you get a message.
:05:03. > :05:05.The idea has already raised $6 million in crowd fundraising.
:05:06. > :05:08.And SanDisk has another big number on a microscale.
:05:09. > :05:09.Now, this is remarkable, 400GB SD card.
:05:10. > :05:15.Only last year this would have looked like this.
:05:16. > :05:18.We've seen Vayyar's gadget for DIY home improvements that can see
:05:19. > :05:20.through walls earlier this year using radio-frequency signals
:05:21. > :05:24.like radar it can also detect family people are in the room
:05:25. > :05:32.and whether they're sitting or lying down.
:05:33. > :05:36.And the kit can also see through internal walls,
:05:37. > :05:39.so multiple rooms can be monitored without the need
:05:40. > :05:42.This sort of anonymous tracking could be used to smarten
:05:43. > :05:49.You can have your TV follow you around, you can have the TV turn
:05:50. > :05:53.off when you get up and get a coffee and you can have the coffee machine
:05:54. > :05:57.start making coffee when you leave your room in the morning or even
:05:58. > :06:00.direct the air conditioning or the heating to follow you around
:06:01. > :06:04.or to change in accordance to how many people are inside the room.
:06:05. > :06:05.Two new upgrades to consumer 360 cameras.
:06:06. > :06:08.Kodak's 4K offering is now an all-in-one unit.
:06:09. > :06:10.Postproduction has been simplified with an easy-to-use slider to stick
:06:11. > :06:18.the two images together if you don't like the automatic on-board result.
:06:19. > :06:21.And Insta360's One can now stream live to Facebook or YouTube
:06:22. > :06:33.if you down-res from its native 4K quality.
:06:34. > :06:36.It also let's you do a sort of director's cut of what you've
:06:37. > :06:40.with friends, and the clever bullet shot feature let's you go
:06:41. > :06:44.And Chinese newcomer Detu showcased its new low-cost 8k 360
:06:45. > :06:52.Twobig phone launches here, LG's V30, which supports super
:06:53. > :06:55.high-res sound files at a stunning 2-to-1 ratio OLED display and Sony's
:06:56. > :06:57.latest Xperia model, which uses the camera's autofocus
:06:58. > :07:03.function to create a 3-D model of anything.
:07:04. > :07:07.Normally to do 3-D you would have to go to a professional studio
:07:08. > :07:10.and use lots of cameras but we've brought that into one camera
:07:11. > :07:14.Take that standard OBJ file and basically the possibilities
:07:15. > :07:23.Hmm, with some messaging apps out there already able to make use
:07:24. > :07:41.of these 3-D scans, perhaps they are.
:07:42. > :07:46.Where are they? I thought we were in a safe place!
:07:47. > :07:49.The release of both Apple and Google's AR developer kits
:07:50. > :08:04...At a time when augmented reality has been upping its game.
:08:05. > :08:07.Well, we started out with augmented reality in books seven years ago
:08:08. > :08:10.and at the time we were using webcams and computers.
:08:11. > :08:14.Now the characters that we generate with the digital AR are much richer,
:08:15. > :08:15.they're more complicated, they're more sophisticated.
:08:16. > :08:19.The interactivity we can do with those features is much greater
:08:20. > :08:22.so as ARKit and ARCore from Apple and Google come into play later this
:08:23. > :08:26.year, we'll be able to be even more, it's going to be
:08:27. > :08:40.If you happen to find yourself on a roof and want to be joined
:08:41. > :08:42.by a dinosaur, then this could come in handy.
:08:43. > :08:45.The best AR experiences are when the virtual object is well
:08:46. > :08:47.placed in a 3-D space and its proportions change
:08:48. > :08:59.The ARKit is going to give the cameras on our everyday phones
:09:00. > :09:01.and tablets the capability to perceive depth better.
:09:02. > :09:04.It will do so by tracking objects in a scene through the frame
:09:05. > :09:09.using computer vision and analysis and combining it with data
:09:10. > :09:22.According to Google its ARKit will also estimate the light coming
:09:23. > :09:25.into a room so that virtual things are placed in the scene
:09:26. > :09:29.And if rumours are to be believed, the upcoming iPhone will feature
:09:30. > :09:40.a laser sensor to improve its spatial awareness.
:09:41. > :09:42.And Qualcomm two weeks ago released this video
:09:43. > :09:45.which shows its new depth sensing chip, showing Android devices
:09:46. > :09:49.Right now, the pricing Microsoft HoloLens might provide
:09:50. > :09:52.this experience for the elite few but augmented and mixed reality
:09:53. > :10:23.That's certainly what the aim is with this, the $30
:10:24. > :10:26.So, the kit consists of this Google cardboard inspired headset,
:10:27. > :10:29.which of course you place your phone inside, and to increase your field
:10:30. > :10:33.of view while doing that there is a fisheye lens to attach.
:10:34. > :10:36.Now you also got a head strap which means once that's attached
:10:37. > :10:39.you freed up your hands, once your hands are free you're
:10:40. > :10:42.going to be able to hold onto the two controllers so you can
:10:43. > :10:46.interact a bit more with your content and make sure you place
:10:47. > :10:47.things in a suitable environment in the real world,
:10:48. > :10:50.They'll ensure the area is accurately mapped so virtual
:10:51. > :10:52.objects can be anchored appropriately.
:10:53. > :11:00.Just a shame I found the headset rather uncomfortable to wear.
:11:01. > :11:03.It left me with a bit of a sore nose.
:11:04. > :11:06.But if a game of golf isn't for you then maybe this is.
:11:07. > :11:10.City Social's foray into the world augmented reality uses the medium
:11:11. > :11:12.to bring their cocktail menu to life.
:11:13. > :11:16.You have a choice of what genre of art you would like in relation
:11:17. > :11:19.to what cocktail you choose so every cocktail tells a story.
:11:20. > :11:23.Before seeing this in the flesh I did struggle to see the point
:11:24. > :11:24.but the detail was beautifully executed.
:11:25. > :11:27.It was creative and I think I personally could have appreciated
:11:28. > :11:40.now, the easier for the cut off Click this week. The full version is
:11:41. > :11:46.online to you at any time you please. And you can follow us on
:11:47. > :11:48.Twitter and Facebook, too. Thanks for watching and we will see you
:11:49. > :12:06.soon. Hello, and welcome to Newswatch
:12:07. > :12:12.with me, Samira Ahmed. After recent nuclear missile tests,
:12:13. > :12:16.is this a good time for the BBC
