Intel has unveiled<\/strong><\/a> Project Alloy, its\u00a0all-in-one VR platform “made from the ground up”.<\/p>\n

“A clear example of the future of merged reality today, the Alloy platform completely redefines what is possible in an all-in-one VR platform,” said Intel.<\/p>\n

Alloy will use\u00a0Intel\u2019s RealSense technologies, which are optimised for VR, to deliver new immersive experiences, said the company.<\/p>\n

The device can operate without cables, as the “computing power” (processor and battery) is located within the\u00a0Alloy Head-Mounted Device (HMD).<\/p>\n

“This, combined with collision detection and avoidance, enables the user to utilise physical movement to explore a virtual space,” said Intel.<\/p>\n

Merged reality<\/h3>\n

Intel said the merged reality experience the Alloy offers means users can see their hands, friends, and objects around them.<\/p>\n

Users can see elements from the real world while interacting with elements from a virtual world.<\/p>\n

Intel said the HMD\u00a0has\u00a0RealSense cameras attached to it, which means users will not have to set up external sensors or cameras in a location of use.<\/p>\n

“Intel is collaborating with Microsoft to optimise Windows-based content and experiences on Intel-based VR devices such as Alloy,” said Intel.<\/p>\n

Intel will open the Alloy’s hardware and provide APIs for the ecosystem in 2017.<\/p>\n
