A look to the future with Intel Future Showcase

The American company shows what are some of its technologies in the study to improve the experience of use with technology products expected on the market in the next few years

Intel is known for its various products, processors in the head, which sells on the market as of end customers as professional operators. But this has a rich tradition linked to the development of technologies and products that open our eyes to what will be the expected development of the ICT market in the years to come.

It is usually the Intel Developer Forum, an event that twice a year outlining what will be the company's future development plans, the premises used by Intel to show a preview of some of the initiatives for future development that are at work in their research centers. On these occasions, the American company combines new technologies to produce products or market trends that will find concrete expression in the following years.

Future Intel Showcase is an event that has touched various European capitals, including Milan, in the course of this week, during which they were shown some of the areas of research and development in which Intel is working in key future. A concrete example comes from perceptual computing, that is, those techniques that allow you to control computers, tablets, laptops, and in general computing devices through commands given with eyes, voice and hand gestures.

A technology of this type aims at an ever greater and easier interaction with computing devices, and consumer electronics traditional radicalizing the concept initially developed with touch interfaces made so popular by the spread of smartphones and tablets.

Some of the products and technologies shown are already entering the market. Take for example the systems NUC, Next Unit of Computing, small systems based on Core platform which, thanks to its small overall size may be used in various fields such as in the home office, not to mention installations in commercial signage solutions Digital.

The security of data on your PC is crucial, now that most of our information is present only in its digital format. The technology Anti-thieft, implemented in platform-based notebooks Core, prevents their data can be used by someone outside when their laptop is being used by third parties.

The technology has practical implications for Intel in every sector, and this is well demonstrated by the work done for the development of "Seeing Through Rain," that is to see in the rain. It is a technology perspective adaptable to production in new cars by the end of the decade, through a digital video camera that detects the presence of rain drops falling on the windscreen. By processing this information so that we understand where the drops will fall further, "Seeing Through Rain" makes it possible to significantly reduce the number of drops appear, improving the overall visibility of the driver. To do this they are switched on and off small lamps integrated into the headlight, so that they do not go to illuminate the area in which the drops are falling.

One of the latest examples of technological development shown by Intel will come out on the market in a few months. We refer to North Cape, code name that identifies the platform Ultrabook convertible next generation. In this case, the novelty is represented by the screen, which integrates a 13-inch display with full HD resolution when coupled with the keyboard for use as a conventional notebook. When the display is disconnected from the keyboard the system enters the tablet and the screen is reduced to a diagonal of 11.6 inches, turning off a portion of the display pixels on the sides. In this way it creates space frame, useful to better manage the screen without touch mode in which the hand inadvertently come in contact with the touch when the screen is held in the hands.

On Youtube channel Intel Italian, accessible to address this , there are numerous videos that summarize the technologies shown at the Future Showcase.
