:00:13. > :00:14.helping Syrian refugees in Jordan. And we will watch the fastest data
:00:15. > :00:17.in the world and the fastest data This week marks the fifth year
:00:18. > :00:45.since the conflict in Syria began. Since then, the region has seen
:00:46. > :00:49.a mass movement of people as an estimated 4 million refugees
:00:50. > :00:54.have fled into neighbouring countries including Lebanon,
:00:55. > :00:58.Turkey and Jordan. Distributing aid and processing
:00:59. > :01:00.papers for the refugees It means that many people can wait
:01:01. > :01:06.at the border for a long time before But for refugees entering Jordan,
:01:07. > :01:11.new ways of using biometric technology to identify people
:01:12. > :01:16.could make for quicker processing times and even easy access
:01:17. > :01:21.to aid through banks. And there is plenty of other
:01:22. > :01:23.inventive tech ideas to improve daily life coming
:01:24. > :01:28.from the refugees themselves. We have been to Jordan's capital
:01:29. > :01:31.Amman and the Zaatari camp We are on the road to Zaatari,
:01:32. > :01:42.the largest refugee camp in Jordan. Only a few miles from Syria,
:01:43. > :01:45.many people have come here from Daraa, often called
:01:46. > :01:48.the cradle of revolution for its early role in antigovernment
:01:49. > :01:52.protests. The camp was formed four years ago
:01:53. > :01:56.when people fled the war Now over 80,000 people
:01:57. > :02:00.are estimated to live here. Despite facing incredible hardship,
:02:01. > :02:08.there is an atmosphere of resilience and entrepreneurial
:02:09. > :02:09.spirit which gives it In the camp, many refugees
:02:10. > :02:15.are working and there Once an empty desert,
:02:16. > :02:20.thousands of shops and homes almost The main street is called
:02:21. > :02:24.Sham D'Elysees, which is a play on two things, the word the Syrians
:02:25. > :02:27.refer to Damascus by, You can find everything from bridal
:02:28. > :02:33.dresses, to vegetable shops and barbershops,
:02:34. > :02:36.and even quite a few One of the shop is run by Mohammed

:02:47. > :02:49.compartment? I haven't seen these tablets before,
:02:50. > :02:58.they have games for kids from China. And if you break your phone,
:02:59. > :03:01.you are in good hands here. There are several workshops open
:03:02. > :03:04.in the evening in many spare parts for sale including the Samsung
:03:05. > :03:07.batteries for just a few dollars We also watched a report he had been
:03:08. > :03:14.featured in talking about how he stays in touch with his family
:03:15. > :03:18.in Syria through WhatsApp. Not many people here have laptops
:03:19. > :03:22.he says, but everyone can afford Keeping in touch with family back
:03:23. > :03:30.home is critical for those whose lives have been torn
:03:31. > :03:32.apart by the conflict. The majority of Syrian refugees
:03:33. > :03:36.in Jordan live in the capital where at least 600,000
:03:37. > :03:40.are registered with the UNHCR. This is the waiting
:03:41. > :03:44.area for refugees. This is where they wait
:03:45. > :03:51.to process their cases, whether it is a interviews to renew
:03:52. > :03:54.asylum certificates or to follow up on their cases on an individual
:03:55. > :03:57.basis, whether it is for cash assistance, health assistance
:03:58. > :03:59.or legal assistance. Whatever they may need,
:04:00. > :04:01.we have it here. We have around 3000-4000 individuals
:04:02. > :04:07.per day and this is why the registration centre
:04:08. > :04:16.is the largest in the Middle East. We process their cases on a daily
:04:17. > :04:19.basis, whether it is for registration for other units
:04:20. > :04:23.or even resettlement interviews. The problem of registering so many
:04:24. > :04:27.new people has led to a solution All refugees who enter Jordan
:04:28. > :04:38.have their irises scanned to confirm their identities
:04:39. > :04:41.and are given an identification card The process is two steps,
:04:42. > :04:44.with initial enrollment Today we meet a family
:04:45. > :04:47.from Homs who are renewing The iris scan is considered the most
:04:48. > :04:51.secure form of biometrics as fingerprints can change over
:04:52. > :04:55.time, especially for young children. Along with ID cards,
:04:56. > :04:58.the data is shared with local partners to try to make
:04:59. > :05:01.life a bit more normal. Bank accounts are automatically
:05:02. > :05:05.created with the Cairo Amman bank where aid money can be taken out
:05:06. > :05:08.in the blink of an eye. There is no need to register
:05:09. > :05:12.information again with the bank, as it comes through the UNHCR
:05:13. > :05:19.secure iCloud server based The data is shared
:05:20. > :05:24.between four countries, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq,
:05:25. > :05:27.to ensure you aren't registered There is some information that
:05:28. > :05:32.would be shared with the government, actually for their service
:05:33. > :05:36.and for our service actually because the Jordanian authority
:05:37. > :05:38.needs to know the numbers. But other information,
:05:39. > :05:43.this will be 100% secret He might tell me that he was
:05:44. > :05:49.tortured in his country. The general information,
:05:50. > :05:56.we will tell him that this might be shared with the government,
:05:57. > :06:02.and actually they agree. Back in Zaatari technology
:06:03. > :06:04.is being used in inventive ways The camp is a community of makers
:06:05. > :06:12.and one of the most innovative Three years ago, he fled
:06:13. > :06:25.the violence in Syria They all have disabilities
:06:26. > :06:28.and struggle to get around He wanted to have more independence
:06:29. > :06:31.and designed electric bike around Giving refugees access to technology
:06:32. > :07:37.and education is the focus One of its startups, 3DMeena,
:07:38. > :07:43.is focused on fabrication A Syrian refugee volunteer named
:07:44. > :07:48.Assam, became so efficient with the machines here
:07:49. > :07:50.that he became the company's Technical Director, even teaching
:07:51. > :07:54.members of the Jordanian Royal rehab He was an ambulance driver
:07:55. > :07:59.in Syria and lost his leg As well as customising
:08:00. > :08:04.his own prosthetics, he helped a young Yemeni boy named
:08:05. > :08:07.Zayn, who lost part of his hand They were able to include elements
:08:08. > :08:12.of Zayn's favourite cartoon character in the design,
:08:13. > :08:17.all for just 75 US dollars. Assam also helped develop a 3D
:08:18. > :08:20.printed system using feedback for another Syrian refugee named
:08:21. > :08:24.Ahmed who was blinded by a sniper The echolocation system helps
:08:25. > :08:32.guide him to walk around unaided. There are 1.5 million
:08:33. > :08:36.Syrian refugees in Jordan and that is almost 20%
:08:37. > :08:40.of the population. So we need to find the best way
:08:41. > :08:47.to engage with them. As we can't just keep
:08:48. > :08:51.ignoring the problem, it is opportunity for us to find
:08:52. > :08:55.an economy in Jordan where we don't This is a change for us more
:08:56. > :09:00.than a burden. The company plans to open
:09:01. > :09:05.fabrication labs in a refugee camp in Turkey and in a northern
:09:06. > :09:07.Jordanian city. It is a small but positive step
:09:08. > :09:12.to harness the talents of people forced into exile and help them to
:09:13. > :09:19.integrate to a new country country. Hello and welcome

:11:04. > :11:06.Texas on the hunt for the next big hit in the world of
:11:07. > :11:09.apps and social media. Welcome to Austin and to South
:11:10. > :11:13.by Southwest, something of a pilgrimage for all the big
:11:14. > :11:17.names in new apps and startups. By the end of this week,
:11:18. > :11:20.everyone who travels here hopes The South by Southwest Interactive
:11:21. > :11:29.Festival is into its 23rd year. It prides itself on being a breeding
:11:30. > :11:35.ground for success. One thing that is great
:11:36. > :11:37.about it is word-of-mouth. Everyone is looking for the next big
:11:38. > :11:41.thing and everyone takes it back to their individual communities
:11:42. > :11:45.and help it to catch on. Word-of-mouth means big things have
:11:46. > :11:49.come out of this show. There was Twitter in 2007,
:11:50. > :11:53.Foursquare was a big hit in 2009 and last year everyone was talking
:11:54. > :11:57.about live streaming apps like Meerkat,
:11:58. > :11:59.although the success We find that things that catch
:12:00. > :12:06.on too quickly tend to die out, people see them as a flash
:12:07. > :12:09.in the pan and they're not ready for the success, they don't
:12:10. > :12:11.have the infrastructure built in. So if you come to South
:12:12. > :12:19.by Southwest as a startup, you need to do certain things
:12:20. > :12:23.to stand out from all the others, like bringing along
:12:24. > :12:28.this little fellow. A puppy powered networking event
:12:29. > :12:31.is always going to make you a lot of friends, but who really stood out
:12:32. > :12:36.at this year's show? Nothing is really out there,
:12:37. > :12:39.there are some successes, but no breakout successes
:12:40. > :12:47.like last year. There has been Twitter,
:12:48. > :12:49.Foursquare, Meerkat and there are some interesting apps,
:12:50. > :12:51.like one that you can record a thought in audio and have other
:12:52. > :12:54.people reply with their thoughts It was debuted early before South
:12:55. > :12:58.by Southwest and they have been I can't believe this
:12:59. > :13:01.is a real company. Another big trend is for apps that
:13:02. > :13:04.get other people to do the kind of jobs that you can't
:13:05. > :13:06.be bothered to do. Favour is another similar app
:13:07. > :13:09.which promises to deliver anything Once you have placed the order,
:13:10. > :13:14.it is connected to the closest runner who will either bike or drive
:13:15. > :13:19.to where you placed your order and will get you everything
:13:20. > :13:22.from food, groceries or something like a phone charger
:13:23. > :13:27.or a computer from Apple. There may not be a breakout hit
:13:28. > :13:30.for 2016 but South by Southwest Just look at this guy plugging some
:13:31. > :13:36.social network called The reason I'm here is really
:13:37. > :13:42.to recruit all of you. It wasn't a bad pitch,

:14:16. > :14:19.which isn't me. The TomTom Golfer watch can
:14:20. > :14:22.automatically detect that you have taken a shot, and after the game
:14:23. > :14:28.offers some funky postgame analysis. The watch syncs with a smartphone
:14:29. > :14:32.that can tell you where you went Measuring distances and warning

:15:49. > :15:52.you can simply increase the intensity of your workout
:15:53. > :15:54.or even engage extra muscles, like your core and upper
:15:55. > :15:57.body while out running. It comes at a pretty high price,

:16:16. > :16:19.is particularly challenging, Every three seconds it will take
:16:20. > :16:28.a recording of the child's temperature, and then transfer that
:16:29. > :16:34.data to a smartphone app. The waterproof device can be
:16:35. > :16:37.attached under the arm with a sticker, or tucked under
:16:38. > :16:40.the waistband of a nappy. High fever alerts can also be set
:16:41. > :16:43.up, as long as the phone While some of the ideas may appear
:16:44. > :16:51.more likely to take off than others, this could be a taste of what we can
:16:52. > :16:55.expect from wearables in the future. It might not look it,
:16:56. > :17:14.but it is a world record. This is the fastest data
:17:15. > :17:22.transfer in history. Researchers here at University
:17:23. > :17:27.College London are sending information through optic
:17:28. > :17:32.fibre at speeds of 1.125 It is also 50,000 times faster
:17:33. > :17:47.than the average UK home broadband connection, and still much faster

:17:51. > :17:57.backbone that this research As with all experiments,
:17:58. > :18:03.this looks very experimental, It is sending data over 3000
:18:04. > :18:09.kilometres of optic fibre. It's actually sending it
:18:10. > :18:13.through 100km of fibre 30 times. Then it comes to the
:18:14. > :18:16.receiver over here. There it is, the data coming
:18:17. > :18:20.in at one terabit per second. This is a clever mix of digital
:18:21. > :18:26.signal processing to filter out the noise, and physics,
:18:27. > :18:31.which attempts to use every part of the light to maximise
:18:32. > :18:35.the data rate. In order to increase the data rate,
:18:36. > :18:37.we are typically instead of using one colour light
:18:38. > :18:40.we are using a number of colour lights and combining them into one
:18:41. > :18:43.big what we call a super channel. Then, we increase the amount
:18:44. > :18:46.of information we can send on each By using these cunning techniques,
:18:47. > :18:52.the team here say upgrading the internet won't take
:18:53. > :18:57.a lot of digging. You can use the same optic fibre
:18:58. > :18:59.cables and just change But will we ever really need
:19:00. > :19:07.all that extra speed? Well, history would
:19:08. > :19:12.suggest, yes we would. To be able to send much greater

:20:52. > :20:58.wheel from 1983. This is from 92, which is actually
:20:59. > :21:07.pretty nice compared to this one. As a Londoner I am wondering
:21:08. > :21:10.where the horn is! It is not just the wheels that help
:21:11. > :21:15.it go round the track. The Williams team have about 500
:21:16. > :21:19.sensors on each car and around 1000 That works out at around 60-80
:21:20. > :21:24.gigabytes of data generated That is tons of telemetry,
:21:25. > :21:33.a huge amount of information. The systems these days are so good
:21:34. > :21:36.that we can see that car across the entire lap
:21:37. > :21:38.of every circuit we go to. When it comes past the pit we get
:21:39. > :21:42.a burst of data from it to get While the race is going,
