Intel has finally laid its mixed reality cards out by unveiling Project Alloy, a prototype connected headset at the Intel Developer Forum.
With features that resemble an Oculus Rift crossed with a Microsoft HoloLens, Alloy won't be made by Intel. Instead, the chip maker wants to power 'merged reality' headsets by other tech companies.
Essentially it's a completely wireless VR headset with some additional mixed reality features such as real world object recognition and offering the ability to see your own hands and fingers while in VR. Like the Vive, it will warn the wearer if they are about to walk into a wall or a couch too.
We said it's completely wireless and, in another deviation from what we've seen so far, Project Alloy won't be tethered to a PC or any controllers, it's powered by a sixth gen Intel Core processor. It's a self-contained VR machine.
Brian Krzanich, Intel's CEO, wrote in a Medium post: "Merged reality is about more natural ways of interacting with and manipulating virtual environments — by liberating you from the controllers and the nun chucks of today's VR systems by immersing your hands — your real-life hands — into your simulated experiences thanks to readily available new sensing technologies."
