The latter was demonstrated by Intel at its developer forum (IDF) where it showed a racing game that used RealSense to see which why the driver was facing and moved the image correspondingly. The technology makes it possible to create instant 3D maps. Thanks to technologies like Intel Smart Sound, Cortana will wake up even if the PC is powered down and RealSense’s ability to bring the power of human sight to a computing device will mean that the Relay Robot from Savioke will be able to find its way around a hotel alleyway without bumping into guests.

New processors don’t really generate the excitement they once did, but processors based on Intel’s new Skylake architecture are still going to ship in tens of millions of computers before the end of the year.
At their developer’s conference, Intel unveiled a reference design for a 3D camera smartphone – and their collaboration with Project Tango.
“We’re incredibly excited to work with Intel and OSVR on advancing the development of virtual reality with Intel RealSense Technology”, says Yuval Boger, CEO of Sensics. The Intel RealSense Smartphone developer kit featuring Google’s Project Tango enables new experiences, including indoor navigation and area learning, virtual reality, 3-D scanning, and more.
The newly introduced Intel Optane technology is based on 3D XPoint non-volatile memory media.
Underlining the difficulties the PC market has faced, computer shipments fell 9.5 percent in the second quarter, hurt by restrained corporate technology spending and the strength of the dollar, according to market researcher Gartner Inc.
Intel has highlighted new products, tools and programs to support personalization of computing and described the trends creating new opportunities for developers.
