Intel’s 3-D Camera

Looks like Intel has big plans for the future of computers, and gaming plays an important role in them. The company believes that computer games have the capacity to be one of the most instinctive forms of entertainment, and to that end, want to make use of highly accurate 3D cameras to track user input for the games of tomorrow.At CES 2014, Intel's main presentation discussed the future of computing and spanned everything from productivity to education. Gaming was only one facet of the new face of computing.

Intel in recent years has used its press conferences at the Consumer Electronics Show to highlight new chips and Ultrabooks, this year the company focused on new technology that will allow users to interact more naturally with their computing devices through voice and gesture controls.

To that end, the chip maker introduced the Intel Real Sense 3-D camera, which the company said will boast a facial recognition feature and finger-level motion controls. The higlight is Intel’s RealSense 3D camera. As its name implies, the camera has the ability to see in three dimensions, making it possible to perceive distance as well as capture an image. In other words, the camera works more like the human eye.

Few days ago, Mooly Eden, general manager of Intel's Perceptual Computing unit, stressed on computing needs to take on a more ‘natural’ approach and following that Intel introduced the chip 3D camera, with an index finger sized hardware. This creation is the first offering of the chipmaker’s new "Real Sense" brand of perceptual computing products. Elaborating the ‘perceptual technology’ Eden said " the company wants to develop products that will utilize gestures, facial recognition, and voice recognition to bring in a more natural and intuitive feel while using it " .

                  

    

         

INTEL'S 3D CAMERA IN LAPTOPS AND TABS :

A combined 2-D and 3-D camera from Intel will be built into laptops and tablets. The camera allows a device to be controlled with arm, hand, and finger gestures, and is also intended to allow software to capture and understand the world around it, including people’s facial expressions.

Intel showed seven different laptops and tablets from Dell, Lenovo, and Asus with the integrated depth camera. Such devices are slated to hit the market in the second half of 2014. In addition to PCs, Intel will be using the RealSense technology for 3-D printing; the company announced a technology alliance with 3-D printing pioneer 3D Systems, which will make 3D Systems' scanning, editing and printing applications available for Intel RealSense-powered devices and systems.

Finally the introduction of the latest 3D cameras by intel we can say goodbye to the processors and Ultrabooks and Hello to 3-D cameras and voice controls.
