At 24:00 on August 17, Beijing time, IDF (Intel Developer Forum) 2016 was held in San Francisco, USA. In the first scene 【 Smart connected world drives the future 】 In the keynote speech, Intel CEO Kozaki demonstrated Intel's latest Alloy Reality project and the all-in-one Alloy machine.

In the Alloy project, Intel proposed a new word, "Merged Reality", which is different from the "Mixed Reality" we previously recognized. Intel believes that it is a combination of AR, VR and MR.

In the keynote speech, Intel did not emphasize the parameter configuration of the Alloy all-in-one machine. Information learned by Lei Feng.com: It is a lightweight integrated device, integrating SoC and head display, without relying on any external sensors and cameras It comes with two Real Sense cameras. It is equipped with the sixth generation Core processor (the latest seventh generation Core processor will be installed in the future), with a resolution of more than 1080P. Intel said that because it is equipped with the powerful sixth generation Core processor, it can support a higher resolution display, and its battery is located in the rear head solid part of the Alloy all-in-one machine. In terms of endurance, Vice President of Intel New Technology Business Unit and General Manager of Perception Computer Business Unit Achin Bhowmik Indicates that it can reach the endurance of several hours.

The portability and mobility of Alloy are its biggest differences from Oculus and HTC Vive.

Alloy integrates the reality all-in-one machine to realize four new experiences different from VR devices:

1. It can realize arbitrary movement of six angles

2. Through Real Sense technology, Alloy does not need to rely on any external sensors and cameras

3. Recognize hand images and interact with elements in virtual reality

4. Complete realization of "integrating reality"

The Alloy project will open its hardware and API to developers in the second half of 2017. As for when Alloy will be available in the consumer market, Intel did not disclose.

In fact, in the on-site demo of Alloy, Alloy's performance was not perfect. In addition to the age-old mosaic defects of Real Sense, the integration of real time delay and stuck situation cannot be ignored. The advantage of Alloy lies in its portability, ease of use, and wide range of applications. It can easily realize the interaction of multi person virtual scenes. In addition to biology, it can still capture the image information of physical parts. In the keynote speech, the staff took out a bill from their pocket and rubbed it with the turntable in the virtual scene, and can see the virtual picture of sparks splashing.

The biggest difference between Alloy and Hololens: Hololens focuses more on augmented reality. It uses real scenes as the background and integrates virtual elements. Alloy constructs a virtual scene and integrates real elements.
