CES 2017: Intel\u2019s VR visions<\/strong><\/a> — from jwtintelligence.com by Shepherd Laughlin
\nThe company showed off advances in volumetric capture, VR live streaming, and \u201cmerged reality.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Live-streaming 360-degree video was another area of focus for Intel. Guests were able to watch a live basketball game being broadcast from Indianapolis, Indiana, choosing from multiple points of view as the action moved up and down the court.<\/strong> <\/span>Intel \u201cwill be among the first technology providers to enable the live sports experience on multiple VR devices,\u201d the company stated.<\/p>\n

\nHow is The Immersive Experience Delivered?<\/span> <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Tethered Headset VR <\/strong>\u2013 The user can participate in a VR experience by using a computer with a tethered VR headset (also known as a Head Mounted Display – HMD) like Facebook\u2019s Oculus Rift, PlayStation VR, or the HTC Vive. The user has the ability to move freely and interact in the VR environment while using a handheld controller to emulate VR hands. But, the user has a limited area in which to move about because they are tethered to a computer.<\/p>\n

Non-Tethered Headset VR\/AR <\/strong>\u2013 These devices are headsets and computers built into one system, so users are free of any cables limiting their movement. These devices use AR to deliver a 360\u00b0 immersive experience. Much like with Oculus Rift and Vive, the user would be able to move around in the AR environment as well as interact and manipulate objects. A great example of this headset is Microsoft\u2019s HoloLens, which delivers an AR experience to the user through just a headset.<\/p>\n

Mobile Device Inserted into a Headgear <\/strong>\u2013 To experience VR, the user inserts their mobile device into a Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear 360\u00b0, or any other type of mobile device headgear, along with headphones if they choose. This form of VR doesn\u2019t require the user to be tethered to a computer and most VR experiences can be 360\u00b0 photos, videos, and interactive scenarios.<\/p>\n

Mobile VR <\/strong>\u2013 The user can access VR without any type of headgear simply by using a mobile device and headphones (optional). They can still have many of the same experiences that they would through Google Cardboard or any other type of mobile device headgear. Although they don\u2019t get the full immersion that they would with headgear, they would still be able to experience VR. Currently, this version of the VR experience seems to be the most popular because it only requires a mobile device. Apps like Pok\u00e9mon Go and Snapchat\u2019s animated selfie lens only require a mobile device and have a huge number of users.<\/p>\n

Desktop VR <\/strong>\u2013 Using just a desktop computer, the user can access 360\u00b0 photos and videos, as well as other VR and AR experiences, by using the trackpad or computer mouse to move their field of view and become immersed in the VR scenario.<\/p>\n

New VR <\/strong>\u2013 Non-mobile and non-headset platforms like Leap Motion use depth sensors to create a VR image of one\u2019s hands on a desktop computer; they emulate hand gestures in real time. This technology could be used for anything from teaching assembly in a manufacturing plant to learning a step-by-step process to medical training.<\/p>\n
