Intel has developed a new smaller RealSense smartphone camera. The company CEO Brian Krzanich displayed the built in camera in a prototype at IDF in Shenzhen, China.
The latest version of the RealSense camera is smaller and thinner. Krzanich showcased how the camera fits into a smartphone. He further showed how a tablet integrated with a RealSense depth camera can help determine which size box is necessary to help ship or store products. Krzanich also displayed a Windows 10 powered tablet that signed him into a program merely by scanning his face with a RealSense camera. Intel says that the RealSense cameras can provide intuitive, vision-based capabilities for solving complex problems and delivering exciting new usages and capabilities across a variety of form factors.
Moving on, Intel also announced that it will expand in the Internet of Things sector, with its upcoming Atom X3 processor, codenamed “SoFIA”. It also discussed the roadmap with the addition of 3G and LTE processors for the Internet of Things. Intel will expand the program to include the Intel Atom x5 processor to help reduce customers’ cost and time to market for Intel-based tablets. Finally, Intel also announced the Intel Pentium and Intel Celeron processors (code-named “Braswell”), the next-generation system-on-chip (SoC) based on Intel’s 14nm process technology, are now shipping to customers for 2 in 1 devices, laptops, tower and miniature desktops, and all in one PCs.
