your hard work noxious 2014 coverage is brought to you by and say XCOM technology connected hey guys so I'm three tree we just finished off with the nvidia 2014 CS press conference and they announced a few awesome features new awesome line of products that we were going to talk to you about some of the things that they did also bring up was game stream so the ability to stream to your shield one awesome aspect was they brought up the whole cloud streaming so they were streaming batman arkham origins all the way from friends pewter and friends was rendering out this game and streaming it to shield here in Las Vegas there was a little bit of lag that we that was visible but this technology is still very impressive for the potential future of this game stream technology for gaming next thing is g-sync obviously it gets rid of all the tearing and there's no lag so it has very interesting implications for gaming and what analysis and quarter to they will be 27 inch 1440p monitors available which is really interesting and really excited to see finally those high resolution g-sync monitors to be available on the market the next big thing is the Tegra k1 it's a processor with 192 cuda cores based on the kepler architecture they showed us some few demos and they looked amazing for a mobile chip like this they will be releasing a dual cpu based off the denver cpus which will be the arm v8 64-bit processor so allowing better multitasking it's going to be a little bit of faster mobile chip processor but again the showing where this whole Tegra architecture is going it will be interesting to see how many OMS will be taking this technology taking the Tegra k1 processor and incorporating it into the mobile world but from what we've seen it's a very powerful chip and also since the next Unreal Engine the Unreal Engine 4 will be used with the Tegra k1 so that's very impressive the graphics on this engine is again on a mobile system was very interesting to see and it looked great shaders physics diamond dynamic volume a lot of particle effects and all that stuff and look look really good for a mobile chip now the next thing for nvidia is they're pushing towards the automobile sector and they've announced that the gay one the TK one will be used in a lot of the cars particularly for a digital dashboard so allowing you to customize the look of your dashboard the type of textures it will have so you can have rubber can have concrete you have glossy you have a tons of color customization to match the color of your interior to match the color of your car all that implications and in total of four processors will be used inside a car but not only this will be sort of powered for the digital dashboard and just giving you a better experience for user interface inside the car but this also has implications for driver assistance so it will detect it how far away from a car in front of you it will be tackling the lanes you will provide warnings when you are sort of closing close to the car in front of you it will detect the speed sign so you're aware of what the speed limit is in your zone so a lot of driving assistant features will be incorporated and will be run all on this Tegra k1 processor so very impressive things from Nvidia here at CES 2014 so now let's actually go ahead and take sort of a closer look and how this digital dashboard will work and how this k one processor is incorporates a das or this assistant driving for your car all right guys so we're here taking a look at something that is completely brand-new that we're seeing here at CES 2014 and that's the nvidia k1 now one of the things we want to take a look at was the a das system can you give us a little bit of a breakdown it's exactly what we're seeing that sure a task so it's also stands for advanced driver assistance systems is something that's becoming a part of more and more cars today things like blind spot monitor and lane departure warning adaptive cruise control are starting to appear and some pretty high-end cars and even moving down into the mainstream I think the difference is when never car makers put those features in the car each one requires its own special box with a special processor that's a lot of costs of the car it adds a lot of extra wiring that's a lot of extra power consumption the power of the new Tegra k1 with 192 cores is that it can perform a lot of functions that are used in a TAS computer vision and in this case what we're seeing here on the screen is a forward-facing camera feeding a basic video feed into the Tegra k1 and we're analyzing that video detecting where the lane boundaries are we're detecting street signs as they pass by so we can alert the driver what the proper speed limit is we're able to recognize other vehicles and so we can detect whether the car is approaching us at a high rate of speed or slow rate of speed or accelerating away from us and based on that information then the car maker would take appropriate action they may do a beep to alert the driver there may be a warning that would flash where the car may automatically break itself if it was a collision avoidance system now do you foresee this as being like a standard safety equipment that you can automatically update going forward is it sort of like future-proof that's one way to look at it can the our module so the Tegra k1 is a mobile processor again with 192 super course the vcm is a visual computing module so we have an automotive grade version of our mobile processor that means it can sustain very low temperatures like minus 40 Celsius 85 celsus so kind of extreme temperature environments you have in a car but also then it's able to do very high end processing so you can envision the software in the car being updated over the life of the car to add new capabilities awesome another really cool thing that we saw today was this stuff right over here which is basically you're able to customize your experience in the vehicle by everything you can see on the dashboard can you give us a little bit more information on this so over here again we're using that same Tegra k1 processor but in this case we're using the GPU to do really advanced rendering much like car designers are using our quadro processors to in their workstations do all the styling and design in photorealistic rendering now we're enabling that level of graphics to appear inside the car and so here in this instrument cluster that's being shown we're customizing using different materials so over here is actually a material Explorer so you can select whether you want titanium brushed metals or carbon fiber glass or plastic or car paint and all the different elements of the graphics then are applied and rendered photo realistically so essentially you could customize the look and feel of your own vehicle now would this be done in in dealership using a tablet it that's one scenario sure of dealerships could enable you to kind of build your own custom car but once you have the vehicle there's no reason why you couldn't on a smartphone or your own tablet design your vehicle interface or choose the materials you want and upload that into the vehicle itself so in other words this technology is basically enabling everybody to have endless customizability of their driving experience that's right I think what we're going to see is a movement toward a software-defined car it was a very powerful computing platform made by Nvidia that ends up powering a lot of different features in the car could be the instrument cluster could be the infotainment system here it could be rear seat entertainment systems and also then the advanced driver systems so a lot of new processing technology coming into the cars as we announced we have over 4.5 million cars on the road today with NVIDIA processors inside and a pipeline basically of another 25 million more to come that were contracted for over the next several years so guys that's some pretty big news and chance are that sometime in the near future at least you're probably gonna be buying a brand-new vehicle with probably something as strong as this in it ok guys so taking a look at this g-sync monitor from AOC it's a 1920 x 1080 but one of the biggest things that I'm going to tell you about this monitor is that it's life changing I I don't know if there's any other way I can explain it you need to see it for yourself as a gamer this is chick that changes everything everything that I knew about gaming and tearing and stutter is gone alright so do to really demonstrate the power of the Tegra k1 processor they're here they're running a real-time face works demo on the tablet so you can see exactly what type of effects are like oily skin so it turns it to into sort of an animated face into an almost real realistic looking face all rendered in real time still no a choppy at like 30 FPS and drops at some points but still and the mobile mobile platform it shows the true potential of where this tegra processor could go right behind me to-- is what's even more impressive this is a Tegra k1 running dual 4k TV so this is a I guess a more much larger 4k TV but that one is also being rendered so dual 4k TVs being rendered in real time simultaneously without any hiccup very impressive again for this chip that's able to run this much of resolution much run at these high resolutions with these displays and you're in videos come on the ball with CES 2014 introductions so take a k1 has a lot of implications not just for mobile computing but as we've seen for the automobile industry so again you guys make sure to subscribe for at the rest of our CES 2014 coverage
