now Intel of course best known for making the chips are going computers and smartphones but chips aren't very interesting to look at so on the actual stand here at CS they've got loads of really really crazy technology on show that uses Intel tech so let's take a look at what we've got first up here we've got just getting set up now is a virtual reality game I believe a volleyball using oculus rift if I can just talk to this guy is later hey is it is it Bruce Bruce isn't it Bruce yes absolutely I'm ahead of developer relations for all space we are amazing so what is this what's happening what's going on so what's going on is all space we are we're a ball about social VR communication looking at people in VR nodding your head shaking your head and what we got real excited about was a partnership here with Intel with a real sense 3d camera you can bring your hands into we are just holding them up there's a camera embedded in these laptops bring your hands right into the scene in 3d and so everyone's like having a good time talking to each other making gestures peace signs waves but then they get some crash course training for some virtual beach volleyball that's gonna be cool sounds good if we take a look at the display there which I think you've just seen that'sthat's what yeah that's what that's what the people with wearing oculus up that's what they're seeing yeah so they're volley bots on this beach scene and the person that's in the front of the screen there actually isn't here in Las Vegas that's our referee in San Francisco really you're beaming in the referee from San Francisco you don't trust anyone here is that the problem that's right with this is a very shady city we need him to come in from SF I do the referee tell them all the instructions NVR so we'll see people looking at their hands making fun gestures making jokes singing songs in there whatever he's doing to entertain them and explain the game alright sounds good and just finally how people have been finding it I mean it looks a little bit funny from the outside to play too kind of people wearing these things that weight in their hands around looks and looks looks a little weird but is it fun and they have people having a good time oh yeah are the most common response is awesome and now we've had a few people almost dive out of their chairs today you're trying to go after volleyball so that's very cool well that sounds like a liability nightmare I think I think you should be careful with that one all right thank you very much Bruce Cheers take it easy all right now moving along let's see what else intel has to show so over here there's a huge queue for this because it's something that clearly has captured the imagination of everyone at the booth it's a 3d scanning thing we're going to go take a look and see what that is exactly so what happens here we move through the crowd communication for them so this is a program that Intel's put together that scans your face so what happens is someone kind of stands in the middle I've just had this done and then somebody walks around you with a tablet and they scan you they get a 3d map of you and then they send that in to here so we can so what exactly is happening here can you tell me what the process is what's going on we are actually about to do a demonstration using the realsense camera technology in the tablet that we have tablet is a prototype so we are going to take an image of this gentleman let me find him really quick song where is it as you can tell there's a lot of excitement so I got a high-tech place oh you come here with me sir I'm gonna have you stand right there and then I just need three feet around him here we go and I'm gonna have you always stare straight and keep that beautiful smile that you have you can do that yeah bring it in closer to you perfect stay right there don't move so now what I'm doing is I'm using the realsense camera or the laptop that's a wicked folks we got going on while this guys getting scanned let me ask you once that scan happens what happens to the data what's going on in this big orange box in well so this is just doing a visualization of what the 3d data looks like once once it's printed out I can show you total speaking to each other this is just a geometry that that comes off of the camera it's really nice to look at it in 3d and because we can't really 3d print every every attendee here we thought we would toss these in and we think lay them pretty nice so you're making people basically paperweights of themselves and there's a huge queue for that 3d everyone wants a crystal selfie of themselves that little vein do you think oh who cares who cares that's right anyway it's really good fun thank you very much thanks for talking us through it okay next up let's go through this tunnel here to calibrate the things are getting even busier so bear with me wacky okay so in this corridor we've got what Intel cause it's real sense technology now this is really interesting because it's the kind of thing that we've seen before with stuff like Microsoft's Kinect sensor bar but it's been taken to a ridiculous degree here today so if you look up here they're quite hard to see but along the top there are all of these cameras here you can see they've all got the Intel logos up there and what they're all doing they're scanning everyone here and you get this kind of massive projection if I if I sort of strike a pose here you can see it's freezing me and ice there we go look at that I could have chosen a better pose I've just got my arm in the air I'm not a very exciting snowman all right so let's break that okay right moving on cameras are short-range 3d cameras were being shivered with our partners and their devices now what I want to do is I want to talk to a guy I've met in here his name is cool if i remember correctly i hope it is that's going to be an enormous folk are if it isn't that and he's going to tell us about how that debt sense technology works dan my debit is here in front of his face let's go ahead and type all i'm really sorry to interrupt luke from cnet here i know you're in the middle of a demo go ahead and type in your email from you right yes I so for could you tell me what let everything in this corridor what exactly is it doing and why is it good well so right now we're looking at intel realsense camera and we're in the tunnel so you're looking at the same camera that you've been throughout the entire way but this camera my demonstration here is clearly showing how the the camera has the ability you sophisticated 3d data to really capture rod depth the great thing about this camera is it's rendering in real time so the user when they're in front of the camera which is short range you want to be anywhere from seven inches 23 feet but it renders so it knows the users in front only includes the user it excludes everybody behind him all right thank you bowl it's very very cool i can see you got really close detail you can even see inside people's mouths which is a little bit weird
