At CES, Intel makes another push into the consumer market

One more discussion about mobility...links at the bottom of the post to view a the technologies shown...during the presentation.  I do have to agree that thus far keynotes have been a little different this year...mobile and gadget oriented all the way...the applications all state they do have health care options and features as well.  BD

Nearer term, Otellini's personal Internet will allow more sophisticated social networking sites that might, say, let musicians hold virtual jam session like the one Smash Mouth put on using a system that displays their real-time movements via life-like avatars.

"When the computer became personal, the industry changed," Otellini said. "I believe the personal Internet will follow the same path."

A big part of Intel's push is its belief in a new product arena - what it has come to call the ultra-mobile PC.  The company's new strategy contrasts with its past efforts in the consumer electronics space. Over the years, Intel has made and marketed a digital camera, a microscope for kids, a video cam, even a digital music player.

Organic Motion

Organic Motion's markerless motion capture system introduce several unprecedented features for real-time 3D human tracking. The technology frees the subject from wearing any kind of physical markers, and every person is sized and tracked instantly.  BioStage provides a complete turnkey system for researchers, physicians, and others involved with analyzing the highly complex motion of humans. BioStage outputs three types of data – motion data, volumetric 3D mesh, and video surface textures. BioStage makes it easy to utilize these advanced data streams to gain a deeper and more precise understanding of human motion, and also integrates with 3rd party devices such as force plates and EMG.

Virtual Heros

HumanSim™ by Virtual Heroes is a software simulation platform that provides enhanced initial, refresher and sustainment medical education and training. Virtual Heroes is creating HumanSim™ by taking the most advanced digital game technology available, and integrating it with a high-fidelity physiologic-pharmacologic model for unprecedented experiential learning. HumanSim™ emphasizes “learning-by-doing” and provides training-to-proficiency in rare, complicated or otherwise error-prone tasks. HumanSim™ enables health care professionals to sharpen their assessment and decision-making skills without risk to patients in realistic, challenging, immersive environments. As hospitals struggle with more patients and fewer doctors, patient safety issues are on the rise due to limited resources and overworked staff. HumanSim™ directly addresses skills proficiency in this area.

EveryScape

Working with Intel, EveryScape traveled to Beijing to "scape" the key areas for the CES keynote by capturing 2D photos. EveryScape then incorporated these images into its proprietary platform that enhances local visual search with one-click access to photos, video, and additional destination information from websites like Yelp, Flickr, YouTube, Wikipedia and Yahoo! Local.
