:01:02. > :01:05.Yeah, not so much of the stretch these days, is it? Batteries are

:01:17. > :01:23.innovations since the moving production line and they are both
:01:24. > :01:26.happening at about the same time. -- electrification. It is Tesla that
:01:27. > :01:32.has been spearheading the drive to electric. We first took on for a
:01:33. > :01:36.spin in 2007 and since then the electric vehicle has gone from
:01:37. > :01:43.sporty status symbol to a slightly less sporty status symbol. But
:01:44. > :01:50.dominating the conversation at the moment, not Tesla's latest models,
:01:51. > :01:54.but concerns over the safety of its driver assist autopilot feature,
:01:55. > :01:59.after it was involved in two crashes and one fatality. But while the law
:02:00. > :02:06.is get to work on the autonomous site, they are getting ready for a
:02:07. > :02:09.electric prime time. The space in the floor is full of batteries and
:02:10. > :02:14.Tesla is going to need a lot of them. Dave Lee has been to Nevada to
:02:15. > :02:21.witness the opening of the Gigafactory. Welcome to Reno, in
:02:22. > :02:25.Nevada, which if you have never been here is like a less glamorous
:02:26. > :02:29.version of Las Vegas. They call this place the biggest little city in the
:02:30. > :02:34.world and soon the city will be overrun I these things. Tesla are
:02:35. > :02:43.building what will be one of the biggest factories ever made. Say
:02:44. > :02:47.hello to the Gigafactory. Right now it is only 14% finished, if you can
:02:48. > :02:52.believe that, and when it is finished the complex will cover over
:02:53. > :02:58.3000 acres. This factory is the crucial part of the master plan set
:02:59. > :03:05.out the boss of Tesla. When he published his latest Idlib master
:03:06. > :03:10.plan for what to do with Tesla he said he now want to do things like
:03:11. > :03:15.lorries and buses. -- latest master plan. The do that he need to make a
:03:16. > :03:19.lot more trees, which is what this place is for. In total the plant is
:03:20. > :03:25.expected to cost around $5 billion to build. We were given a sneak peek
:03:26. > :03:29.of what was inside. Most of the factory was sadly off-limits to our
:03:30. > :03:35.cameras. The plan is to basically speed things up a little bit. Right
:03:36. > :03:38.now Tesla have to ship battery sales across the ocean from Asia, which
:03:39. > :03:43.takes a long time and is very expensive. Do they want to make
:03:44. > :03:48.battery cells right here instead. A promised that by 2018 bid will be
:03:49. > :03:53.able to produce enough batteries for 500,000 cars each year. And it won't
:03:54. > :03:59.just be car batteries. Their home and business energy storage unit
:04:00. > :04:05.will be put together here. I believe we are on track to meet the 500,020
:04:06. > :04:09.18. Long-term this will make sense, to have a Gigafactory in Europe and
:04:10. > :04:14.one in China and probably one in India. Very big plans, although he
:04:15. > :04:18.might want to concentrate on finishing this factory first. Tesla
:04:19. > :04:23.has meant a lot of deadlines in the past and I would be surprised if
:04:24. > :04:26.something is slipped. I went to the Fremont factory before it opened and
:04:27. > :04:29.it was a ghost yard there as well, but they've done some amazing thing
:04:30. > :04:35.there and I think they will do amazing things here as well. But not
:04:36. > :04:40.everything is going smoothly. Do you have any regrets about how Tesla
:04:41. > :04:47.rolled out autopilot? No, I think we did the right thing. We have the
:04:48. > :04:54.internal data to know that we improved people's safety, not just
:04:55. > :04:58.in fatalities but also injuries. It is pretty fair to say that only Elon
:04:59. > :05:03.Musk could pull off something like the Gigafactory and of all the
:05:04. > :05:07.things he is working on it is surely this project that will make or break
:05:08. > :05:13.it. That was Dave Lee at the
:05:14. > :05:16.Gigafactory. Along with electric and self driving cars, and other trend
:05:17. > :05:21.which is quietly chugging its way towards changing the world is 3D
:05:22. > :05:24.printing. It is still niche but already the variety of things that
:05:25. > :05:31.can be 3D printed is impressive. Just this week Food Ink bought its
:05:32. > :05:40.3D printed restaurant in London, where diners could tuck into 3D
:05:41. > :05:44.printed food, while using 3D printed cutlery and 3D printed chairs. They
:05:45. > :05:47.told me it was fish and chips but I was very curious how it looked like.
:05:48. > :05:52.I think it is the future for the restaurants, yes. Almost anything
:05:53. > :05:58.you can imagine and anything you can put into pure a form or paste can be
:05:59. > :06:04.moved so elaborate leap right 3D printed, and then it can be further
:06:05. > :06:08.improved or solidified by other manual steps later. We are already
:06:09. > :06:11.developing such printers that can combine these steps in one, so the
:06:12. > :06:16.next step will be printers that have a built-in microwave or offered and
:06:17. > :06:21.some of these steps chefs won't have to manually. But here is a useful 3D
:06:22. > :06:26.printing that I wasn't expecting to hear about any time soon. In China,
:06:27. > :06:31.the most important ceremony of your life is module verse and not your
:06:32. > :06:35.wedding, it is your funeral. Dan Simmons has been to Shanghai to see

:06:43. > :06:48.This is such a sacred moment in Chinese culture that we've not been
:06:49. > :06:53.allowed to film the open cofffin. Here, seeing the dead body
:06:54. > :06:59.face-to-face is a fundamental part of saying goodbye. But what happens
:07:00. > :07:07.when there's nothing left to say goodbye to? These devastating
:07:08. > :07:13.explosions rocked a port city last August. Hundreds of people died
:07:14. > :07:16.horrifically in one moment. What was left of the bodies bore no
:07:17. > :07:23.resemblance to the victims when they were alive. And there were far too
:07:24. > :07:28.many dead for the traditional model is in China to recreate the faces in
:07:29. > :07:33.good time for all of the funerals. The disaster was the reason one firm
:07:34. > :07:41.turns to making 3D printed faces of the dead. More lifelike than party
:07:42. > :07:46.and cutting the waiting time from one or two weeks to a single day.
:07:47. > :07:51.One Shanghai funeral home claims to be able to reconstruct a face to

:07:56. > :07:59.need videos on seven clean shots of the person from several different
:08:00. > :08:05.angles, they just need one good picture of the person who has died.

:12:03. > :12:06.with it. Explain more. It applies really extreme filters to still
:12:07. > :12:07.images. Filters that make a photograph look like an illustration
:12:08. > :12:18.or a painting. It is an application that can make
:12:19. > :12:22.your photos look like they were painted by Picasso. How does it
:12:23. > :12:29.work? I talked to the creator on Skype. You take a photo on your
:12:30. > :12:39.phone. Then we process it on a device. Then you send a photo to the
:12:40. > :12:47.cloud and we have several people doing different parts of the image
:12:48. > :12:54.processing. Then we redraw your image based on a style you choose.
:12:55. > :13:00.Then you get the result on your device. You haven't just stopped at
:13:01. > :13:06.photos, have you? I was playing with it and thought, this is Click and we
:13:07. > :13:11.tend to take technology to the extremes and push stuff to the age
:13:12. > :13:15.so it gets a nosebleed. It would be nice to apply this to moving images
:13:16. > :13:20.as well. Unfortunately this application does not support video,
:13:21. > :13:32.only for still images. But moving images are just lots of stills put
:13:33. > :13:36.together, right? Film is just a series of still images played in
:13:37. > :13:43.sequence very quickly. So I took an old sketch with Spencer and I as
:13:44. > :13:48.cowboys and exported every single frame as a still image. Once they
:13:49. > :13:52.were imported back on my phone I applied the same filter to each
:13:53. > :14:00.individual frame. I used a particular filter called Eisenberg.
:14:01. > :14:04.This created a hand drawn effects which created a short film that
:14:05. > :14:13.looks like it had been rotoscoped, an old technique that traces over
:14:14. > :14:17.footage of real movement by artists. Then it is animated similar to a
:14:18. > :14:22.flip book. Exporting them into imaging software and playing them
:14:23. > :14:27.one after the other and you get a short animated film. And it looks
:14:28. > :14:34.like I have turned my phone into a flipbook. That is brilliant. How
:14:35. > :14:39.long did that take you? Nine days. Full marks for perseverance. We will
:14:40. > :14:42.put the whole worker Vaka on line. Here is a brief taste of what it
:14:43. > :14:54.looks like. Prisma have plans to make its
:14:55. > :14:58.filters work on 360 degrees photos as well as working on video footage.
:14:59. > :15:00.That means in the future you won't have to go through that process that

:15:24. > :15:27.less sleep a night than people did in the 1960s? Well, distractions
:15:28. > :15:30.from our gadgets and even the specific wavelengths of light from
:15:31. > :15:35.our mobile devices are taking some of the blame. But at the same time,
:15:36. > :15:43.technology to help that our sleep has upped its game. If you share a
:15:44. > :15:47.bed with someone who gets up at a different time to you then these
:15:48. > :15:52.earplugs could help because they mean that the alarm goes off only in
:15:53. > :15:57.the years of their wearer. At the same time they should block out any
:15:58. > :16:02.unwanted noise. They can also play soothing sounds as you go off to
:16:03. > :16:06.sleep. Even though I don't normally wear earplugs I could get used to
:16:07. > :16:11.the feeling of them. The only issue is that I need to wake up when my
:16:12. > :16:14.three-year-old does. But if you would rather cover your eyes then
:16:15. > :16:20.your tea is then you may be interested in this, this mask. --
:16:21. > :16:24.ears. It has been a long time in the making and I first got my hands on
:16:25. > :16:29.it at The Consumer Electronics Show earlier this year. It has these
:16:30. > :16:32.electronic lights to help you go to sleep and will give you advice as to
:16:33. > :16:36.when you should go to sleep to get the best results. It may add buys
:16:37. > :16:41.you to take a power nap in the day and to make sure you don't get into

:19:36. > :19:41.movements to get to sleep and shorten the time of sleep onset and
:19:42. > :19:47.to improve quality during the night. What works for children also works
:19:48. > :19:52.for adults, though little is known about which rocking techniques work
:19:53. > :19:56.best. That is what the team here have been studying. What have you
:19:57. > :20:02.discovered so far? What is the best rocking method? That is a good
:20:03. > :20:10.question. We found there is one best movement. A rocking movement like
:20:11. > :20:14.now you see. But there is a different preference for each
:20:15. > :20:21.person. That makes a challenging to make a product for the people. Can I
:20:22. > :20:25.have a go? Of course. The bed is actually a classic example of how
:20:26. > :20:29.research sometimes accidentally creates a new invention. The team
:20:30. > :20:32.needed to study different rocking movements, so they built a bed that
:20:33. > :20:41.could do different rocking movements. GROANS. And they needed
:20:42. > :20:49.motors that were quite enough to sleep on top of. So they invented
:20:50. > :20:54.them. -- quiet. It is smooth. It was challenging to develop that smooths
:20:55. > :21:03.movement without any sound. -- smooth. Carry on talking. And the
