Intel announces wireless VR headset Project Alloy

Leading chip manufacturer Intel has revealed its own entry in the VR space, an all-in-one device currently titled Project Alloy.

Intel has built its RealSense cameras into the device, which will sense the environment around you to prevent players from bumping into hazards. In fact, the firm claims you’ll be able to move even further around your environment with what it calls room to room tracking”.

It also has some form of hand-tracking so users can interact with virtual objects, and incorporates Windows Holographic OS.
