:00:10. > :00:34.website. Now, it is time for Click. Taxi! Taxi! Taxi!
:00:35. > :00:39.Welcome to Click. And welcome back to Japan, a country where everyone
:00:40. > :00:45.always seems to be in a rush. Well, nearly everyone. Coming up, I will
:00:46. > :00:49.explain why I was so keen to catch that taxi and I will take a ride
:00:50. > :00:53.around Tokyo that terminates underground. We will also have a
:00:54. > :01:00.first look at the Sony PlayStation four. And if you thought technology
:01:01. > :01:07.was a young person 's game, we will meet the robot assisted pensioners
:01:08. > :01:15.who say otherwise. All that plus the latest technology news and top tips
:01:16. > :01:20.for travellers in Webscape. Tokyo, the beating heart of Japan. 9
:01:21. > :01:33.million souls, one destination. Tomorrow. City of light, city of
:01:34. > :01:43.vision, city of future. Yes. The wise man takes Tokyo seriously. But
:01:44. > :01:46.beware. Don't be overwhelmed as you arrive at your breast, weary
:01:47. > :01:50.traveller, keep hold of those things that are most precious. If it slips
:01:51. > :02:01.from your hand, it may slip from your mindful top and all will be
:02:02. > :02:05.lost. Shame, really. That I was not travelling in a taxi like this. It
:02:06. > :02:10.is running a prototype system which alerts the passenger if they have
:02:11. > :02:14.left anything behind. The concept is really, really simple. There are
:02:15. > :02:19.cameras in each of the two foot rolls. There is one back there and
:02:20. > :02:24.there is one in the trunk. As soon as you leave the cab, these cameras
:02:25. > :02:28.take photos which they then compare against what an empty taxi should
:02:29. > :02:35.look like. If the computer sports a difference, it lets you know. Too
:02:36. > :02:40.late, so, for this poor cat. The next passenger will claim my
:02:41. > :02:50.souvenir. But lucky for me, this time, it can be replaced. It's hard
:02:51. > :02:53.to imagine standing here in the middle of Tokyo 's user district
:02:54. > :03:01.that Japan has the oldest population in the world. Around one third of
:03:02. > :03:05.its 127 million people are over the age of 60 and that means this
:03:06. > :03:08.country is the first to face the problem of looking after an ageing
:03:09. > :03:14.population and keeping elderly people mobile and independent into
:03:15. > :03:18.possibly their second century on the planet. It may be a Japanese problem
:03:19. > :03:25.but it has some suitably Japanese solutions.
:03:26. > :03:31.Harvest season in Watari, four Hours Drive from Tokyo. This man 's Apples
:03:32. > :03:39.are right for the picking, a job which he will help to do himself. He
:03:40. > :03:45.will be wearing a new suit. The metalware is not some Japanese
:03:46. > :03:48.fashion statement. It has been designed by the Tokyo University of
:03:49. > :03:56.agriculture and technology to give this 68 `year`old his own power arm.
:03:57. > :04:03.TRANSLATION: The robot helps support my knees by taking away any burden.
:04:04. > :04:08.This model sports springs, braces and groups to strengthen his
:04:09. > :04:15.movements and support his posture. The work that demands heavy
:04:16. > :04:20.lifting, motors and sensors are installed to physically drive his
:04:21. > :04:25.limbs and joints. But at an estimated $5,000, if this prototype
:04:26. > :04:30.suit ever makes it into production, it is unlikely to suit every
:04:31. > :04:36.pensioner 's pocket. TRANSLATION: Yes, it is expensive. But we can
:04:37. > :04:41.tailor suits with extras like a taste censored to assess the
:04:42. > :04:46.ripeness of harvested fruit. That is useful if the pickup 's sense of
:04:47. > :04:54.taste is faded. Or a camera to record each season 's produce and
:04:55. > :04:59.help sell it to buyers. He relaxes, enjoying tea with his wife. Like 6
:05:00. > :05:04.million other pensioners in Japan, he insists he does not want to stop
:05:05. > :05:11.working any time soon. TRANSLATION: Never, not at all. Time is ticking
:05:12. > :05:15.for Japan. It already has the world 's oldest population and it is one
:05:16. > :05:19.that is also growing faster than anywhere else. Researchers need to
:05:20. > :05:24.work out how all sorts of technology could help. Walking through the
:05:25. > :05:28.streets of Sugamo, a district of Tokyo popular with the elderly, I
:05:29. > :05:34.can see many making the most of their day. But I cannot help
:05:35. > :05:41.thinking how many more are unseen, stuck inside and unable to get out
:05:42. > :05:45.and about. And that is exactly what researchers here at the Tokyo
:05:46. > :05:51.Institute of technology have been working on. In this and Latin 's
:05:52. > :05:54.cave, professors and their students test out various ways to improve the
:05:55. > :05:59.lives of ordinary people `` Aladdin 's cave. How about a trolley that
:06:00. > :06:03.follows you? Rather than pushing or pulling a shopping trolley, simply
:06:04. > :06:07.charge of the battery and attach a cable. And on board computer just
:06:08. > :06:11.the speed of the wheels according to the length of the cable so that the
:06:12. > :06:16.trolley keeps the same pace that you do. And a clever wheel the duration
:06:17. > :06:23.means it can even cope with curves. Well, most of the time. My
:06:24. > :06:36.grandmother suffered from severe lung disease and I lived with her
:06:37. > :06:42.and I took care of her. So, I understand how heavy an oxygen tank
:06:43. > :06:52.is and how uncomfortable it was for her. So I decided to develop this.
:06:53. > :06:57.Here is another idea. This time, to give an upright option for
:06:58. > :07:01.paraplegics. Here, the central section between the crutches
:07:02. > :07:04.supports the use 's body for the split second they need to swing the
:07:05. > :07:08.supports forward and take another step. A small motor powers the
:07:09. > :07:14.midsection and actually propels the user up with. As far as their feet
:07:15. > :07:19.are concerned, they are momentarily weightless. It is a design that is
:07:20. > :07:31.being refined at the moment. Plugging into the mains is something
:07:32. > :07:36.I sure they are working on. I have come to one of 400 care homes in

:07:54. > :08:00.on board computer then determines how it should respond. Nurses at the
:08:01. > :08:02.care home say that the Paro seal sparks conversation where there was
:08:03. > :08:09.none before, getting residents thinking and caring. Many here say
:08:10. > :08:20.Paro seal has become so much more than a robot. TRANSLATION: Paro
:08:21. > :08:27.seal is my friend. I like that he seems to understand human feelings.
:08:28. > :08:31.These were introduced to care homes across Japan a few years ago and
:08:32. > :08:36.they are still the most popular robots used on the older generation.
:08:37. > :08:43.Perhaps it's because they're not metallic and hard but rather cute
:08:44. > :08:48.and cuddly. They are much easier for us humans to connect with. Using
:08:49. > :08:52.their expertise in robotics, the Japanese hope to improve life for
:08:53. > :09:00.their later years. If they achieve that, then everyone in Japan will
:09:01. > :09:04.sleep more easily. There is plenty more to come on Click in Japan after
:09:05. > :09:10.a look at this week 's technology news. Google 's wrote a roller unit

:09:22. > :09:24.and US. The handset has a 4.5 inch high definition screen, a five
:09:25. > :09:30.megapixel camera and runs the latest version of Android. Analysts predict

:10:39. > :10:42.into the investment pot. In an attempt to capitalise on his
:10:43. > :10:49.enormous fan base, he hopes to create a new platform to promote the
:10:50. > :10:55.self`portrait trend. You don't have to go far to witness Japan 's love
:10:56. > :10:59.of technology. And much of it is so peculiarly Japanese that it never
:11:00. > :11:05.leaves the country. However, this week sees the launch of what could

:12:03. > :12:08.console is pretty unfussy, the controller has had a makeover. This
:12:09. > :12:15.large glowing light on the front of the is used in conjunction with the
:12:16. > :12:19.PlayStation camera to let the controller nowhere is in
:12:20. > :12:24.3`dimensional space. This means it can be used as a motion sensor.
:12:25. > :12:32.Other strings have been added to. This is a touchpad. It can be used
:12:33. > :12:37.in some games for multimedia features and there is also a speaker
:12:38. > :12:40.and this is a share button. This allows players to record crucial
:12:41. > :12:47.moments of gameplay and share them online for showing off when you do
:12:48. > :12:52.something really weird. Sony has always been key in augmented
:12:53. > :12:55.reality. What we are seeing here is called playroom. It uses the
