Like the Qualcomm corporation, Intel preferred to master the virtual reality device market through partner solutions developed for partners, which they could offer under their own brand with minimal improvement. In the case of Intel initiative, a similar product was named Project Alloy , a set of RealSense cameras for the "machine vision" system, computational autonomy due to the on-board processor and other necessary components, as well as a forecast for achieving performance
at three teraflops with power consumption no more than 15-20 watts.
The UploadVR resource yesterday revealed Intel's new details about the Project Alloy platform. By the end of the year the company plans to supply such prototypes with thousands of pieces, so we will see serial products of partners only next year.
Such an autonomous virtual reality device does not require a computer or external sensors to work, will approach the average configuration laptop - the range from $ 599 to $ 899 is mentioned. This positioning in Intel is considered fair, because the computer to work on this helmet is not needed. However, both in terms of speed and quality of graphics, Project Alloy will be inferior to "PC-dependent" solutions such as HTC Vive and Oculus Rift, but the creators believe that
the autonomy of the work will outweigh this disadvantage. In addition, Intel believes that Project Alloy helmets will not compete with products requiring connection to a PC, and therefore both market segments will be able to coexist peacefully and develop. Related Products :
