Hi, I'm Amelia.
I'm a research professional, at BT focusing on network physics.
Welcome to day two of British Science week, today
we're focusing on Smart Cities.
Hi, I'm Evandro.
I'm a research professional at BT, looking at the Internet of things and Smart Cities.
So today the first video features Ian Neild of BT and he will be
talking about IOT, air pollution is NO2 laughing matter.
So let's find out how Smart Cities can capture data on transport systems
and show it in real time, to make our lives better and the air we breathe safer.
We've got some really amazing activities for you to take part in.
So today we're gonna be building a domino alarm.
That's an unplugged activity.
Where are we gonna be building an intruder alarm based on domino pieces.
Our second feature is from the University of Manchester.
They've combined virtual reality gaming and 3D cinema technology
to create a digital twin of the City of Manchester.
And don't forget if you're watching this video on the day of release you can join our live Q&A.
Scroll downto the bottom of the page and ask our expects your questions, completely for free.
If you're watching post release,
you can watch the recorded Q&A,
so you're not missing out.
Air polution is so critical for our well being.
Just one of the things we're looking at today.
Evandro,
I know you're really interested in Smart Cities,
but how can Smart Cities teach us about air pollution and help us improve quality of life?
Yeah, sure, Amelia.
So what we're doing a BT is basically connecting everything, everywhere.
So what we're doing is
we're putting sensors and connecting these sensors to the Internet
so that we can capture data in real time.
So data from transportation, like where the buses are in real time and how
much emissions they are and how much pollution they are emitting.
We're also connecting things like tram's so that we can know where tram's
are gonna be crossing streets so that we can plan the traffic.
Hence, if we have less traffic,
we have less air pollution.
And if we have less air pollution,
we have a better quality of life.
We hope you enjoy today's subject.
Thanks for watching, goodbye
