In an interview with the founder of Oculus VR Palmer Lucky admitted that ideally a virtual reality helmet should not only work without a wired connection, but also manage their own computing resources.
Intel company took up the dream of Palmer Lucky, because at IDF 2016 processor giant introduced Project Alloy - an open platform for application development of virtual and augmented reality that uses RealSense camera to recognize gestures and surrounding real-world objects. In fact, Project Alloy - it is only the reference product, based on which the company's customers will be able to create their own versions of helmets of virtual reality. Their products appear on the market before the second half of next year.
The advantages of the Project Alloy, Intel considers not only the availability RealSense cameras can measure the change of coordinates in six axes without the use of external sensors, but also a complete computing autonomy. The device does not require connection to a computer, as based on the very Skylake processor, and has sufficient computing resources.
RealSense cameras help to avoid collisions with objects of the real world as you move through the virtual world. Furthermore, they can be employed to track the hand movements and handling technology "augmented 'reality. Detailed characteristics of the device were not disclosed. Related Products :
