Intel's CES 2018 event in 15 minutes

2018-01-09
until has undergone a fundamental transformation from a PC centric company to a data centric company ladies and gentlemen please welcome Brian presented good evening so today is a day where we all come together to celebrate the lifeblood of our amazing industry and that's really about innovation but before we start I want to take a moment to thank the industry for coming together for another purpose to address the recent security research findings reported as meltdown and Spectre in the aberration among so many companies to address this industry-wide issue across several different processor architectures has been truly remarkable his security is job number one for Intel and our industry so the primary focus of our decisions and discussions have been to keep our customers data safe as of now we have not received any information that these exploits have been used to obtain customer data and we're working tirelessly on these issues to ensure it stays that way the best thing you can do to make sure your data remains safe is to apply any updates from your operating system vendor and system manufacturer as soon as they become available for our processors products introduced in the past five years Intel expects to issue updates for more than 90% of them within a week and their remaining by the end of January we believe the performance impact of these updates is highly work the load dependent now as a result we expect some workloads may have a larger impact than others so we'll continue working with the industry to minimize the impact on those workloads over time when we come together like this there are endless possibilities and I'd like to share some of those possibilities now with you data will redefine how we experience life in our work at home in school even how we enjoy sports and entertainment and I want to show you how we use our expertise to deliver this immersive media tonight this breakthrough combines artificial intelligence advanced camera technology and millions of HD images to blur the lines between reality and imagination to create something known as volumetric video so now let me give you some insight into how this all works because it comes in a variety of flavors one of those technologies is Intel true VR which is already making an impact in sports globally and will continue to transform fan experiences it also extends beyond sports and will increasingly affect how consumers will interact with the content and all kinds of experiences with true VR we place multiple cameras along one side or around the perimeter of a playing field or even on a downhill ski run each of these cameras has multiple lenses that allow us to have a hundred and eighty to 360 degree stereoscopic view the individual cameras are stitched together with sophisticated software and powerful computers it allows a fan to not only use their headset to look around the field but also choose the camera position they want now we also have a technology that some of you may know by the name of Freedy we are now calling this Intel true view this technology takes a very different approach to deliver this experience true view involves the installations of dozens of high-definition 5k resolution cameras positioned around the entire viewing area this allows us to define the 3d space and volume of the area inside the camera ring by dividing it into billions and billions of data points that we call voxels okay so what is a voxel exactly well think of it as a pixel that's placed in three-dimensional space that adds depth to the content you're capturing by recording a scene this way we effectively have the ability to take the viewer inside the 3d space of the scene from any angle he or she wants now of course it takes a tremendous amount of computing power to do this the setups we've recreated to deliver TrueView for the National Football League they produce data at the rate of three terabytes per minute three terabytes that means we're creating the data equivalent of all of the text in the Library of Congress in the first quarter of any football game let me take you into a glimpse of the future show you what watching sports would be like we had multiple data streams so I'll write you and your audience to join me my VR headset I'm headed to Arrowhead Stadium I'm gonna watch a Kansas City shave Chiefs take on the LA Chargers so now I put under the game here now the first thing you notice you have this game on the giant screen above you right that's a hundred ninety five foot and you can see the entire field but you also see a little blue square and that's actually the view I have in my headset now if you're watching this at home in your HD screen you would have almost that exact same deal but look at all the data that's outside that little blue square I mean all that data has to be constantly updated and refreshed so when I move my headset I have a seamless view on the of the field now when I'm watching the game at home I'm typically always going to my tablet or my phone to check out my fantasy football team but because I've got multiple data streams here I've actually taken my entire fantasy football team and brought them into this game but what if we wanted to be right there in the middle of the game what you see here is that we're able to see right to Tom Brady and and see what he sees on the field that's a different perspective doctors perspective that nobody else can provide you there's not a camera in his helmet there's not a another system showing that that's going inside one of those voxels and looking out from outside his helmet well on this play you're gonna see Joe Flacco from the Ravens and he's got as you could tell the Pacquiao he's looking he's got a cornerback right there in his vision and he's got the safety he's got to fit this ball right in there don't throw this Joe jump throw up touchdown good job Joe but you know what there's not any other technology that would show you how tight this throw was and how difficult it was for Joe this allowed you as a viewer to really go right there and beat Joe Flacco and you could be like I can't believe he's making this throw there's no window there you get to appreciate the ability of that guy at that moment at the same time you'll be able to go back and nitpick and be like not a good job Joe don't the other guy so let's roll the first single camera and what you can see it's the western scene they're fighting the hero breaks free gets on the horse and rides away now I want to show you that same scene the exact same scene captured volumetrically now the important thing to remember is that we shot this scene only one time and now we have all that of data and the ability to recreate the scene from any point of view one of the fascinating developments is the rise of neuromorphic computing we've been building something that truly mimics the way that the brain observes learns and understands our research efforts have produced a prototype chip called Loihi this has been a major research effort at Intel and today we have a fully functioning neuromorphic research chip our Loihi research chip is the most advanced neuromorphic chip yet developed and after only a few weeks it's already performing simple object recognition in the labs this incredible technology is going to influence future products and innovations let's talk about quantum computing for a second the quantum computing represents an entirely different approach to computing this technology will be able to solve problems that are insurmountable today quantum computers are composed of quantum bits or you often hear the term qubits these massively parallel processing to solve problems today the best supercomputers will take months or even years to resolve today I'm proud to show you the next step I'm proud to introduce to you our 49 qubit quantum chip this 49 qubit chip pushes beyond our ability to simulate and is a step towards quantum supremacy we want to build a platform that allows autonomous cars to become a reality from commercial fleets to passenger cars everywhere on the road this isn't just an experiment it's a path to the future I saw no hands on the wheels but this doesn't look like the traditional autonomous car there's no big lighter on top there's it just looks a little bit cleaner and smoother well first I'm proud to introduce one of our first vehicles out of a fleet of 100 cars that we announced last year and indeed as you said all the sensors are very discreet we have cameras wing cameras and side cameras that give you half a sphere on the side a rear camera and then for parking cameras altogether 12 cameras and then radars and and ladders for a redundancy so we have identified four areas that we are addressing to make at anomalous vehicle wheel first is sensing and that's includes all the high performance computing and mapping driving policy which is about planning decisions and merging into traffic and then models that provide safety guarantees which are coordinated with the government regulations the volocopter is an entirely novel type of vertical takeoff and landing aircraft it offers unprecedented levels of safety is extremely simple to fly quiet and when running on its batteries emission-free it is not some distant sci-fi fantasy the volocopter is real and already exists today as we just saw in the video I can attest that now soon we will offer autonomous air taxi flights as a service in cities across the world revolutionising the way we all experience urban mobility today and the best about it it has the potential to be affordable for all of us no I agree and that volocopter uses the state flight control technology that the Falcon eight plus drone that Intel makes uses for inspections and surveys and mapping so it's got a lot of other uses and and reliability testing so but why do you think autonomous air taxis are going to be adopted by consumers why what's what's gonna drive this to people well who wouldn't like to fly across city sit in a volocopter look at it from an entirely new perspective skip traffic save time so to fly drones at this scale what we need are batteries with very high energy density and also we need the capability of processing vast amounts of data in milliseconds especially when flying autonomously and that is where you come into play so with Intel Inside Tech is now able to perform this task because it is powerful small and lightweight they want to see it fly don't you okay we'll make it happen as I already started you know flying a volocopter inside the theater live on stage does come along with some challenges so in order to pull of that stunt we had to put some safety measures in place but I'm confident you will still be able to enjoy it and get a feel for it ok let's let it fly I'd like to introduce to you our newest drone the Intel shooting star mini everything it does is made simple and possible by data now this is not the type of drone you can buy in a store the hardware is a completely new design so it can be safely flown and navigate indoors where there is no GPS it has the most advanced software and is fully automated and a single fleet of a hundred drones can be controlled by one pilot I really hope you enjoyed the new member of our family have a wonderful evening and enjoy
