Intel has unveiled its next evolution of virtual-reality goggles Project Alloy, which drags real-world objects into the virtual realm using 3D cameras.

The headset uses Intel’s real sense cameras, which have depth sensing capabilities, to allow, without need for additional sensors, objects such as the user’s hands to be tracked and entered into the virtual world displayed within the goggles.

Intel’s chief executive, Brian Krzanich, said, merge virtual reality world experiences more dynamically and naturally than ever before and makes experiences impossible in the real world now possible.

Intel’s next stage of VR technology, having missed out on the mobile space now dominated by designs developed by rival ARM. The US chip giant recently pulled out of the smartphone chip market. The power efficiency and capability of ARM designs made by Samsung, Qualcomm, Apple and others used in billions of mobile devices worldwide. It also announced a deal to manufacturer ARM designs in its plants.

Intel hopes its work with companies DAQRI, its real sense 3D cameras and processor technology will become essential to the next generation of VR and AR systems currently in development.

Intel has backing from Microsoft, which announced to support Project Alloy with its Windows Holographic system. This software is development with Microsoft’s own AR solution.
