For Huawei who sponsored this video The answer is in the building behind me where we're gonna be the first Western media to ever check out the science behind the sport modes of their GT6 Pro and Ultimate two watches they've got indoor facilities for rock climbing basketball golfing and even swimming plus an outdoor bike route through a European style village whatever that means for developing and validating their workout modes that rely on GPS and mapping like their new Virtual power feature. I'm almost afraid to find out how much power I generate. Let's hope it's not too embarrassing Let's get into it This place is like the ultimate adult playground for tech enthusiasts and gym rats alike in the center of the 200 meter track That runs outside then back inside the building is their motion capture court It's set up for basketball and badminton right now, but nothing prevents it from being used for other sports It's got a ring of 30 10,000 frame per second motion capture cameras all around the outside of it with millimeter level accuracy and in the past They've also used specialized 3d scanners even higher speed cameras and 3d force platforms along with the compute system that belongs to the Chinese Sports Authority to work with team China Olympic athletes I'm no Olympic athlete, but I told them I would love to try out the motion capture apparently it takes about an hour to get started So we better get going they've got to put down a reference point set up some regular cameras so that we have actual video and not just the Motion capture dots. I've got to put this over my swoosh Not because they're worried about the branding But because it could interfere with the tracking and then this was kind of cool They just have this wand that they kind of wave around in order to calibrate the system I had to take my earrings off because the motion capture cameras are looking for these reflective dots So those of you in the audience who have been asking for this for all these years. You're finally getting your wish Regular viewers might know that out of all the sports we're testing today badminton is the only one that I really play So while I wait for them to build my model I'm gonna go ahead and do a couple of quick footwork drills just to try out their badminton modes got to be ready to move Anywhere on the court at any given moment. That was not very good footwork, but I have not done enough footwork lately and stuff Highly aerobic and fat burning anyone who thinks badminton is not exercise Not playing it right I apparently sweat so much during that short session that we're having trouble getting the dots to stick back on me Under normal circumstances, they would use a bodysuit for this like you can see they're sticking to my clothes just fine But we had to get a little creative here Hey, all right, so I go do my shot. I go do my other shot. I go up Lift oh, that's so cool Dang So you can see the hip triangle right there Got the leg wire frame now To do it properly they need to do post-processing and post analysis So we're working on maybe getting the file for this But in the preview alone you can see how something like this could be very useful for form analysis The motion capture system supports all kinds of different sports that can be played on a flat surface Including court games like basketball This one I don't know how well I'm gonna be able to demo though Imagine the basketball skills of a short-weight Canadian Now imagine that he isn't Steve Nash Fortunately, there's lots more to see like the courts this treadmill is Packed to the gills with sensors for biometrics and motion capture and analysis It supports the obvious things like walking and running but also some less obvious stuff like biking Skiing and even skateboarding Can I try skateboarding on it? He really didn't want me to do that before we rolled the camera, but we talked him into it I'm not a skateboarder. So this is gonna be something uh-huh Safety step one is to get into the harness that acts as an emergency stop So if I pulled down on this the treadmill cuts out Go Okay, we'll start with a light walk Okay, that's not really a light walk anymore heart rate increasing 95 97 Going a little faster I don't know how fast that is but now it's starting to get pretty fast. Give me a little bit more Man, that's probably about as fast as I can Yeah, so I was a minute of running I might need more cardio in my life Obviously I didn't run enough to get a real workout. That's why I'm not sweating right now But it was enough for us to get a little bit of analytics here and apparently my ground contact time is excellent Now, let's see how quickly I contact the ground on the skateboard. Okay, I Haven't even attempted to ride a skateboard since I was probably in high school. Okay. We ready. This is going to be disastrous It's a little funky because it's more of a like You know a push type of sport and the treadmill is consistent, you know Okay, can I whoo, uh-huh. Yeah, sure I could skateboard Whoa, okay, I Can tell from all the marks on the wall that's not the first time that happened Just like everything we've seen so far their rock climbing wall was built so that they can compare The data that they get off of their watches to the data that they get with a golden standard like motion capture or in this case Climbing against a calibrated height, which is exactly 10.5 meters Personally, I just think he really likes rock climbing and he wanted to expense this wall, but they won't confirm that. Oh God Yeah, I'm not gonna do well at this No, no, no, I Am totally using my arms too much. I know it and I'm still doing it What the heck? Yay Now one of the coolest safety features of the GT6 Pro is of course its fall detection, but While you can measure climbing altitude with sensors and real people You can't exactly drop real people off the top of this structure. So what do they do? That's where my good friends comes in. Let's just get this watch on you there, buddy Nice You okay buddy So in an emergency the watch will automatically call emergency services either through eSIM If available like it is on the ultimate 2 or through the Bluetooth connection to your phone like with the GT6 Pro Now this is cool They built a small pool that can be temperature controlled anywhere from 5 to 45 degrees Celsius and has a paddle at one end That can create a current of up to one and a half meters per second It's designed to simulate real-world conditions and uses a combination of underwater sensors and cameras to track your speed Heart rate calorie burn and even your stroke form for later analysis Let's see how I do with the watch ultimate 2 Look at that and even me what stroke I was doing warm up. Come on man. I'm trying here. Let's turn it up to maximum That's pretty fast. I wouldn't be able to do that for very long Heart rate went up a little faster that time And it says I'm not just warming up Thank you watch appreciate you Another use case they can test in here is scuba and that's a major focus for the watch ultimate 2 It's rated for submersion to 150 meters and has all kinds of essential features like a compass and dive tracker Another really cool feature is called diver comms It allows you to send underwater pre-programmed messages emojis and SOS to other Huawei watch ultimate 2 users using sonic pulses. This is pretty huge I don't know if you guys know this but my wife almost died in a dive accident once because as it turns out the gestures for come Here and share air look basically the same when you're doing a night dive Fortunately by the time she said out of there I had already come here and I was able to give her my backup read So I am very pro anything that enhances underwater communication This is cool. Who needs top golf when you have Huawei golf all we do is fire up the golf analysis on the watch Hit this button and we're ready to go. I Have not golfed much And it shows We can do better we can do better. Oh That's so mean it says I suck. No, I'm kidding. It doesn't say that. Okay. I'll try hitting the ball this time. That'll be good Okay, ready Yeah, that's a little low into the outside Even worse than last time. Oh, that's cool. It shows you the video of your last stroke. Check this out The watch includes little coaching insights like how to grip the club and how to swing Or maybe for most people it doesn't and that's just because it saw how I did it Unsurprisingly given the sports popularity in China, there are two table tennis setups one that has an automatic ball tracking system and A second out on the motion capture floor with an automated feeding robot. Okay, this I have to try. Oh My god Ah Okay, well we found yet another sport I suck at but I'm told not to feel too bad because Apparently this can be configured to feed with the same spin and placement as a professional coach. So I Don't think that was the highest level we were on just now, but let's ignore that Apparently we're not moving on we're gonna do the professional Oh What the heck They've got lots of options for cycling exercise bikes the multi-purpose treadmill We saw before and of course the orange track all of those can be used for the same kind of analysis We've discussed already something we can't do in the lab though is simulate actual real world movement And that is where the European village comes in this was a themed Construction project for their R&D center and offices, but it also happens to be a picturesque biking route So we're gonna be checking out the true sport system on the GT6 Pro in real time now Obviously it relies on biometrics like your heart rate blood oxygen ECG all that kind of stuff But it also relies on environmental factors like your real-world speed and even the type of bike You're using in order to get an accurate calculation for your virtual power now all that remains is to see what kind of score I can get ripping through here. I Don't remember the last time I rode a bike, but hey, you know what they say it's like riding a bike Let's go don't mind me in my European village I'm coming around to the LMG town idea after all Okay, okay, I had enough for now Let's check the virtual power My longest ride 1.3 kilometers. No way that was 1.3 kilometers. It can't be What is it? I don't know who knows okay? stretch blah blah speed Okay, what do we got? total elevation gain Where's my virtual power maximum heart rate 150 zero minutes in extreme heart rate Virtual power all right. I peaked at 289 watts of virtual power and Actually, if my cycling machine at the gym is anything to go by that's probably About right when I'm going really hard. I'm not like a professional athlete or anything like that pretty cool What of information in here with the lab tour complete? It's time to take a closer look at the products that we feature today And what better place to do it than Huawei's flagship store in Nanshan then I'm trying to imagine the meeting with the architect for this place We want it to look hyper-modern, but we need it to be functional We want customers to be able to interact with small electronic devices like laptops smartphones and wearables Oh and also much bigger ones like cars and it should have an interactive smart home showcase powered by AI Also, could you squeeze in some stadium seating for large group meetings? That would be great. Thanks. And yes somehow they understood the assignment and Absolutely nailed it Let's start with the watch we were using during our cycling test and on the climbing wall the GT6 Pro The design of this watch was laser focused on athletic users It's got sapphire glass for high durability and a wide variety of bands both sport friendly Not sweat absorbent and also more fashion oriented It offers up to 21 days of battery life in its most power conservative mode and features a 3000 nit display for outdoor use it's got altitude monitoring and what they call sunflower Navigation which basically means it can connect to up to six different navigational satellites for sub eight meter positional accuracy That is super important for uses like jogging and cycling where it's hard to say exactly how hard you're working If the watch can't tell where you are and where you're going the other one we feature today is so new It's not even on the showroom yet the watch ultimate to in a nutshell It does everything the GT6 Pro does but better So it's still a highly capable sport watch just with a touch more style and some extras the underwater Communication that we saw in the pool. It's great for diving. That's exclusive to this model It also has eSIM and more accurate blood monitoring thanks to a side-mounted sensor that they call X-Tab Another product we were using today, but has been hidden away in my pocket is the Mate X6 which is Damn, is that ever a thin foldable phone? And yet it still manages to have a 5100 milliamp hour battery It comes with a variety of different back materials including leather and IPX8 water resistance Also, they're extremely proud of how flat their hinge folds on the subject of foldable devices The main book fold here is a China only laptop that I Wouldn't mind having in North America the screen is 13 inches in clamshell mode But it's got a party trick where it expands to 18 inches in its kickstand mode It supports multitasking and pretty incredible gesture-based window management that really shows how far harmony OS has come in the last few years Now we're in for a special treat We're in the Ito M9 and we're gonna be checking out its advanced driver assist features that allow us to take our hands completely off the wheel Which I gotta say seeing the traffic patterns here Sketches me out a little bit. Hopefully it's all good And this I think makes my point about the traffic patterns And it's packed with other features some you might expect like large interior displays and support for phone projection But others you might not expect like support for Projection at all. There's a theater in the back and the seats for client all the way What? That was super cool.
