In August, Intel made it clear that will help partners to create virtual reality helmets that do not require a PC connection, the initiative Project Alloy . Devices based on this reference design will appear in the second half of next year. In this embodiment, they are equipped with skylake generation processors, but at the time the launch of series production probably replace them with something more modern.
