sent to Congo instead. That's it from me, but now on BBC News it is

:00:05.:00:10.

time for Click. How much detail do you really want

:00:10.:00:20.

to see on your TV? I mean really? Really?! Really? Oh my goodness,

:00:20.:00:30.
:00:30.:00:41.

This week on Click, we go in search of the ultimate screen. Is this the

:00:41.:00:45.

best that the human eye can see? And if so how long until the

:00:45.:00:50.

upgrade is available? Fashion fit for robots. We explore how to try

:00:50.:00:54.

things on without actually trying them on. We will also have a round-

:00:54.:01:00.

up of this week's Tech News, bust plus a plush picture app for your

:01:00.:01:07.

mobile, plus a social method of managing or meetings in Webscape.

:01:07.:01:11.

Welcome to collect, I'm Spencer Kelly. Common sense says there's no

:01:11.:01:15.

point in inventing something if you simply can't appreciate it. Posh

:01:15.:01:19.

because, which have a higher frequency range than the human ear

:01:19.:01:23.

can hear, are lovely I'm sure. Personally I can't tell the

:01:23.:01:27.

difference. So if you want the ultimate TV set, you have to have

:01:27.:01:31.

at least the same level of definition as the human eye can

:01:31.:01:35.

perceive. Now for smaller screens some companies are claiming we're

:01:35.:01:39.

already there, but what about the big screen? Trying screens that

:01:39.:01:44.

show images which are, for want of a better word, completely real.

:01:44.:01:48.

Apparently that technology exists and it's being called 8K, although

:01:48.:01:52.

you won't be able to buy it for at least another seven years. To

:01:52.:01:56.

explain why, and which upgrades might be available while we're

:01:56.:02:03.

waiting, Dan Simmons reports from the 8K capital, Tokyo. -- Why We're

:02:03.:02:08.

waiting. A busy canvas of constantly moving

:02:08.:02:13.

colour saturated life, with its unique style, the Japanese capital

:02:13.:02:20.

is itself a feast for the eyes. And for the past few years, several of

:02:20.:02:25.

the country's biggest Tech grans, led by National broadcaster NHK,

:02:25.:02:28.

have been working out how to effectively replicate the quality

:02:28.:02:35.

of what we seek on a display. -- Take brands. So we can literally

:02:35.:02:44.

fool ourselves, at least initially, that we are there. In NHK's lobby,

:02:44.:02:51.

four HD TVs show to make a pixels, but the future is much bigger.

:02:51.:02:56.

These four screens together have about 25% of all the pixels in the

:02:56.:03:02.

new display NHK has come up with. This is the equivalent of 16 HD TVs

:03:02.:03:08.

to create one image. It's one of just a handful of 145 inch 8K

:03:08.:03:14.

screens in the world, so called because its 8000 pixels across.

:03:14.:03:19.

It's being dubbed the Ottoman display, and in theory at least we

:03:19.:03:27.

should be able to see why -- ultimate display. We can't

:03:27.:03:33.

recognise the resolution any more. 8K is enough for the human eye,

:03:33.:03:43.
:03:43.:03:45.

that's why we don't need any more. It is ultimate Teddy? Yes. -- TV.

:03:45.:03:49.

The most recent attempts by the industry to recreate a more real

:03:49.:03:53.

life experience was 3D, which needed the viewer to be the right

:03:53.:03:57.

distance from the screen, and traded off high resolution to

:03:57.:04:02.

achieve the 3D effect. With 8K TV all of those problems go away, in

:04:02.:04:06.

fact you actually want to get much closer to the screen to experience

:04:06.:04:12.

all those pixels, the sharpness is retained. You can almost reach out

:04:12.:04:16.

and touched what's there. The viewing angle increases to about

:04:16.:04:20.

100 degrees, and that similar to your own viewing angle naturally,

:04:20.:04:25.

so your peripheral vision is completely filled. It's a much more

:04:25.:04:32.

in massive experience. 3D? Who needs 3D?

:04:32.:04:37.

To give you an idea of what I'm seeing we've tried to zoom in on

:04:37.:04:42.

just 116s of this 33 mega pixel video, where the detail is easy to

:04:42.:04:48.

see. -- 1 16th. The ashes taking flight above the fire. The pollen

:04:48.:04:56.

making a break for it. The droplets of water that make up a splash, and

:04:56.:05:02.

H K have called this Super Hi- Vision, it comes with 22. To

:05:02.:05:06.

:05:06.:05:09.

needed that raise their own problems for their operators. Now

:05:10.:05:14.

you can't judge focus simply by looking through the eyepiece, or a

:05:15.:05:19.

flip out display, as neither offer the resolution to faithfully show

:05:19.:05:23.

the captured image. You need a special high res monitor, this is

:05:23.:05:28.

the small camera capable of shooting 60 frames per second. But

:05:28.:05:33.

a new higher standard shoots 12033 mega pixel frames per second,

:05:33.:05:37.

delivering a much smoother image. That can currently only be shocked

:05:37.:05:43.

by this beast. That's the camera, not the man on the back. -- be shot

:05:44.:05:50.

by. Quite frankly, no! On-screen talent already bought at the idea

:05:50.:05:54.

of every pimple being shown in high-definition, imagine what it

:05:54.:06:01.

will be like when Super Hi-Vision arrives. -- already baulk. If

:06:01.:06:06.

actors or reporters are nervous, it seems viewers love it. The 8K

:06:06.:06:11.

displayed impressed everyone we show to when it was showed off at a

:06:11.:06:15.

recent Japanese tech expo. This man told me he was amazed at how

:06:15.:06:20.

precise the pictures were. Now that I've seen it, he told me, I can't

:06:20.:06:25.

wait for the new era of television. It was the first time this man had

:06:25.:06:30.

seen it as well, the panoramic aspect makes it feel like 3D, he

:06:30.:06:36.

said, it's very impressive and real and I'm surprised. On that sense of

:06:36.:06:43.

realism and depth makes 8K a better bet than 3D. According to NHK. They

:06:43.:06:49.

have decided against broadcasting in the current stereoscopic 3D TV

:06:49.:06:59.
:06:59.:07:00.

format. 3D TV, so called, the stereoscopic one, this is not for

:07:00.:07:06.

general broadcasting services. We have the concern about problems for

:07:06.:07:11.

children's health in particular. Broadcasting services cannot

:07:11.:07:21.
:07:21.:07:23.

control the viewer's environment. Also how long the viewers watch TV.

:07:23.:07:27.

The lack of excitement about the 3D TV format has left the industry

:07:27.:07:34.

looking for another way to persuade us to upgrade our HD sets. With 8K

:07:34.:07:39.

TV still at least seven years away, and intermediate stepping-stone has

:07:39.:07:44.

arrived in the form of 4K ultra high definition. Its eight mega

:07:44.:07:49.

pixel images offer four-times the resolution of HD, and it's already

:07:49.:07:57.

on sale. Starting at around $10,000! 4K will enable consumers

:07:57.:08:01.

to buy bigger TV is that can display four times as much detail

:08:01.:08:06.

as normal. And importantly 4K content is being produced now, that

:08:06.:08:10.

means consumers will be able to watch it earlier than 8K content.

:08:10.:08:14.

While we wait for the movie industry to make its titles

:08:14.:08:18.

available in 4K, other content is thin on the ground. With a few

:08:18.:08:23.

dozen PC video games and some online film trailers available to

:08:23.:08:27.

those with a powerful enough computer. You can make your own

:08:27.:08:33.

movies with this 4K camera, but there's no bespoke disc or media

:08:33.:08:38.

player for 4K content at the moment. And Streaming 4K media could

:08:38.:08:42.

require an with of up to 20 megabits per second, as more than

:08:42.:08:48.

twice the UK average. In the meantime it seems 4K displays may

:08:48.:08:52.

be most often enjoyed using the humble Blu-ray desk. With the TV

:08:52.:08:58.

using algorithms to guess what the extra pixels would look like. Up-

:08:58.:09:03.

ressing the image. So would NHK start a 4K TV service to help

:09:03.:09:12.

things along? Well, no actually. NHK is trying to go straight from

:09:12.:09:22.
:09:22.:09:27.

HD, to 8K. There's no point in doing things twice. We need to

:09:27.:09:32.

change consumer receivers as well. As the 8K flag-bearer NHK has

:09:32.:09:36.

bigger things to worry about in the meantime, it needs to consider how

:09:36.:09:41.

to deliver 30 make a pixel images that need a reliable connection of

:09:41.:09:46.

100 megabits per second. Prices will have to fall. This 85 inch 8K

:09:47.:09:51.

screen costs around $1 million, no it's not for sale! If you're

:09:51.:09:55.

wondering how you get it up the stairs, that's 8K's third problem.

:09:56.:10:01.

They don't think we will have solid screens in 2020, we will have roll

:10:01.:10:06.

up or fall double ones, that unlike these will cover the whole wall.

:10:06.:10:11.

It's just they haven't yet been invented. But having seen an 8K TV,

:10:11.:10:18.

all I can tell you is I want one. And I'm not alone. The reaction

:10:18.:10:23.

shows that this kind of media is acceptable and also needed. Needed

:10:23.:10:31.

or wanted? Yeah, wanted! Get in ultra close to ultra high

News. Facebook users have been voicing their dismay at potential

:10:46.:10:49.

changes to the terms and conditions which will stop them voting on any

further changes. The company said the voting system encouraged

address uses' concerns. The changes will also allow Facebook to share

:11:02.:11:09.

data across its other services including Instagram. The new

:11:56.:12:00.

their old machine. The Wii Mini will launch next week but curiously

:12:00.:12:05.

only for the Canadian market. It costs just 100 Canadian dollars,

:12:05.:12:08.

but it won't connect to the internet, which is a big loss, and

:12:08.:12:14.

it also went play old Gamecube titles, which is not so much of a

big loss. And the South Korean phenomenon, Gangnam Style, has
