Intel Shows Off Interesting Way to Access Content
January 30, 2010, 6:30 amAt the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas earlier this month, Intel had a lot of things going on. For one, they introduced a whole new family of Intel Core Processors. They also had a cool proof-of-concept device on display. This was something they call the Intel Infoscape.
Infoscape is a giant display featuring cubes of information, and users can walk up to it and access all kinds of different content - Google News, Tweets, blogs, Flickr images, etc. While on display at CES, the content dealt with CES-related info.
Being a proof-of-concept device, Infoscape is designed to look at different ways of presenting content down the road. The giant cube is powered by Intel’s Core I7 processor, and pulls from about 20,000 different content sources.
The Infoscape displays its content on a double HD screen at 1920×1920 resolution, running at over 100 frames per second. For the event, it was organized into content areas like healthcare, habitat, the environment, communications, transportation, etc.
According to Intel, the device is aimed at exploring how people might access and organize their content in the future. What do you think?
