"Intel is very keen for you to know all about its RealSense technology, which combines three cameras to see and map the world. At CES 2016, it has a fun little demo that puts your noggin into Fallout 4. To do it, you sit very still in a chair with a dour, "I live in a post-nuclear-apocalypse-hellscape" expression and don't move. A very nice man takes an HP tablet with Intel's cameras on it and walks around you slowly while pointing it at your head with the itSeez3D app."

"Intel RealSense was in some ways an idea ahead of its time: its depth sensing technology didn't start feeling really necessary until virtual reality came on the scene. But 2016 is the biggest year for VR since the '90s, and Intel doesn't want to miss out. It's partnering with a small headset company called IonVR to create a mobile headset that can map the world (and your hands) without wires, controllers, or external cameras."

10) Intel's new ad campaign reminds you it's inside more than just PCs
https://archive.is/y0zGV
""Intel Inside" has been the US chip maker's calling card since the slogan was introduced in the early '90s. (Along with the accompanying "bong" sound mark.) However, while this motto was originally deployed to make customers think about what chips were inside their PCs, the scope for Intel's products has widened since. The company's new advertising campaign emphasizes this fact with a montage of Intel-powered devices, from 3D printers and robot assembly lines, to solar-powered cars and fitness trackers. Intel is inside everything, seems to be the intended message."
