:00:05. > :00:10.sent to Congo instead. That's it from me, but now on BBC News it is

:00:10. > :00:20.time for Click. How much detail do you really want

:00:20. > :00:30.to see on your TV? I mean really? Really?! Really? Oh my goodness,

:00:30. > :00:41.

:00:41. > :00:45.This week on Click, we go in search of the ultimate screen. Is this the

:00:45. > :00:50.best that the human eye can see? And if so how long until the

:00:50. > :00:54.upgrade is available? Fashion fit for robots. We explore how to try

:00:54. > :01:00.things on without actually trying them on. We will also have a round-

:01:00. > :01:07.up of this week's Tech News, bust plus a plush picture app for your

:01:07. > :01:11.mobile, plus a social method of managing or meetings in Webscape.

:01:11. > :01:15.Welcome to collect, I'm Spencer Kelly. Common sense says there's no

:01:15. > :01:19.point in inventing something if you simply can't appreciate it. Posh

:01:19. > :01:23.because, which have a higher frequency range than the human ear

:01:23. > :01:27.can hear, are lovely I'm sure. Personally I can't tell the

:01:27. > :01:31.difference. So if you want the ultimate TV set, you have to have

:01:31. > :01:35.at least the same level of definition as the human eye can

:01:35. > :01:39.perceive. Now for smaller screens some companies are claiming we're

:01:39. > :01:44.already there, but what about the big screen? Trying screens that

:01:44. > :01:48.show images which are, for want of a better word, completely real.

:01:48. > :01:52.Apparently that technology exists and it's being called 8K, although

:01:52. > :01:56.you won't be able to buy it for at least another seven years. To

:01:56. > :02:03.explain why, and which upgrades might be available while we're

:02:03. > :02:08.waiting, Dan Simmons reports from the 8K capital, Tokyo. -- Why We're

:02:08. > :02:13.waiting. A busy canvas of constantly moving

:02:13. > :02:20.colour saturated life, with its unique style, the Japanese capital

:02:20. > :02:25.is itself a feast for the eyes. And for the past few years, several of

:02:25. > :02:28.the country's biggest Tech grans, led by National broadcaster NHK,

:02:28. > :02:35.have been working out how to effectively replicate the quality

:02:35. > :02:44.of what we seek on a display. -- Take brands. So we can literally

:02:44. > :02:51.fool ourselves, at least initially, that we are there. In NHK's lobby,

:02:51. > :02:56.four HD TVs show to make a pixels, but the future is much bigger.

:02:56. > :03:02.These four screens together have about 25% of all the pixels in the

:03:02. > :03:08.new display NHK has come up with. This is the equivalent of 16 HD TVs

:03:08. > :03:14.to create one image. It's one of just a handful of 145 inch 8K

:03:14. > :03:19.screens in the world, so called because its 8000 pixels across.

:03:19. > :03:27.It's being dubbed the Ottoman display, and in theory at least we

:03:27. > :03:33.should be able to see why -- ultimate display. We can't

:03:33. > :03:43.recognise the resolution any more. 8K is enough for the human eye,

:03:43. > :03:45.

:03:45. > :03:49.that's why we don't need any more. It is ultimate Teddy? Yes. -- TV.

:03:49. > :03:53.The most recent attempts by the industry to recreate a more real

:03:53. > :03:57.life experience was 3D, which needed the viewer to be the right

:03:57. > :04:02.distance from the screen, and traded off high resolution to

:04:02. > :04:06.achieve the 3D effect. With 8K TV all of those problems go away, in

:04:06. > :04:12.fact you actually want to get much closer to the screen to experience

:04:12. > :04:16.all those pixels, the sharpness is retained. You can almost reach out

:04:16. > :04:20.and touched what's there. The viewing angle increases to about

:04:20. > :04:25.100 degrees, and that similar to your own viewing angle naturally,

:04:25. > :04:32.so your peripheral vision is completely filled. It's a much more

:04:32. > :04:37.in massive experience. 3D? Who needs 3D?

:04:37. > :04:42.To give you an idea of what I'm seeing we've tried to zoom in on

:04:42. > :04:48.just 116s of this 33 mega pixel video, where the detail is easy to

:04:48. > :04:56.see. -- 1 16th. The ashes taking flight above the fire. The pollen

:04:56. > :05:02.making a break for it. The droplets of water that make up a splash, and

:05:02. > :05:06.H K have called this Super Hi- Vision, it comes with 22. To

:05:06. > :05:09.surround sound. -- NHK. To produce these images special cameras are

:05:10. > :05:14.needed that raise their own problems for their operators. Now

:05:15. > :05:19.you can't judge focus simply by looking through the eyepiece, or a

:05:19. > :05:23.flip out display, as neither offer the resolution to faithfully show

:05:23. > :05:28.the captured image. You need a special high res monitor, this is

:05:28. > :05:33.the small camera capable of shooting 60 frames per second. But

:05:33. > :05:37.a new higher standard shoots 12033 mega pixel frames per second,

:05:37. > :05:43.delivering a much smoother image. That can currently only be shocked

:05:44. > :05:50.by this beast. That's the camera, not the man on the back. -- be shot

:05:50. > :05:54.by. Quite frankly, no! On-screen talent already bought at the idea

:05:54. > :06:01.of every pimple being shown in high-definition, imagine what it

:06:01. > :06:06.will be like when Super Hi-Vision arrives. -- already baulk. If

:06:06. > :06:11.actors or reporters are nervous, it seems viewers love it. The 8K

:06:11. > :06:15.displayed impressed everyone we show to when it was showed off at a

:06:15. > :06:20.recent Japanese tech expo. This man told me he was amazed at how

:06:20. > :06:25.precise the pictures were. Now that I've seen it, he told me, I can't

:06:25. > :06:30.wait for the new era of television. It was the first time this man had

:06:30. > :06:36.seen it as well, the panoramic aspect makes it feel like 3D, he

:06:36. > :06:43.said, it's very impressive and real and I'm surprised. On that sense of

:06:43. > :06:49.realism and depth makes 8K a better bet than 3D. According to NHK. They

:06:49. > :06:59.have decided against broadcasting in the current stereoscopic 3D TV

:06:59. > :07:00.

:07:00. > :07:06.format. 3D TV, so called, the stereoscopic one, this is not for

:07:06. > :07:11.general broadcasting services. We have the concern about problems for

:07:11. > :07:21.children's health in particular. Broadcasting services cannot

:07:21. > :07:23.

:07:23. > :07:27.control the viewer's environment. Also how long the viewers watch TV.

:07:27. > :07:34.The lack of excitement about the 3D TV format has left the industry

:07:34. > :07:39.looking for another way to persuade us to upgrade our HD sets. With 8K

:07:39. > :07:44.TV still at least seven years away, and intermediate stepping-stone has

:07:44. > :07:49.arrived in the form of 4K ultra high definition. Its eight mega

:07:49. > :07:57.pixel images offer four-times the resolution of HD, and it's already

:07:57. > :08:01.on sale. Starting at around $10,000! 4K will enable consumers

:08:01. > :08:06.to buy bigger TV is that can display four times as much detail

:08:06. > :08:10.as normal. And importantly 4K content is being produced now, that

:08:10. > :08:14.means consumers will be able to watch it earlier than 8K content.

:08:14. > :08:18.While we wait for the movie industry to make its titles

:08:18. > :08:23.available in 4K, other content is thin on the ground. With a few

:08:23. > :08:27.dozen PC video games and some online film trailers available to

:08:27. > :08:33.those with a powerful enough computer. You can make your own

:08:33. > :08:38.movies with this 4K camera, but there's no bespoke disc or media

:08:38. > :08:42.player for 4K content at the moment. And Streaming 4K media could

:08:42. > :08:48.require an with of up to 20 megabits per second, as more than

:08:48. > :08:52.twice the UK average. In the meantime it seems 4K displays may

:08:52. > :08:58.be most often enjoyed using the humble Blu-ray desk. With the TV

:08:58. > :09:03.using algorithms to guess what the extra pixels would look like. Up-

:09:03. > :09:12.ressing the image. So would NHK start a 4K TV service to help

:09:12. > :09:22.things along? Well, no actually. NHK is trying to go straight from

:09:22. > :09:27.

:09:27. > :09:32.HD, to 8K. There's no point in doing things twice. We need to

:09:32. > :09:36.change consumer receivers as well. As the 8K flag-bearer NHK has

:09:36. > :09:41.bigger things to worry about in the meantime, it needs to consider how

:09:41. > :09:46.to deliver 30 make a pixel images that need a reliable connection of

:09:47. > :09:51.100 megabits per second. Prices will have to fall. This 85 inch 8K

:09:51. > :09:55.screen costs around $1 million, no it's not for sale! If you're

:09:56. > :10:01.wondering how you get it up the stairs, that's 8K's third problem.

:10:01. > :10:06.They don't think we will have solid screens in 2020, we will have roll

:10:06. > :10:11.up or fall double ones, that unlike these will cover the whole wall.

:10:11. > :10:18.It's just they haven't yet been invented. But having seen an 8K TV,

:10:18. > :10:23.all I can tell you is I want one. And I'm not alone. The reaction

:10:23. > :10:31.shows that this kind of media is acceptable and also needed. Needed

:10:31. > :10:36.or wanted? Yeah, wanted! Get in ultra close to ultra high

:10:36. > :10:41.definition and Super excited I am about Super Hi-Vision. Dan Simmons

:10:41. > :10:45.exploring Tokyo's ultimate screen. Next up, a look at this week's Tech

:10:46. > :10:49.News. Facebook users have been voicing their dismay at potential

:10:49. > :10:53.changes to the terms and conditions which will stop them voting on any

:10:53. > :10:58.further changes. The company said the voting system encouraged

:10:58. > :11:02.quantity over quality of the back, and offered regular webcasts to

:11:02. > :11:09.address uses' concerns. The changes will also allow Facebook to share

:11:09. > :11:13.data across its other services including Instagram. The new

:11:13. > :11:17.devolved Inbox settings could lead to members receiving more

:11:17. > :11:20.unrequested messages from other users, or spam, from companies.

:11:20. > :11:23.Those living in cities in developing nations will be given

:11:23. > :11:27.the chance to shape their surroundings with the help of the

:11:27. > :11:31.United Nations and the construction based video game Minecraft. The

:11:31. > :11:36.game's creators revealed video of the new project, a huge gathering

:11:36. > :11:41.of the game's fans. The first footage to be released demonstrated

:11:52. > :11:56.launch of the new Wii U, Nintendo appears to be going retro by

:11:56. > :12:00.launching another console. This one, though, is a pared-down version of

:12:00. > :12:05.their old machine. The Wii Mini will launch next week but curiously

:12:05. > :12:08.only for the Canadian market. It costs just 100 Canadian dollars,

:12:08. > :12:14.but it won't connect to the internet, which is a big loss, and

:12:14. > :12:19.it also went play old Gamecube titles, which is not so much of a

:12:19. > :12:22.big loss. And the South Korean phenomenon, Gangnam Style, has

:12:22. > :12:26.become the most watched YouTube video of all time in just four

:12:26. > :12:32.months. It must have come as a shock to teen pop sensation Justin

:12:32. > :12:37.Bieber, who has held the accolade with his smash-hit Baby since 2010.
