Intelligent atria for joggers ... Why not? This was in any case the first ad - somewhat surprisingly - Intel. Here's a helmet that once your ears diffuse not only music, but also records your heart rate and your movements.
Brian Krzanich also lifted the veil on other products "reference" - they will never be sold, that technological demos - designed by its engineers. Were discovered including a "Smart Headset" a hands-free kit not necessarily very pretty, but which has the merit of being "smart". Always at your service, it allows your smartphone to communicate with voice, without touching it. Coupled with an application installed on your mobile app - which closely resembles Siri - it allows you to ask questions in natural language.
Intel has finally introduced its own smart watch - particularly ugly for the kick - which, however, has the advantage of not depending on a smartphone to operate, because it loads its own radio module. Another innovative feature: the geofencing, or "Virtual caretaking". A technology that enables sound an alarm on your smartphone when the wearer of the watch leaves a predefined geographical area.

| Edison, a computer the size of an SD card CES 2014 |
To animate all these objects, Intel obviously has its platform Edison, presented by the founder like "A complete PC Pentium" no bigger ... an SD card. Based on its platform Quark, a "system on a chip" revealed last year, Edison is indeed a real computer capable of running Linux and connectable to the Internet via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
To demonstrate its capabilities, Krzanich also presented the first wholes objects to be equipped with: a ... smart coffee cup and a bottle warmer, designed in partnership with Rest Devices, a spin-off from MIT. The first is able to inform the parents of the health of their infants in real time, thanks to sensors on his garment. As to the second, it automatically heats the bottle when the sensors on the baby indicate that it is awake and hungry. Yes, the future looks strange.
Intel PCs That Run Windows And Android
They have not been forgotten: Krzanich had a long demonstration of all full of computers "2 in 1" convertible to tablets, detachable on keyboards, foldable, touch ... Nothing new, these form factors are now legion from Windows 8. More attractive - and widely applauded by the crowd - the announcement of Dual OS a technology that allows to switch almost instantly from Windows to Android with a simple push of a button. And after the demo we saw, it seems to work very correctly. That could any case make these convertible famous much more interesting. Asus has understood and has also presented at CES laptop "2 in 1" with this feature: Transforming the Book Duet, we will not fail to quickly introduce yourself.
Free Antivirus For All Mobile
Without any transition, Krzanich also said that his company would deliver this year a free version of a security solution for all mobile devices in the market. "Including those running on ARM" wished to clarify the CEO. Recall that the Sequence Editor McAfee security belongs to him and that will be technologies that will be put to work for this free antivirus. However, Intel has decided to get rid of the name "McAfee" probably become heavy to carry since the recent escapades of the designer brand or too connoted PC ... The software therefore called simply "Intel Security."
