Numerous technological innovations visited by Intel in the next 18 months to tell

ByThomas Hawk

Director Kirk Skaugen, who is in charge of PC client business at Intel, told us that a great deal more than the technological innovation that occurred over the past 10 years will come in 18 months (a year and a half). The other day,Intel will install wireless charging technology on notebook PCs and smartphones from 2013There was a topic of being talked about, but this is one of them.

According to Skaugen, a lot of technological innovation will occur from October 26 when the touch-oriented OS Windows 8 is released, and that wave will lead to the next year. If expected, the computer industry is expected to bring about 200 billion dollars (about 15 trillion yen) in annual sales.

Kevin Krewell, an analyst at the semiconductor market research firm Linley Group, analyzes that many innovations will come through touch, gesture and voice operations. Touch and speech recognition are penetrating through Apple's "Siri", for example, and incorporating these technologies into the PC is a natural flow.

The content of technical innovation that Skaugen advocates, which will occur in the next 18 months, looks like this.

◆Windows 8 with touch screen operation
According to Skaugen, Intel's tests show that about 80% of people prefer touch screens over a variety of operating methods.


◆Near distance tracking corresponding to 6 inches (about 15 cm) to 3 feet (about 90 cm)
Belgium's SoftKinetic company dealing with gesture recognition devices and others has developed software and cameras that recognize ten fingers and plans to commercialize it in 2013 with Creative and incorporate it into PC.

◆Speech recognition including nuance
By increasing the accuracy of speech recognition than it is now it is possible to give commands to the PC in natural conversation, write short sentences, and output text translations by speech synthesis.

◆Reality expansion of 2D / 3D
Currently, Intel is collaborating with French AR technology company Total Immersion, and plans to create a mechanism that makes it possible to feel online shopping in virtual reality, for example, by wearing 3D glasses.
