:00:00. > :00:08.In around ten minutes we have Newswatch. First, it is time for
:00:09. > :00:12.Click. We have a great show for you this weekend, including... And, a
:00:13. > :00:35.look at an amazing... It should be a long shot, unless she manages to...
:00:36. > :00:42.Welcome to Click. The makers of TV documentaries try to capture real
:00:43. > :00:49.life on camera. People behaving naturally with honest conversations,
:00:50. > :00:52.showing true emotion. Even though they have agreed to be filmed, it
:00:53. > :00:56.can be difficult to act naturally when you have this motley crew in
:00:57. > :00:59.the same room as you. Give us a wave. In order to not to intrude, we
:01:00. > :01:04.have used longer lenses, remote microphones, video diaries, we have
:01:05. > :01:07.built whole houses full of cameras. These days, the conversations we are
:01:08. > :01:26.trying to capture don't just take place face`to`face. Younger people
:01:27. > :01:28.especially are texting, tweeting, WhatsApping each other and if
:01:29. > :01:31.documentary makers can't document that, they are missing half the
:01:32. > :01:35.story. This is Channel 4's secret life of students which charts the
:01:36. > :01:41.lives of 12 students over the first tumultuous term at Leicester
:01:42. > :01:43.University. Alongside the visual action, we see their digital
:01:44. > :01:46.conversations with friends and family, something billed as giving
:01:47. > :01:50.us an instant insight into what is going on beneath their fingertips
:01:51. > :01:52.and in their heads. It really opened my eyes to what a different
:01:53. > :02:03.generation they are. The quantity, for starters. We had 200,000 bits of
:02:04. > :02:06.content. They were able to say something on a text message to their
:02:07. > :02:09.boyfriend, friend, mum, dad, that they would not say in real life. It
:02:10. > :02:15.was something pretty standard for that generation. Production company
:02:16. > :02:23.Raw TV, created a d`rig, allowing them to tap into the message streams
:02:24. > :02:25.in real`time. They ran special software that captured incoming and
:02:26. > :02:27.outgoing text messages along with those from Facebook, Twitter,
:02:28. > :02:38.WhatsApp, Instagram and web searches and sent them to a central d`rig
:02:39. > :02:42.viewer in the office. It is a surprise always. When Facebook came
:02:43. > :02:47.about, the idea that you were let into other people's lives. That you
:02:48. > :02:50.might not actually have spent a lot of time talking to or getting to
:02:51. > :02:53.know, though on Facebook they were very honest and open and not
:02:54. > :03:06.worrying what they were necessarily saving. Not monitoring themselves
:03:07. > :03:08.the whole time. This is the first time digital communications have
:03:09. > :03:11.been monitored and used in a documentary in making sure
:03:12. > :03:19.everything was above board, legally and morally, was a big priority.
:03:20. > :03:22.There was a long consenting process, more than you normally would with a
:03:23. > :03:26.normal documentary. Because we have the added layer of being able to
:03:27. > :03:29.keep their messages and go back to them and use them in the edit. We
:03:30. > :03:37.could not keep that information. Not unless we have the consent of the
:03:38. > :03:40.people they were communicating with. Voice calls were also recorded on
:03:41. > :03:42.the phones, although again, only from phone numbers that had
:03:43. > :03:47.previously consented to being recorded. The software on the phones
:03:48. > :03:50.ensured that calls to and from numbers not on the list were never
:03:51. > :03:53.recorded in the first place. Consented communications were stored
:03:54. > :03:56.in the d`rig throughout the course of the filming in case the team
:03:57. > :04:03.needed to go back to find something that became relevant later on. This
:04:04. > :04:06.is an immediate insight into the minds of students meant that the
:04:07. > :04:09.filming team on the ground knew exactly what questions to ask. This
:04:10. > :04:22.was one of the students featured in the series. There were some people I
:04:23. > :04:26.text who don't want to read their attacks. By week three, I know they
:04:27. > :04:31.can read these messages and it gets a bit awkward. Especially when you
:04:32. > :04:34.know the camera people have seen or heard about what you have been
:04:35. > :04:37.texting. They might not be the people reading of them but they
:04:38. > :04:40.might have vaguely heard, so they ask you questions about this and
:04:41. > :04:44.that and stuff. If I told my friends at home, they would be like, why
:04:45. > :04:51.would you ever want anyone to see your texts? Well, I don't know. It
:04:52. > :04:54.is a new experience. Raw's next project with the d`rig focuses on
:04:55. > :05:03.the lives of school`age teenagers. It is early days for this
:05:04. > :05:05.technology. As this generation of hyper`connected teenagers become
:05:06. > :05:08.adults, it could become a necessity for every documentary to capture
:05:09. > :05:14.communications in this way in order to tell the whole story. I wonder
:05:15. > :05:19.whether you think it is possible to document reality without tapping
:05:20. > :05:28.into the online side these days. Why not let us know online of course? We
:05:29. > :05:31.take another look at how tech is reflecting reality next at this week
:05:32. > :05:39.'s tech news. A leaked online document suggests
:05:40. > :05:42.GCHQ altered internet polls, looked at private Facebook photos and sent
:05:43. > :05:54.fake e`mails which appeared to come from BlackBerry users. It is alleged
:05:55. > :05:57.to have been leaked by former US cyber spook, Edward Snowden. GCHQ
:05:58. > :05:59.said he did not comment on intelligence matters. Google
:06:00. > :06:03.partners with Novartis to develop its smart contact lenses for
:06:04. > :06:13.diabetics. It measures glucose from tear fluid in the eye and sends
:06:14. > :06:16.readings wirelessly to their mobile. It could make a huge difference for
:06:17. > :06:19.the many diabetics who get glucose readings from blood tests. Google
:06:20. > :06:21.has assembled a team of hackers to spot critical bugs and
:06:22. > :06:30.vulnerabilities of the internet. `` on the internet. The group says they
:06:31. > :06:33.will make public at database of bugs and fixes. They have employed one of
:06:34. > :06:36.the most notorious hackers, George Hotz, as an intern. He faced legal
:06:37. > :06:40.action for hacking PlayStation 3 and iPhone. Finally, Germany comes up
:06:41. > :06:49.with a solution to stop cyber spying. A return to the trusty
:06:50. > :06:52.typewriter. In a TV interview, the head of a parliamentary enquiry into
:06:53. > :06:58.NSA spying in Germany said it is no joke they are considering the
:06:59. > :07:01.technology. It might not catch on. One politician said she would rather
:07:02. > :07:07.abolish the secret services than return to typewriters.
:07:08. > :07:10.The Commonwealth Games begin in Scotland on Wednesday and this time
:07:11. > :07:12.around it isn't only the athletes going for glory. This time,
:07:13. > :07:25.spectators can compete against the world was the fastest man, Hussein
:07:26. > :07:28.Bolt. Virtually, of course. Inside this warehouse in the south of
:07:29. > :07:30.England, technicians and engineers test out their 16 metre long
:07:31. > :07:33.widescreen display. This giant LED screen shows a slightly oversized
:07:34. > :07:46.Hussein Bolt running at his fastest recorded speed, 27.44 mph. Here, the
:07:47. > :07:49.virtual track is less than half the length it will be when fully
:07:50. > :07:55.assembled in Glasgow ` a monstrous 40 metres. There, visitors are
:07:56. > :07:58.invited to race Hussein Bolt over the course of the Commonwealth
:07:59. > :08:05.Games. To get here has been no easy win. Sensor and camera positioning
:08:06. > :08:08.is vital for this to work. And because the timing of the video
:08:09. > :08:11.footage has to reflect precisely the actual speed of the real Bolt within
:08:12. > :08:34.the physical TV screen, size really is everything. The ratio of the
:08:35. > :08:38.screen makes it complex. Normally, you expect a screen to be 60:9
:08:39. > :08:41.ratio, the standard screen you would see at what makes it different is
:08:42. > :08:45.that where it is a running rows, it is a very long and narrow screen, so
:08:46. > :08:49.getting the footage to work is one of the challenges `` 60:9. Yes, it
:08:50. > :08:51.is a gimmick at a chance for the sponsor to acquire on`line
:08:52. > :08:54.information from visitors so that it can stay in touch with them on
:08:55. > :08:57.social networks, if you catch my drift. For the technicians, it has
:08:58. > :08:59.given them a new experience that goes like lightning. Even if you
:09:00. > :09:03.don't. Now, if all of that running about
:09:04. > :09:07.sounds a bit too much like hard work, take a look at this. This is
:09:08. > :09:09.one of the first games we have seen that uses the new version of
:09:10. > :09:16.Microsoft's motions sensor, Connect two. On something other than an
:09:17. > :09:23.XBox. There it is at the top of the screen, and behind it is a PC
:09:24. > :09:26.running Windows 8.1. We are at Disney's HQ in London, because they
:09:27. > :09:29.are the first to experiment with the new animation and Connect two.
:09:30. > :09:37.Hence, I am pretending to be a plane and I am dumping water on the
:09:38. > :09:40.wildfires. It goes on sale for anyone to tinker with and use with
:09:41. > :09:44.all sorts of different kit like PCs and robots this week. The original
:09:45. > :09:46.Connect has been used for all kinds of stuff from helping surgeons to
:09:47. > :09:53.offering new artworks in galleries like those we saw a few weeks ago.
:09:54. > :09:57.It is tracking 25 joints in my body as opposed to 20 in the previous
:09:58. > :10:09.model and it can keep track of up to six people at a time, four more than
:10:10. > :10:12.before. That's partly because the new Connect has a wider field of
:10:13. > :10:15.vision, hence myself and Dan can stand next to each other, arms
:10:16. > :10:18.outstretched, and play the game and it copes adequately. It can also
:10:19. > :10:21.recognise smaller objects than the original Connect and allows you to
:10:22. > :10:28.stand closer, which is handy if you are short of space in the living
:10:29. > :10:34.room. Disney has to use all of that to come up with this game. Disney
:10:35. > :10:37.previously had a job making this active promotional stand work in
:10:38. > :10:40.cinemas or shopping centres when smaller children tried to play. That
:10:41. > :10:49.is because the original Connect wasn't sensitive enough to pick up
:10:50. > :10:51.the movements of small people. There are other gesture recognition
:10:52. > :10:59.systems around, Leapmotion and DepthSense, for example. But Connect
:11:00. > :11:02.has been most used and adapted by developers. It is a fraction more
:11:03. > :11:06.expensive, so we will have to see if its dominance continues in years to
:11:07. > :11:10.come. Am afraid that is it for the short version of Click. The
:11:11. > :11:16.full`length is available on iPlayer writer. `` right now. Thank you for
:11:17. > :11:45.watching. We will see you next time. Hello and welcome to Newswatch, with
:11:46. > :11:49.me, Samira Ahmed. Coming up: the BBC has announced almost ?50 million of
:11:50. > :11:51.cuts to its news budget. What effect will that have on the services it
:11:52. > :11:52.provides for its
