on the one hand that strengthens the objectification of what is human of the human body often the female body it's all that's on the other hand these robots bring very antiquated very gender stereotypical relationship dynamics back into the bedroom. and then show off to a lot of. both sex robots can also be useful the foundation for responsible robotics think it can be used therapeutically for sexual healing. professor thomas pressure on things humans can develop real feelings for sex robots. to distract from. i strongly suspect that we will be quick to build a personal relationship with these devices. i'm pretty sure that owners of such appliances won't take long to name that dulls proposition and it sometimes doesn't want this relationship to be one sided that's why he tries to construct his dollars to be as human like and emotional as possible but for example if i touch in the

hunt. i can. and that leads to the question of what makes us human in the first place. the sense of the self who. why do i think i am myself what making me decide that these is me this is one of the of the things that i was always interested me and that made me think of american fiction for a brain. love life. or problematic these new sexual companions are going to take some getting used to. says no to humanoid sex slaves. and no networkers digital innovators committed to special projects today we need game designer to look around. when he was

a teen i was forced to flee from syria he came to austria without his family one way for him to forget the war was to play computer games. i was just like. trying to escape that as much as i can with playing video games when there is electricity on when it's war in syria and you're eighteen more than eighteen years old then you must join the military if you're going to join the military it's either to kill someone or get killed. he wanted to share his gaming passion and tell others about his fate so with the help of developers that specialize in social issues he created path out here players assume doulos role and learn about day to day life in a war zone and what being a refugee is like throughout the game the real abdulla caramba appears in pepper's grey situations with silly cliches. come on i mean you don't have gallows in the

from recordings are made in so-called value metric video studios like value can at the bubbles bag film park near berlin in the design hundred confirmed the actors come in and off filmed and each detail is automatically recorded without any further steps needed every wrinkle in my movements in my expressions in my gestures it captures my every movement if you. want it this volumetric studio was four metres high and equipped with thirty do i take cameras making it able to film actors from all angles simultaneously then special software creates a three d. holograms of the characters that can be inserted into any scene. terabytes ammend that means we're recording an extremely large and complex data set because if you were to copy that onto ordinary c.d.'s it would take about three thousand altogether i told. movie makers like canadian stefan reach we are now exploring the

new possibilities this technology offers but it's not enough to know how to use it producers need to create a new method of storytelling. and i do you do with the world when people can watch three sixty degree but it just like in real life we need to keep the attention center so the film maker is not moving to camera because. you have to can write you watching whatever you want to watch but then those sound special sound so we can do acting and you did and if you were and depending on the will you be you might see or not see something so you have ways to add two and three and that narrative depending on the behavior of the person in the content with a three hundred sixty degree panorama viewers can discover new worlds and take on unusual perspectives such as that of a toy robot seeing the world through his eyes shows those things in a totally new light. you can explore

together new forms of storytelling so that's where you know i don't see. we put see many of you guys it would put you off but i think cinema has its own language and its own reason to be and i think in many vo we have to explore what it could be we still don't know what it could be three d. holograms of actors could become a valuable tool but picture quality is not balanced enough to produce full length feature films yes. there's been some use to physicians i'm sure it'll make rapid advances and that other production science will spring up around the world right now there's only a handful of these kinds of studios from disney about the mall there are more standards and quality will improve and then it will make a breakthrough in the market. with system of more mark three floors. initial projects have already been completed using these new three d. recordings and by twenty nineteen volumetric studios are expected to be firmly
