:00:00. > :00:00.Critics say the plans will divide universities and put a bigger

:00:00. > :00:08.Those are the headlines, now on BBC News, it's time for Click.

:00:09. > :00:17.This week we are going around the bond with lazy yoga, a laser

:00:18. > :00:52.hairbrush and submarine photography. Have you heard? Bond is back. Go,

:00:53. > :00:56.you have, sorry. It maybe last week's news here in the UK, but

:00:57. > :01:02.Spectre has only just been released worldwide. James drive so fast,

:01:03. > :01:08.shiny car, where a tux, and blows things up a lot. But if undercover

:01:09. > :01:14.spies were to do that in real life they would very quickly become over

:01:15. > :01:20.cover, and deceased. Normal spies are of course a lot more like you or

:01:21. > :01:26.me, completely blending in, not looking suspicious at all, while

:01:27. > :01:37.doing normal things. Clearly I am no special agent, well, not yet,

:01:38. > :01:41.anyway. Quick! To the soup are secret spy shop. If you don't have

:01:42. > :01:44.access to Her Majesty's credit card but fancy doing a bit of spying

:01:45. > :01:51.yourself, you may come to a place like this. A small man in a

:01:52. > :01:56.submarine... Emergency soup, emergency water. Every spy needs a

:01:57. > :02:03.hairbrush. I don't know what this is... Maybe that is what you need is

:02:04. > :02:09.the Falcons to make its escape. -- if the Falcons starts to make its

:02:10. > :02:24.escape. There is your Bluetooth beanie... Word is a position has

:02:25. > :02:28.become vacant for a new OO. We sent our top man over to Berlin, and it

:02:29. > :02:33.is fair in a brand-new spy Museum where the interview is being held.

:02:34. > :02:35.We think he is being tracked by another agent, a dangerous operative

:02:36. > :02:52.plotting to grab the top position herself. We just hope he makes it

:02:53. > :03:07.out alive. Hi, I am Dan, I mean, not Dan, I am W. I am T, who with these?

:03:08. > :03:16.IM F. I have filled the building behind me with the finest spy tools

:03:17. > :03:20.ever invented. Whoever gets the best material has the job. You have won

:03:21. > :03:24.our. This shiny new spy Museum has just opened its doors to the

:03:25. > :03:30.public. It features more than 200 touchscreens while behind the

:03:31. > :03:35.scenes, 300 computers run the show. Early in's history of close public

:03:36. > :03:38.surveillance by the Stasi is a big thing here, so you often feel like

:03:39. > :03:47.you're watched, where the know it or not. -- Ian watched. This corner is

:03:48. > :03:53.designed to see what it feels like to be watched by spies who could be

:03:54. > :04:01.anyone around you. I failed to spot that it was activated by and a

:04:02. > :04:05.laconic tripwire. This installation maps and recognises your face. With

:04:06. > :04:10.cameras now in our TVs and game consoles, it is hard to know who

:04:11. > :04:15.could be watching. Of course, today we freely share our location and

:04:16. > :04:18.personal information in many ways. This display shows how there are

:04:19. > :04:24.many applications that can track at all. Enough snooping, back to

:04:25. > :04:30.picking useful gadgets used by the real spies who chose to accept their

:04:31. > :04:35.missions. I am not too worried about T's discovery, the shaft of this

:04:36. > :04:43.pipe twists to prime it for firing back. Soviet operatives had a far

:04:44. > :04:48.less obvious means to kill. A poison pellet fired with a single jab of

:04:49. > :04:51.this umbrella was used to assassinate a Bulgarian dissident in

:04:52. > :04:59.broad daylight on the streets of London. And now, T's has got one. I

:05:00. > :05:11.have gone one better. Don't get jealous, it is a world's most

:05:12. > :05:15.popular spiker. -- spy car. Spies didn't use Lamborghinis or Ferraris

:05:16. > :05:20.to do their spy work, they didn't have the money and they were too

:05:21. > :05:24.conspicuous. They used these, which had cameras located pretty much

:05:25. > :05:30.anywhere on them. They also had infrared cameras to spy on people in

:05:31. > :05:36.the dark. With the power almost up, I felt I had done enough to secure

:05:37. > :05:46.the new job, but it looks like T has found a secret section. How did it

:05:47. > :05:58.go? Did you get the rocket launcher? No... Did you get the DV nine? No.

:05:59. > :06:07.Once you have got the helicopter you have got it, right? Time to take it

:06:08. > :06:36.up a gear and put on the tux for the final showdown. So long.

:06:37. > :06:48.Their job is yours. But what is going to happen to W? We have given

:06:49. > :07:00.him some more everyday home work to do.

:07:01. > :07:07.That was Dan Simmons and we haven't seen him since. It takes more than a

:07:08. > :07:11.tux to make a spy, as you have seen. Me, I think I will blending

:07:12. > :07:16.perfectly. How many pieces of spy equipment could you spot about my

:07:17. > :07:22.person? Yes, all of them. Or can you? Here is a plug adaptor that you

:07:23. > :07:27.can phone up and listen to the surrounding noises. As you can with

:07:28. > :07:35.this extension lead. I have a pen clipped to my tyre, the cut which is

:07:36. > :07:39.a camera. As is this thing on my shoulder, and perhaps. As is the

:07:40. > :07:46.tissue dispenser. Would you like to borrow my copy, which is a great

:07:47. > :07:50.watch but not a good read. This is only possible because cameras have

:07:51. > :07:53.shrunk to such a small size. Lara is going to show us what happens when

:07:54. > :08:02.you cram 16 of them into a space small enough to fit in your pocket.

:08:03. > :08:09.Smartphone cameras are pretty good these days. Come on, Percy! But

:08:10. > :08:20.sometimes you just missed the moment. Especially when snapping the

:08:21. > :08:26.unpredictable characters at London Zoo. That is nice, that is nice with

:08:27. > :08:32.the water! Are taking these pictures could be made a whole lot easier by

:08:33. > :08:35.what I have here in my hand. With 16 lanes is, 16 sensors, and 11

:08:36. > :08:40.mirrors, this prototype is no ordinary camera. You can also see it

:08:41. > :08:45.is not much bigger than the size of a chunky smartphone. Once you are in

:08:46. > :08:48.position and ready to take your picture, the camera will choose ten

:08:49. > :08:53.of the lenses that are going to take that image best, then with a clever

:08:54. > :09:00.software algorithm it will fuse together those images to create a

:09:01. > :09:05.snap of up to 52 megapixels. But it is what happens after that that is

:09:06. > :09:08.where it really gets interesting. While this model doesn't actually

:09:09. > :09:12.work yet, I'm going to be using a working prototype to take the

:09:13. > :09:16.picture. The idea with the finished product is that you just hold it up

:09:17. > :09:19.and take the photograph, which will appear on the screen, and then you

:09:20. > :09:26.can change depth of field, focus or length of shot. Five of the lenses

:09:27. > :09:30.are similar to those you would find in a smartphone, the others work

:09:31. > :09:34.more like mini periscopes. The makers say what they have created

:09:35. > :09:39.should excel at shooting in low light as there are ten sensors

:09:40. > :09:43.rather than one to catch the light. But with a price point at $1700,

:09:44. > :09:49.this isn't likely to be something for the casual user. When you think

:09:50. > :09:54.about what this is replacing, up to $6,000 worth of photographic gear.

:09:55. > :10:00.It could go into a cellphone and at one or 200 dollars to the price of

:10:01. > :10:05.it. Why so expensive? Because we know what we are competing with.

:10:06. > :10:10.There are people who are willing to spend a lot of money on camera

:10:11. > :10:16.equipment. Smartphones are already getting in on the game. Just

:10:17. > :10:20.released in the US, this has two lenses that work together to allow

:10:21. > :10:26.users to refocus after they have taken the image. But however things

:10:27. > :10:36.work out for the light fell 16, we may have just had a glimpse of the

:10:37. > :10:39.smartphone cameras of the future. Hello and welcome to the weekend

:10:40. > :10:43.technology. It was the week the UK government proposed a law that would

:10:44. > :10:48.force internet providers to store the website address as we visit. If

:10:49. > :10:52.passed, the bill would let police and intelligence services be the

:10:53. > :10:56.names of the sites without a warrant. But not the specific pages

:10:57. > :11:01.browsed. It was also the week researchers at MIT developed a super

:11:02. > :11:06.autonomous drone that can fly through forests without crashing,

:11:07. > :11:12.and that up to 30 mph. Another teenager believed to be part of the

:11:13. > :11:16.Talk Talk hat was arrested, and Twitter changed its favourite button

:11:17. > :11:19.from start to a heart. Lovely. It was also the week that Google

:11:20. > :11:26.offered to write your e-mails for you. Its new smart reply Gmail

:11:27. > :11:30.feature will read your messages and offer up three appropriate

:11:31. > :11:35.responses. Handy for an unwelcome invasion of privacy from the data

:11:36. > :11:39.harvesting giant? Finally, if he needed further proof that the

:11:40. > :11:44.Japanese can't get enough of robots, Toyota has unveiled a companion hot

:11:45. > :11:47.it can do so many things. He can sit next to you while you are driving,

:11:48. > :11:51.talk to you when you are feeling lonely, or just simply hang out with

:11:52. > :12:06.you. This man is being tracked through a

:12:07. > :12:11.wall using just Wi-Fi signals. Those blobs are faint reflections created

:12:12. > :12:15.by the signals when a a body. By looking at the shape of the body the

:12:16. > :12:21.system can work out where you are, what you are doing, and even who you

:12:22. > :12:26.are. Right now, it can recognise 15 different people with 90% accuracy.

:12:27. > :12:32.At a high level it is using a simple principle, that wireless sync tools

:12:33. > :12:37.reflect off our bodies. It is using these low-power signals, sending

:12:38. > :12:44.them and observing their reflections through the wall, and we get the

:12:45. > :12:49.silhouette of a person. That silhouette has something about our

:12:50. > :12:54.height and build, and some people have round structure, some people

:12:55. > :12:58.more elongated structure, depending on the bone structures in their body

:12:59. > :13:02.and the structure of their body. That is enough to distinguish

:13:03. > :13:10.between people. This is the first idea that researchers are using

:13:11. > :13:12.Mitac four. The Emerald system is going to track elderly people as

:13:13. > :13:20.they move around their homes, detect if they fall, then call for help.

:13:21. > :13:26.You can imagine how technology that allows you to see through walls may

:13:27. > :13:30.have less altruistic motives. I think any society must develop

:13:31. > :13:35.policies so technology is used for the best interests. One that is used

:13:36. > :13:50.for surveillance must be used in a good context.

:13:51. > :14:02.If you want to do some underwater spying, you will need your own

:14:03. > :14:05.submersible scooter. You might be wondering what we could possibly

:14:06. > :14:09.follow this within the programme, well, would you believe Richard

:14:10. > :14:20.Taylor is in another personal submersible?

:14:21. > :14:28.It is a craft quite like no other. Enter the Dragon. Belying her racy

:14:29. > :14:34.looks, she is a battery-powered marine voyager capable of cruising

:14:35. > :14:37.the deeper for six hours on end. She has grown like capabilities thanks

:14:38. > :14:44.to a combination of Wombourne sensors and software nestled into

:14:45. > :14:48.her friend. -- on board centres. All in all it adds up to a quad copter

:14:49. > :14:53.like invention that its inventor says is a gamechanger. Anybody can

:14:54. > :15:01.take this craft safely down and fly it and that means that before that

:15:02. > :15:06.time submersibles were a big deal. Expensive with a professional pilot.

:15:07. > :15:10.Still expensive but you don't need a professional pilot, so we are

:15:11. > :15:15.getting there. Yes, about that price. At a cool $1.5 million, she

:15:16. > :15:22.is designed as a plaything for the super-rich to house on the super

:15:23. > :15:26.yachts. But today, yours truly, just shy of that status, is hitching a

:15:27. > :15:28.ride. As I buckle up, I'm ever so slightly apprehensive. This

:15:29. > :15:33.prototype was finished literally just days earlier. But no time for

:15:34. > :15:39.regrets. A quick reminder to the Mrs... The money is under the

:15:40. > :15:45.mattress! And we are loaded into the lake Tahoe. Graham and I keep comms

:15:46. > :15:50.over Bluetooth. He is in constant radio contact with the shore as

:15:51. > :15:54.well. The other was exposed in oxygenated bubbles at a constant

:15:55. > :15:58.pressure. It feels comfortable but I think six hours down at its maximum

:15:59. > :16:02.depth and I might feel a bit claustrophobic. And if I think

:16:03. > :16:06.really hard about it, safety issues do arise despite the fact there is

:16:07. > :16:13.on board 24-hour reserve oxygen supplies. Imagine being 120 metres

:16:14. > :16:16.down. It is twilight and you have been creeping around and you have

:16:17. > :16:21.sharks overhead and having a great time. And suddenly it fails. What

:16:22. > :16:33.happens? It does not think. It just goes back up. It has failed but no

:16:34. > :16:36.problem. This is the only thing I will get to see and it is kind of

:16:37. > :16:41.ridiculous because we are only in about eight feet of water and you

:16:42. > :16:47.would not do this in anything else. The Dragon is not a speed beast,

:16:48. > :16:51.maxing out at only five mph. The adrenaline comes in controlling it

:16:52. > :16:57.really personal underwater capsule. We are just a couple of feet

:16:58. > :17:01.underwater here and it is a slightly odd sensation because for the first

:17:02. > :17:06.time I'm breathing normally underwater, it feels very normal,

:17:07. > :17:11.and there is no scuba or snorkelling gear. It is literally just me in

:17:12. > :17:16.this hemispherical globe, if you like, which is allowing me to

:17:17. > :17:20.experience the underwater world in a completely different way. And then

:17:21. > :17:26.it is my turn to take the helm. I'm at maximum downward thrust. I'm

:17:27. > :17:32.going pretty quickly. I can feel this. I can see the surface

:17:33. > :17:36.receding. Steering is remarkably straightforward thanks to the

:17:37. > :17:39.so-called deep flight manager. One lever for downward thrust on the

:17:40. > :17:45.other to control my direction. I take her to 70 feet but then it is

:17:46. > :17:49.time to head back home. Price aside, the Dragon will not be for

:17:50. > :17:53.everyone. Scuba divers will scoff at the idea of being cooped up in a

:17:54. > :17:57.cockpit rather than being truly free in the ocean. But for me, it was

:17:58. > :18:08.perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. It looks a bit sci-fi but

:18:09. > :18:18.this is actually an armband that I'm using to control the drone with

:18:19. > :18:24.gestures. It is quite difficult to get the hang of. You have to be very

:18:25. > :18:34.subtle and the wind is interfering quite a lot today. But with a bit of

:18:35. > :18:42.practice and some patients, -- perseverance, you can nail it.

:18:43. > :18:44.Inside this band there are eight electromyographic pods and they will

:18:45. > :18:50.pick up the electric activity from my muscles and translate that into

:18:51. > :18:54.movement. And in one of these pods, this one, there is Bluetooth and

:18:55. > :18:57.motion sensor and a processor and that will send all of the

:18:58. > :19:02.information about the gestures I'm making back to the app on the phone

:19:03. > :19:08.or whatever it is you are trying to control with the band. In addition

:19:09. > :19:12.to flying the drone, it can be used for three categories of consumer use

:19:13. > :19:16.today. The first one is presentations. It works with

:19:17. > :19:21.PowerPoint or Keynote. The second category is enough and keyboard at

:19:22. > :19:25.on your computer. You can point at links and even enter text. And the

:19:26. > :19:31.last category is fun and entertainment. Games and apps. You

:19:32. > :19:36.can download more applications to work with the armband. The benefit

:19:37. > :19:39.of these is you can be anywhere, behind the device if you want, and

:19:40. > :19:43.if there is visual interference around you, it is not going to

:19:44. > :20:00.interfere with your control of the vehicle. Flight of the bumblebee 's

:20:01. > :20:06.plays. Let's give it another go. I broke it. As gesture technology

:20:07. > :20:10.matures and inevitably gets smaller and more powerful, it could replace

:20:11. > :20:14.the mouse and keyboard for the next generation of computers, allowing

:20:15. > :20:23.interaction with smart glass, augmented reality and virtual

:20:24. > :20:29.reality all with the click of -- flick of a wrist. Now, covert

:20:30. > :20:34.operations to just involve keeping yourself secret, they also involve

:20:35. > :20:38.hiding things away. If you were to burgle my house, we would you look,

:20:39. > :20:46.cold hard cash? -- where would you look? This is my absolute

:20:47. > :20:54.favourite. It is not a bottle of water but another safe for storing

:20:55. > :21:02.really small things. Next, mind control lasers. If it is not enough

:21:03. > :21:07.to sit back and enjoy a light show, why not control it with your mind?

:21:08. > :21:13.Yes, laser light and sound show made especially for one person using

:21:14. > :21:17.input from their brain. This installation is part of a yearly

:21:18. > :21:23.festival in London. Today, my job entails connecting my brain to those

:21:24. > :21:29.lasers behind me and I cannot say that I'm not excited because I am.

:21:30. > :21:34.The system is measuring my EEG from this might headset. Actually, you

:21:35. > :21:38.can buy these for around $100, which makes the wonder if I can make this

:21:39. > :21:43.at home. Which bits are doing what? This is how much attention I'm

:21:44. > :21:46.praying... They are both doing it. It is the measurement between these

:21:47. > :21:49.points that will give us the reading that is going to reward me if I

:21:50. > :21:58.concentrate with beautiful music and visions. Yes. Time to get up close

:21:59. > :22:04.and personal with my own personal light show. The more I pay

:22:05. > :22:13.attention, the more I get rewarded by more complex sounds and visuals.

:22:14. > :22:16.The resulting light show is oddly rewarding. It feels like I'm

:22:17. > :22:21.finishing levels in a computer game where the visuals change. We are

:22:22. > :22:25.taking this attention value that comes out of the headset, how much

:22:26. > :22:29.you are concentrating on something, and then we map that different

:22:30. > :22:34.musical scales. How you are playing a directly -- different musical

:22:35. > :22:38.instrument is directly connected to your attention. Let us little behind

:22:39. > :22:43.the curtain and this is where I realise that I really cannot make

:22:44. > :22:46.this in my house. For starters, I would need at least 80 metres of

:22:47. > :22:51.space and scaffolding to make a huge tunnel as well as a powerful 13

:22:52. > :22:54.watts laser, 10,000 times powerful -- more powerful than a laser

:22:55. > :22:58.pointer. Plus the whole thing has to be made safe to stare down. I would

:22:59. > :23:02.also need to computers running copious programmes, the computer at

:23:03. > :23:06.the front running the EEG signals on the headset and running the music

:23:07. > :23:11.and sending the data required for the second computer to control the

:23:12. > :23:16.laser. What I do in my day job is put together big spectacles for

:23:17. > :23:22.bands and events and things like that, so this is taking some of the

:23:23. > :23:32.scale, technology and far from the big concert shows and producing an

:23:33. > :23:35.experience for one person. Well, I don't quite a lot went into that and

:23:36. > :23:41.as an artistic periods, I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, if you will

:23:42. > :23:48.excuse me, I might have another go. That was LJ and that is it from us

:23:49. > :23:52.apart from one last thing. I have to show you this voice changer should

:23:53. > :23:56.you wish to place on us while you are on the phone to someone. There

:23:57. > :24:08.are two settings I want to show you. I will let Bob tell you that... DEEP

:24:09. > :24:25.MAN'S VOICE: there is more on BBC iPlayer. WOMAN'S VOICE: Andy King

:24:26. > :24:29.catch up with us on Facebook and Twitter. -- and you can catch up

:24:30. > :24:38.with us. See you soon. 18 degrees makes it very mild

:24:39. > :24:41.through the day on Friday.
