These 2015 - is still only a prototype but Intel strongly wanted to show to the market that should count on him in the development of the "wearable technologies", these objects connected to carry.
It takes on the tip of the little finger. The Curie chip, brought to you by the American manufacturer of semiconductors at the CES in Las Vegas, is both a model of miniaturisation and technical performance. Because this little round plastic and metal, as small as a button vest, is a computer to him alone.
Named Curia, this chip is indeed a prototype that could well soon be incorporated in a number of connected objects, including those that are called in English the "Wearables", i.e. those that wearing on either (bracelets, sunglasses but also t-shirts, shoes and belts connected).
A chip connected to free software: Intel plays the opening
Little energy - intensive it communicates in Bluetooth Low Energy-, she embarked various sensors: a (recognition of precise gestures) Accelerator, a gyroscope (orientation of the object in space) combined with an accelerometer with six axes (direction of motion of the object).
With this chip, Intel plays the card of the opening. It works with Viper. It is an open-source software that allows to interpret all the data captured by the Curie chip. The American manufacturer can already imagine that his invention could be very easily, in the future, be integrated invisibly into rings, bags, bracelets, pendants, trackers of activity or even... buttons.
