The Draw

[high-pitched humming escalates]

Hi.

I'm Alec.

Love these.

Make everything so much less...awkward.

Can I get you a drink?

I like your dress.

Look, I'm not here for small talk.

Oh.

Course not.

Who is?

With the latest upgrade, you can change people's clothing.

Yeah. Your outfit isn't the problem.

Well, you can also, um, make other amendments.

Excellent.

Good evening, Tara.

I have made some amendments.

No. Too young.

How about this?

-Taller. -I have made those changes.

Too old. -Satisfied?

No. Not the nose. Smaller nose.

How does this look?

-Bit more hair. -Sure thing.

How about now?

Saved to your favorites.

Well, hello, boy.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I must say, I have been thinking about this,

you...

-all day. -Really?

I-I might say I've been pretty excited about this too.

But work takes up a lot of my focus,

-so it's nice to be able to-- -Yeah. I think we should

just stick to the script.

Yeah. Yeah, much better.

"I've...been

thinking about you all day."

Does the update change your voice?

-Yes, just head to-- Got it.

Voice changed. -Oh, there's a performance

-filter too--let's add that. -Performance feature added.

Yeah. That's a new feature.

Excellent. Let's start again.

Well, hello, boy.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I must say, I have been thinking about this,

about you...

all day.

I been thinking about you all day too.

Alec, are you satisfied with what you see?

I'll be seeing you again.

Good morning, Alec.

Please connect your EyeLight.

Watch today's headlines on your Eyeglass,

and remember, because privacy is key,

only you will see.

And--and that is your message now, isn't it?

That's the message you want to get over to people

to have that life they want.

One of the uses of digitization

is now maybe to... to start facilitating people

to live the life they want to live

rather than the life they had.

If we look back over decades or centuries,

society defines itself.

There's a contract between, uh, society and the individual

about, uh, how we live

and the protection that society affords people.

And we can reframe that and redesign that any way we like.

I have recognized that technology

is a way to deal with social alienation

and to help people become more connected.

"The Draw" is just one example of an immersive experience

which we can all share together.

Welcome to the city, Alec.

That was the Prime Minister talking exclusively to you,

and here's Perry and Mal with the entertainment news.

Welcome back, world. Your girl Perry

and your guy Mal here,

your favorite hostess of the mostess,

and today, we're here to talk to you about

all the wonderful things about the EyeLight upgrade!

What I found with the new EyeLight

is that I've not only upgraded like my life

-but also my friends. -Oh!

Because it's made them more interesting and better.

Like with performance mode, they're far more interesting

than they ever were. So please do write in...

Hi. I'm Alec.

You must be my 1 p.m.

So you're here for your new avatar.

If you could just stand

in the middle of the square for me...

And I will disconnect your EyeLight

Okay. If you'd like to look at me?

Avatar scanning.

Avatar scanning.

Avatar creation complete.

Sorry. What are you waiting on?

If you can just keep your eyes on me.

So what happens to the old ones then?

Uh, they are wiped and then disposed of.

So if you now lift up your Eyeglass,

you should be able to see your updated image.

Welcome, Clive.

Wow. It's very sexy, yes.

- -You'll see the clothes rack

next to you is full of outfit options,

and the image station is right behind your back.

Touch any item, and your avatar will update.

If you want to make any cosmetic changes,

just speak what you want into the mirror

and the avatar creation software will update it for you.

So everyone'll be able to see what I look like right now?

Everyone wearing an EyeLight

will be able to see your new avatar, yes.

So what about those who don't wear EyeLights?

Yeah, we're--we're working on that one.

How else can I assist you, Clive?

I brought some of my old things to be scanned for my library.

Great! I'll...

have your digital library backdated

with your new avatar and items.

Avatar scanning.

Avatar scanning.

Avatar creation complete.

Sorry. If you could just look at me.

Why are you staring at me?

Sorry, the system's just lagging.

Welcome, Kerry.

It's pretty impressive, isn't it?

Did you have far to travel today?

I'll be a minute.

-Alan. -Alec.

-That's not my name. -No, my name's Alec.

Look, we've got an issue with you.

I-I've met all my monthly targets already.

You take longer than every other AC,

and we've had more complaints recently about your--

-I'm just trying to be friendly. -Well, friendly is not

how people have been describing you.

We need every customer experience

to be positive and fast.

How else are we gonna get to 100%?

I just feel like the best way to show off the tech

is to try and make a connection.

But you make people feel uncomfortable,

or worse, offended.

Look, we can't have setbacks on the way to 100%.

-Yep. -Yeah?

So, stick to the script, turn them out quick...

-Like a computer. -Perfect.

You're a faster learner, Alan.

It's Alec.

Mate.

Mate.

Look, if you want the respect

and you wanna be seen as an asset, then...

you've gotta play the game.

I-I'm struggling.

I don't know how to build a connection with the clients.

I've--

Well, I think, Alec...

you can take comfort in the fact that it can't get any worse.

-So the only way is up. -Mm.

And don't worry about Tim.

Just follow me and you'll be all right.

Remember. Keep it calm, keep it cool, keep it quick.

And if someone comes in that you like the look of,

just copy their avatar to your favorites. Boom.

And listen.

When I'm running this place, and I will, I'll hook you up.

Oh, speaking of, Tara said that she had fun.

Said that she's keen to add you

to her regular rotation.

Mmm!

Thank you.

Um, I'm gonna take those to...upload.

-Yeah. -Will you look after my clients?

-Oh, yeah, sure. -Thanks, buddy.

With pleasure.

Hi. Hi, what's your name?

-Kerry. -Kerry. Lovely to meet you.

I'm Zane. Um, I actually think this one's a bit nicer.

Scanning.
