asking alexandria divided

asking alexandria divided

ladies and gentlemen please welcome laura anderson intel corporate communications good afternoon and welcome to intel's ces press day presentation we're really excited to have you guys here today for the next 45 minutes intel ceo brian krzanich is going to take immersive in a series of live and

pre-recorded virtual reality experiences this is the most unique and technically complex event we have ever held so if you end up if you have experience any technical problems during the event please raise your hand and we do have helpers who will come and assist you but before we get started i want to take you through a few last-minute majestical

reminders first please turn off the ringers to your phone's second right after this event we're going to post a bunch of information high-resolution photos and videos to intel's newsroom and we'll be posting additional photos and videos through the evening including a replay of the live stream so and last we've got a lot of cables on the ground

especially when you guys finish up the event and you've had your headsets on so please take care when you leave and please refrain from moving around the room during the event just as a safety precaution as i mentioned will have a lot of photos available on our newsroom for us after the event but with that i want to i'd like to introduce your host

for today's press event,intel ceo brian krzanich ok welcome everybody i i'm really excited about this afternoon this is going to be fun much more fun than our normal keynote or other kinds of press event i'm really excited today what i'm going to do today is try and show you how intel's thinking about really the future of this kind of

technology the technology today we believe is extending far beyond the classic consumer electronics and it really extending to every experience that you have today then the real question is okay so what is driving these new experiences what is driving this new technology well it's no surprise that for us at

intel we believe what's really driving these technology innovations this new experiences is moore's law so i've been in this industry for 34 years and i know i don't look like it i know i look like passion must only be 33 years or something but but no 34 years i've heard the death of moore's law more times then then anything else in my career and i'm

here today to really show you and tell you that moore's law is alive and well and flourishing and to do that i could show a bunch of foils i could show a bunch of benchmarks and other kinds of devices but i thought best to just bring 10 nanometer cannon like product on stage and let you see it live and what we have it running right now is one of

our new intel commercials that is running on the tv right now and so for those who are wondering is moore's law live is 10 nanometers going to be here the answer is absolutely yes and i believe moore's law will be well beyond my career alive and well and kicking this is the first time we've shown 10 nanometers live operating on a system

and really proud of it we plan to ship product before the end of 2017 and as i said we're really excited about the performance and the opportunity that this product delivers so thank you so moorse law alive and well now what are the best examples i believe of this type of innovation and this technology is really around virtual reality and that's

what we're all here today to really have an experience and let me show you where this is headed and with any new technology it's always been that hardware lead software hardware led content it's almost inevitable almost has to be that way the hardware has to be there people have to believe that the experience can be real before they're

willing to invest the time the effort the technology to develop the content and today we're seeing incredible amount of content and we're going to show you that content but there's a unique thing about content in this kind of an experience and that is it creates incredible incredible amounts of data so the estimate is that by 2020 the average

person the average person will generate about one-and-a-half gigabytes a day of data and that's your tweets your emails your instagrams your facebook posts all of those kinds of things now that's up from about six hundred and fifty megabytes a day today so so little bit more than doubling which is which is pretty good considering that length of

time now let's take a look at intel's 360 replay which is playing on the screen behind me right now this system uses 38 high-definition 5k cameras to capture volumetrically the full stadium for this soccer match this system generates two terabytes a minute two terabytes a minute two thousand times the amount of data the average person

general it's this thing is generating every minute so you can imagine a 90 minute game a three hour game the amounts of data that are really being required to have these kinds of experiences so during this press event we're going to take you on what we think is the center of this data explosion we're going to

have you experienced some of these next-generation experiences we're going to go on a vr journey to really illustrate how the power of compute and in this incredible content will deliver an immersive vr experience to each and every one of you and now today's experience is being powered by 7th gen intel cores on systems that you

have in front of you that have been supplied by a series of our partners and you'll be viewing it on the oculus rift headset and today i'm going to show you examples how the digital and physical worlds are merging to create these amazing experiences now first we're going to take a look at the world of travel and we're going to

see how travellers changed by virtual reality and secondly we're going to go work we're going to go look at work and how work can be changed and transitions by virtual reality and then third we're going to have some fun we're going to see how play out gaming how other experiences can be changed by virtual reality i guarantee you this is going to

be fun this is going to be something you're going to go home and talk about at the end of tonight so let's begin with our travel experience and let's think about why we travel we travel because we want to have adventure we want to explore areas we've never been to we want to have experiences that we've never had all of those things are

about exploring the world around us a vr makes it possible to do this to have these experiences like you're really there and yet be in the comfort of your living room and i think talking about experiences like how many of us will climb everest i doubt very many in this room will how many of us will skydive maybe a

few in this room but all of us can do that using virtual reality from the comfort of our living room so let's get right into it let's get right to our first virtual reality experience it's going to be at fisher towers in moab utah have actually personally been there now once you put on your headsets this will be your world

really i want you to know you don't have to put on you headset yet if you don't want to this is your world you're going to want you to look around you're going to see some fellow travelers that's what i'll call them for right now and i really want you two to get into this experience so go ahead and put on your headsets

make sure you have your headphones on and we'll get started as a reminder if you have any issue just raise your hand and one of our helpers will come by and help you out with your system hello hey i want to hear hi there my name is roberto clemente have you ever wonder what it's like to fly like a bird high above the desert

able to look all around you in any direction well thanks to intel you're about to find out ok we are approaching see captain pete ok so hopefully that's an experience that you've probably never had i know that i'm not going to be jumping out of helicopters in a wingsuit but we all just experienced that really from a

first-person point of view and that kind of gives you start of an example of of what we're talking about here i want to take you from that which is kind of an adventure and experience that not many of us are none of us would probably ever do to the next generation which is to take a look at some of the future of video and how that kind of impact our

travel for the last 20 years that video has been basically the same you know we watch it on a flat screen some of them have started to become curved we've been improving the resolution with god you know up to 4k video now we may have 360 video where you can have a single position and you can rotate around that but all that's been locked for a single

point of view with an individual camera and we want to take video to the really the next step that walk we want you to be able to walk around while the video is actually playing to have that experience like you're really there right the video if you're that you produce in your eyes moves with you allows you to

travel through the space that's what would be cool with video or intel took the first step towards this type of what we call volumetric video technology with our acquisition of repay replay technologies which you saw in the soccer clip earlier which really allows you to move within the space within a single video concept we found an opportunity to

collaborate with another visionary in this space to bring volumetric video to more sports and other type of entertainment experiences and to really show us into tell us a little bit more about this and to share their vision of where this is headed i like to bring the co-founder of hypevr ted chillin on stage with me

good so i'm welcome to ces 2017 it's pretty excited to see so many people put on your head yeah that was that was fun huh yeah so maybe you could tell us a little bit about hypevr and the type of experience the audience is going to happen absolutely so hypevr is a young emerging

company that's a computer vision software company and to the point that you were mentioning about where is the future of video where is it going hypevr has a very specific singular mission to advance and involve the concept of what video actually is at its core to move it from that flat screen or just look around and be tacked in space

world that we're in vr but actually fully take you to where you are is going so you can actually move around and interact with that live video ok so that's that's going to be truly amazing so today what we're going to do is we're going to have the audience engaged in what we believe is the world's first

walk around video experience on the band rock waterfall in vietnam so i like everyone to go ahead and put on your headsets again yep and ted as you walk around this beautiful experience he's going to talk to you and walk you through the experience of it so as you put your headsets on you've all seen traditional

360 video and you are where you can look around and that's interesting and that's sort of a first step but now we're actually going to take you literally on a journey to vietnam so what i'm going to ask you to do first is look at the video around you just like you would look at a normal 360 video but now sort of tilt your head

from side to side around that barrel there this is in this amazing waterfall in this very remote area and in vietnam and you can see that the water behind that barrel is like you would see in real life like it's actually happening now if you feel comfortable sort of lean your head in and over that barrel a little bit like that yeah just because

with the wires but you've got it something you're really going for it which is great and you see everything is changing just like it would in the actual real-world that's what so it's pretty amazing what you guys do this now go ahead and look everybody to the right and you see that water buffalo there that was literally captured live

volumetric volumetrically in vietnam and as you move a little bit from side to side feel free to stand up if you're comfortable but be careful because you're tethered and you can see the water buffalo wrangler there behind and if you move a little bit from side to side you see how everything changes in the world that's because every single

pixel in this scene is literally mapped in space which of course is this massive computer computing undertaking to actually pull this off what you're seeing this is something that's never been seen certainly at this scale with this many people we've only seen in our engineering labs their engineers working on this and it's fantastic to see you

all literally doing this and taking video to the next level that's really what's happening so so this is truly amazing it's fun to watch the crowd and if we just had a way to spray water in their faces and i think there are literally at the the waterfall you know i got to imagine as you kind of mentioned there's an incredible amount

of data involved in this experience yeah the the things you start to look at this and notice what's going on this is high fidelity video capture this isn't cgi this is not a simulation this is really actually captured material at a very high frame rate was very high fidelity which requires massive amounts of computing which is why partnering with

intel is such a smart idea for on both sides of this equation because every single frame of this video is 3 gigabytes per frame as you look around it so you can imagine the computing power that's needed really entails the only one that covers pulled this off so okay so okay so go ahead and take your seats again go ahead and take your your

headsets off and ted i want to thank you for showing us what the future video is our pleasure we look forward to the next step ok thank you to everyone so in 2017 intel and hypevr will be partnering to deliver this style of content i really two more vr systems and too many more locations around the world and

this you can start now to imagine now you are confined to a a seat and tether a bit but you can imagine in your living room that be able to walk around view the next hotel room you're trying to go visit or the pool at the at the hotel or you know whatever the the event is you're going to go see or you want to see what your

seats would look like from an arena all that's completely doable in a virtual world like this you can literally be able to walk around encourage you all to encourage you all to visit the intel booth this experience will be there and it'll you'll have a little bit more space to walk around and you can really engage in the experience much much

deeper so as you've experienced firsthand today work we're offering a variety of ways to enjoy really what i call immersive travel and this in amazing technology as ted said is we believe you know so compute-intensive it it really needs a company like intel behind it to deliver this kind of experience but we all have to get up

during the week at least and go to work every day so i think it's it's be good if we take a look now at how we can do virtual reality and work and really how can effect or impact our work environment now for years people have performed dangerous work tasks every day and we've been exploring innovative ways that technology can eliminate the human

risk in that process you can think about all the dangerous work environments and you know difficult ones pipeline inspections or tower inspections and electrical inspections all of those kinds of things well today i'm going to make you all solar panel inspectors okay now this is a solar panel array that has to be

inspected regularly which means a person needs to go out and inspect these individually and that could be both time consuming it can be very costly and this one happens to be out in the desert of nevada so it can be very dangerous to be out there for extended periods of time in the heat around all of those panels drones have been used for this kind of

work for some period of time but typically what's been done is you have a single point of view you have single camera and you see where the jones pointed and you can't really look around we're going to do two things for you today we're going to give you a 360-degree view you'll be able to look

around inspect wherever you want to look and it's going to be live this is a live feed off a drone we will be inspecting those solar panels real-time so with every year for those who have done keynotes with me and and all i always take a certain amount of risk in them with live or a real time this will be one of them today there's

one other one later on where i'm going to do this and we're going to go live go inspect to some panels and get the direct feed from the drone so go ahead and put on your headsets and let's become solar panel inspectors so this is a power plant out in the malapa river indian reservation it covers over 2,000 acres has a capacity

to generate about 250 megawatts of energy which is equivalent to power about a hundred thousand homes a year so this is a large power support now to accomplish this inspection we've got a drone loaded with a high resolution for lens or a camera which is 4k and gives you this 360 degree view we also have a low-power high-capacity

compute solution on board to stitch this image together and transfer it to you here in the room now you can imagine that there's all kinds of applications for this but it's really valuable in this kind of a inspection it improves the efficiency by reducing the amount of time these guys can go out there and look for damage or you can imagine we

can use heat pro 8 cameras instead and look for hot spots we can keep the inspectors out of the extreme heat it can be done much more cost effective and much quicker and you can use multi parties we have 260 individuals inspecting these systems right now which really you can imagine a search-and-rescue type environment

okay we're done inspected so my risk worked off paid off that was truly alive if you go outside that's about where the sun is right now and that's about the number of clouds so you know drones have been used for that kind of inspection for some period of time but again as i said it's not typically been live over a distance like this it's not over 260

individuals watching it at the same time and it hasn't given you that 360 degree view you can imagine a search-and-rescue effort where somebody's lost at sea somebody's lost at the forest having 250 eyes helping search 360 degrees it's gonna be much quicker to find somebody then sending a bunch of people out into the field so all of this we believe is

how just one example of how work can be transformed by virtual exact virtual reality truly believe in these kinds of experiences for inspections for search-and-rescue for life-saving activities for dangerous work that can save lives you can save money and it can save time and that's really the solution that we believe can can bring value to

the end-user ok so and i have no my second issue may may not work out too well for me wells will see so we've seen our vr can change our view of travel and work experiences but really okay that's that's that space so what's next let's switch gears and talk about how until is going to transform the experience of sports and entertainment

and this you know if you take a look at the internet and how the internet really exploded sports and entertainment is what always driven these kinds of hardware transitions so we're going to start with how virtual reality and this whole volumetric capability is going to impact traditional sports now we may have to do

this twice because unfortunately this timing is just not quite perfect but in 2016 intel acquired a company called voke voke uses six to eight cameras that have about a hundred and eighty degree view and to deliver uh the depth and clarity of a true stereoscopic experience and natural viewing environment so think of this as this

system creates the same view that you would have if you're sitting in a seat what this means is that from the comfort of your home you can be transported to your favorite seat at a sporting event the front row of a concert or even behind the scenes of an award show because we can really provide this in multiple locations and give you the

choice of multiple advantage points viewers get to decide their point of view viewers will get to decide what seat they have that's the future of we what we believe of sports viewing so you're going to decide do you want to be on the 50-yard line do you want to be courtside at the basketball game you want to be hot be

behind the basket to watch the next slam-dunk you want to be in the goalies position so you can watch from the goalies position all about all of that as possible now my plan is to take you to a live event right now unfortunately it's halftime so let's go ahead and at least it looks

like the players are coming back on the court and we'll come back to this experience at the end as well we'll have some time but i want to give you the first experience they're just coming back on the court to warm back up go ahead and put on your headsets this is an ncaa game it's live it's butler playing villanova in indianapolis this

is the first time something like this has ever been done 260 people are going to go watch a live basketball game in this case it's the warm-ups now that you're in the game and again like i said i'll give you some time to come back to the game at the end of this presentation if you look up you will see the scoreboard

so we can now see what the score of the game is if you look to the far right so you can see it's 3127 going villanova if you look to the far right all the way to the far right you'll see the conference standings so villanova's in first place to know if you look all the way down you will see two camera views those will allow you to choose between those

cameras you simply hover over the are the blue camera that and let the dot go you'll switch to that camera point of view ok ok so let's back out of this experience doesn't take your headsets off you know i apologize the best-laid plans of of ces right that i would end up right at

halftime but i'm going to give you i i do think this is a neat experience and i want to give you guys back there so i'm i've gotta feed to the game up here i'll get us back towards the end of this presentation for those who want to have that live experience so that you can actually see the game why because without watching it live it's it's

really amazing but you can see the future there you can now watch that game from the seat that you choose and you can put up your statistics we can put up fantasy statistics if your fantasy player you can watch the scoreboard you you really get to choose how you experience the game this is the first time vokevr which is the streaming

methodology has been used on oculus rift it will be available in oculus rift later in 2017 it's available today on the samsung gear vr we are broadcasting football games football highlights ncaa games will be a host of content coming throughout the year concerts other games soccer we really believe that being able to experience

sports like you are actually there is another great example of how we are content creation that is as a incredible progression from where it is today to how you're going to view content in the future in 2016 intel launched our sports group specifically designed at bringing this capability to you into the future we truly believe this will revolutionize

the experiences for the fans you saw that today for the athletes imagine being able to watch your game from that perspective and and rather than the normal highlights normally sees and the the referees the judges imagine now the replays that they're able to use for understanding the game or understanding a decision

being a replay from the foot floor or the replay like you saw from the la liga we want to take this technology you just experienced and apply to different sports around the world in december we had the opportunity to announce that we'll be partnering with the leading european league la liga in an incredible new adventure in soccer

intel is equipping three la liga stadiums with our intel 360 we play technology like you saw at the beginning of this to provide the best view of every play this will be broadcast across the 38th major channels from all over the world starting this season and i'm excited to say we've signed a three-year partnership with la liga with future

plans to expand too many other venues this is the future of sports this is the future how you hbu sports it's going to become a totally immersive experience and you're going to have an opportunity to go to games that you'd never be able to go to before we're really excited so let's shift gay gears to the next place which is gaming now i

think gaming is really the most common application when people talk about virtual reality and for us intel you can't really talk about gaming and virtual reality without also talking about what we called merge reality merged reality is when you're completely untethered no cords at all it allows you to interact with both the

virtual and the real world in a totally seamless way and we believe this is a game changer and it's driven by technologies that intel has been developing like real sense and our project alloy so project alloy is progressing very well for many of you you heard us talk about project alloy at our developer conference in the middle

of 2016 vr today requires a fairly complex setup you have one in front of you today it requires sensors to understand where you're at it requires a tether back to a pretty high performance computing we want to simplify all of that so let's take a look at this this is our all-in-one merge reality system that we

call project alloy it's an immersive experience and thanks to intel realsense technology it is everything is in the headset itself you need no other setup you simply put this on turn it on and you're ready to go on this headset we have two real sense cameras built-in we have integrated computing built into the system vision accelerators and the

battery all in this weight balance comfortable untethered all-in-one headset we believe that the future of virtual reality is here and that the possibilities are endless for what alloy can deliver so this is the system but i think it's best to actually see the system at work so what i'd like to do right now is welcome

chuck on stage to show us just how the technology is progressing hey brian how's it going good check ok so maybe you could tell us a little bit about how project alloy is progressing and what's new the project alloy has made some huge strides since we last shoulder at idf so like to take a look at the room behind

us here is like typical living room you'd have in your house or apartment now the first thing i want you to notice there's no sensors in that room both of you have played vr before typically either have laser sensors in the corner or tracking camera just like having tables in front of you but with project alloy we have seamless tracking

built right in to the headset so no needed extra hardware now also take a look no cables attached to them so playing this completely untethered able to move around the room freely not tied to their computer now we've already scared the living room you can see it on the computer on the screen above us so eli

jaan can you start the game and we're going to convert this living room into something a little bit more at all entertaining so now you can see the sofas the chairs the bookcases those are all going to go away we're going to get radar we're gonna get armor bunkers we're going to get shield generators were going to plasma power

supplies all that comes into the living room making our gaming experience much more immersive who wants to shoot over their couch right so pretty soon you're gonna see those walls which were walls those go away now we have a great skyview now we're truly in the gaming environment that took us completely out of our living room so so now this is a

gaming environment that is typically what i'm used to exactly this is a great gaming environment and they're able to play pretty soon you see the spaceships coming here or going to shoot him down but notice table that is still walk around the living room table to hide behind the couch which is no longer

account is now a bunker were able to shoot the aliens of the spaceships and yet we have this great gaming experience in our living room but still the room becomes part of our gaming experience and i'm like normal virtual reality they're able to see each other we don't think i say you know brings it immersive that brings you in with your player if

you were no longer isolated just their own game by yourself and we also have multiple points of view we have the overhead view plus we have the game the experience of seeing it from the gamers perspective wow ok thanks a lot check this is great i really appreciate you coming out and showing us where our project alloy is

and the progress you've made that's fine so we're genuinely excited about project alloyed where this takes virtual reality it takes a lot of the questions people have about i'm isolated or i'm you know how do i interact with the real world had tethered all of those things go around allows your surroundings become

part of the gaming and the system can work both ways in this case we brought the real world into virtual world and then transform the real world you can also look through the system and take the real world and put a virtual world in it so you could have taken one of those aliens and had him sitting on your couch and talking to you now what many

people don't know is my my living room looks like that bunker my life disco is complaining about it all the time so today i'm excited to announce that we're planning to productize product alloy by q4 of 2017 with some of our top om partners we're committed to really making project alloy an open platform and as we

announced in the developer conference in 2016 we're allowing anybody who wants to build on this hardware to build we will give the instructions the software everything whatever anybody needs to build and manufacture these systems we want to see this because we believe it really brings that creativity and those

experiences to where they need to be and it's powered by the compute finally we're also excited to share that the high pr that we saw earlier with the travel experience of the vietnam waterfall will be brought to that to the project alloy as well later this year so all of the experiences whether it's been sports or the gaming experience for the

travel experiences will all be brought to project alloy as well as well as things like the gear vr the traditional systems like caviar and oculus and an htc about seeing this demonstration is fun and it's nice to see it up here in a controlled environment but i'm a firm believer that you know to make this system real you

really have to have your own access to it so i'm going to invite all of you you all have a vip invitation to come to the skybox on the second floor the intel booth on the floor at ces you can put on project alloy yourself and you can experience merge reality real time i think this will be the first time a large audience like this gets access to

the technology we just finished like i said the first development models back in the summer you'll see how we've progressed and there's a lot you'll see now what what we have and what how far we can go by the end of this year working with our partners ok so we've talked about merge reality we've shown you how that can transform

gaming and you're working your environment i think let's talk now into what we call more the traditional gaming and one of the most dynamic entertainment experiences out there with technology is gaming itself and the gaming industry is capitalizing on the fastest processors right gamers always want the best systems they can get their

hands on high-speed systems immersive virtual reality experiences that's what they're targeted so i'd like to take another experience for you let's take a first-hand look at the incredible immersive quality of games specifically designed for virtual reality i'm going to show you in virtual reality a trailer of one of the hottest

new games out there arizona sunshine before you put your headset on or if you just put your headset on be a little bit forewarned this this game includes amies the little gory i enjoy it but some people have gotten a little queasy at it and i want you to enjoy the experience so go ahead and put your headsets on and

put your headphones on because you want to hear them and let's watch the game trailer ok so so your reactions to her the reactions all of his hand as we watch that game for sometimes it even if you watch the second or third time and you know that lady's going to leap out at you at the end you still react like

that i want to go ahead and put up the folk feed hold on your headsets halftimes over its going to take them about 40 seconds to get it to your headset so hold on a second on that i want to go back to there is no sunshine for a second you know what you just saw was how the graphics and gameplay are taken to the next level these are the

kinds of games you're going to start seeing as the the games that are really designed for virtual reality become available this year and that's the kind of content that's really going to transform gaming and don't worry i'm going to give you a little bit more experience with that as well at the end of the show

hopefully my voke vr ok it's good i just got the thumbs up go ahead and put your headsets on i want you to go back to that basketball game live same process it works you can go up look at the scoreboard we'll see what the score is 3129 gonna but what bulldogs are catching up you can look down and choose between the

camera views and you can look to the right it's this conference standings likely those haven't changed since the last time you visited but i really want to show you that this is a live feed we're really watching this game it's not that different than if you were sitting in one of those seats depending on which

camera you choose and it really is it gives you the experience of being there on site almost caught that ball okay i'm gonna pull you guys out because otherwise we found we watch that game for a long time whenever we watch them you can go check online and see that that truly was a live feed not any kind

of delay our recording and that kind of gives you the first touch of where this is headed with sports and that experience we're already working on the the t-shirt cannon that will come through virtual reality and deliver a t-shirt to your house i'm not kidding with that we've started

about having the in arena experience that realistic imagine it over driver pulling up at your door and delivering you the t-shirt because your virtual headset caught the t-shirt that was shot out of the cannon towards our camera that will be coming to your house near you we really think that these kinds of

experiences are where virtual reality is headed where it's it's going why we're excited i wanted to give you a touch of these so that you get excited about it too i know a lot of people are questioning is virtual reality going to take off is it going to go anywhere i hope these experiences give you just a scratch of

where it's headed we have a lot more coming over the next several years we have technologies that are just going to make this unbelievable and we believe intel is leading this unprecedented change and we'll make this vision of reality i want to thank you for taking this journey with me today and this is hopefully been a fun and

experiential way to kick off your cs a little bit different than the normal boring press conferences also want to thank our partners acer seuss gigabyte hp lenovo msi oculus all collaborated with us to put those systems in front of you this afternoon i want you to enjoy the rest of cs 2017 for those who would like to play arizona

sunshine stay in your seat after we're done raise your hand we'll have somebody come will reboot the game on your system locally will give you the hands and the hand controllers and you can fight off the zombies now real time we wanted to provide that experience so you could have a little

fun as you and your day and you go on again thank you very much for being here with me today and have a fantastic ceos
