Intel CEO explains Real Sense tech and Intel's new diversity push

2015-01-09
our simple view is if it's smart and it's connected we want to make it rug best on it tall and that means is everything becomes smart and connected so from the Internet of Things all the way through servers as they become smart and connected we want to be a part of that we want to drive that technology now what we do is we we develop core capabilities so like real sense right which started on the pc or our our cpu capability it's starts on the pc and then we're able to fan it out and use it across and that's what I tried to show last night is that real sense the same module could be used from a drone to a futuristic pc and it could be across that spectrum so Intel not spreading itself too thin then there have been critics have said that yeah I don't think we're spreading ourselves too thin in fact I think we can drive even broader with using that same core technology approach maybe you could just spend a minute telling people who don't know what real sense is what it is and what it means to tell so real sense is is basically a set of cameras that that include the ability through infrared and other deficits and capabilities to see everything with a depth perspective so not only can I see you but I can get a good measure of how far away you are and what's behind you and I'm basically breaking up the world in very thin layers that's what it does is it takes all of those thin layers and puts it into an image and it allows us to do a lot of things around what what can you do with depth now that i know i can change focus i could measure distances and prevent myself from running into you i can do all kinds of things with them wearable still remains a big area focus we had you had oakley on stage yesterday so talk about where you think you are in the wearable strategy our job is to create silicon and technologies that are partners can know then go and create and innovate with and that's what you see you know you don't see a lot of products from Intel you see a lot of products powered by Intel in the wearable space and so what I want to do is go get great partners who who innovate innovate differently than like opening ceremony I mean the mica bracelet is something that's truly beautiful I women tell me they want to wear it whether it's on or off right that's the wearable you want to have it's something you want to wear and it has this functionality to it and that's what we're going and crate so that's why we've taken partners like opening ceremony and Oakley apostle these people bring that that capability to us so tell us what we're looking at so this is the product we announced last night which was Curie and we put it in a button just to really be a form factor to just show people what they could how they could innovate how they could create but but it's really much smaller Nick we can make it in almost any form factor and the idea here is again let her give this to our partners let them go invents let them go create with this let's see what they do um I want to switch attack and talk about another big announcement you made yesterday and that had to do with diversity we took diversity from a project that HR or or some other part of the organization owns to saying the improving our diversity improving our representation of women and minorities is is part of our doing business and and so like bringing a product to market so like bringing a new technology to the marketplace fixing the diversity issues bringing inclusion into the workplace we're treating it just like one of those in which case then you set goals you tell publicly what you're going to do you invest in that technology or that problem set and you set managers paid to their performance of that it's how we solve problems and so we decided to just solve this as a problem that we would do we are gonna put the smartest brains that we have on this problem we're gonna be inclusive and how we go about this problem right it's not just us you saw the Reverend Jackson at our speech last night we've got a lot of allies to help us go solve this now it's such an Adela this year Microsoft one of your allies have you had a discussion with him about it I actually have had a discussion with Sachin and and he's a hundred percent behind this you well it was a big year for Microsoft and diversity is about that I think you know one of the luxuries I guess so having a job like this is that you can you can have some level of personal agendas so absolutely i have two teenage daughters i want the world to be different for them I want them to have an absolute equal chance it's all about you know your opportunities and chance I've had great opportunities and great chances so to speak in my career and I want them to have that same list of chances at least and then they'll make of it what they want
