Intel Expands Developer Opportunities as Computing Expands Across All Areas of Peoples' Lives
INTEL DEVELOPER FORUM--In the opening address at the Intel (News - Alert) Developer
Forum (IDF), CEO Brian Krzanich highlighted new products, tools and
programs that support the growing personalization of computing and
described the trends creating new opportunities for developers across an
unprecedented breadth of technologies.
Krzanich said computing has become increasingly personal, enhancing
nearly all aspects of life. "Computers are on our desks, in our bags, in
our clothes, in our homes and on our bodies. They are not only growing
smarter and more connected, but gaining senses and becoming an extension
of ourselves."
An ecosystem is emerging around Intel to address these growing
opportunities for computing. Krzanich detailed many of the essential
products, technologies and tools from the company that will help
developers make the differentiated experiences possible.
He unveiled a number of updates
to Intel® RealSense™ technology that will bring depth
sensing to more devices and applications, and announced new
collaborations for securing the Internet of Things (IoT), in addition to
programs and toolkits for developers to help speed industrial IoT
solutions to market. And, for the highly personalized world of wearable
computing, Krzanich provided updates on the Intel® Curie™
module and previewed a new reality competition program called "America's
Greatest Makers," produced by United Artists Media Group* CEO Mark
Burnett and appearing across leading networks and properties of Turner
Broadcasting*.
Each year at IDF, Intel shares its vision for the future of technology
innovation with the developers and partners who will create the
products, engineer the systems, render the movies, and power the toys
and devices that create amazing experiences. Below are key announcements
highlighted at this year's forum.
IDF 2015 News Highlights:
-
Intel RealSense technology will be available on a wide-range of
platforms, opening up more opportunities for developers to create new
depth-sensing hardware and software. In addition to Windows* and
Android (News - Alert)*, developers will be able to use Intel RealSense technology
with Mac OS X*, ROS*, Linux*, Scratch*1, Unity*, XSplit*,
OBS*, Structure SDK*, OSVR*, Unreal Engine 4* and Google's (News - Alert) Project
Tango*. Also, a number of developers, including Razer*, XSplit and
Savioke* announced new platforms, peripherals and other solutions
based on the Intel RealSense technology.
-
In collaboration with Google*, Intel is driving innovation in mobile
depth sensing by combinin Google's Project Tango and Intel RealSense
technologies into an Android smartphone developer kit. The Intel
RealSense Smartphone developer kit featuring Google's Project Tango
enables new experiences, including indoor navigation and area
learning, virtual reality, 3-D scanning, and more. The developer kit
is targeted for release to select Android developers by the end of
this year.
-
Intel is collaborating with Mark Burnett's United Artists Media Group
and Turner Broadcasting (News - Alert) to create a reality competition called "America's
Greatest Makers" that will premiere in the first half of 2016 and
showcase makers competing for a $1 million prize by inventing wearable
technology and smart connected consumer devices powered by the Intel
Curie module.
-
Intel introduced Intel® OptaneTM technology,
which is based on the revolutionary 3D
XPointTM non-volatile memory media and combined with
the company's advanced system memory controller, interface hardware
and software IP, to unleash vast performance potential in a range of
forthcoming products. Intel Optane technology will first come to
market in a new line of high-endurance, high-performance Intel SSDs
beginning in 2016. The new class of memory technology will also power
a new line of Intel DIMMs designed for Intel's next-generation data
center platforms.
-
Fossil Group* previewed three Intel technology-based products2
resulting from its wearables
collaboration with Intel first announced in September 2014,
including a connected watch running Android Wear. The products will be
available in the fourth-quarter of this year.
-
Intel announced a new software platform created specifically for the Intel
Curie module2, which
includes all of the hardware, firmware, software and application SDK
needed to enable a variety of device experiences. Intel IQ Software
Kits will support future versions of this platform.
-
Intel's Enhanced
Privacy Identification (EPID) technology will be implemented by
leading IoT sensor and microcontroller vendors including Atmel (News - Alert)* and
Microchip* to help secure an increasingly smart and connected world.
