Microsoft Teams Up Intel To Initiate Project Evo, What is That?

Intel and Microsoft are the two names that can not be separated from the development of technology, and we have witnessed the rapid changes and how the transition is closely related to consumer behavior. Take for instance RealSense. This technology was originally designed for the PC, but is now also implemented into drones so they could see in 3D.

Seeing the potential of the great achievements that await in the future, both the tech giant decided to join hands. In the event the Windows Hardware Engineering Community in the city of Shenzhen, Microsoft announced a program in collaboration with Intel to 'marry' the most essential innovations in the field hadware, software and services of both companies to create the next big breakthroughs. This initiative they named Project Evo.

Microsoft and Intel hope to walk together, they could make a leap in gaming segments, mixed reality, a personal digital assistant Cortana and Windows Hello. Project Evo itself is part of Microsoft's efforts to evolve its partner with the PC capabilities to the next level - with more sophisticated security system, always connected, efficient in the use of electricity, as well as business-me-right mainstream artificial intelligence.

There are four things that become the target of Microsoft and Intel:

• Enhance remote communication systems at Cortana so you can ask questions or ask him to sing songs from across the room.
• Innovation in the realm of Esport, broadcasting, solidify support 4K resolution, HDR, wide color gamut, spatial audio, and affix the native Bluetooth connection on the Xbox controller.
• Providing security solutions to protect the device from malware and hacking threats, as well as the increasing sophistication of biometric authentication system with Windows Hello, plus support for Microsoft Intelligent Security Graph as well as analysis of Intel.
• Introduce mixed reality experiences through head-mounted display products and affordable PCs, in an effort to unite the virtual content with real-world objects.

To the last point above, Microsoft and Intel has already proposed steps. First, they seek approval from the Chinese government so that developers and consumers in China can start using HoloLens in the first half of 2017. Both companies have also been mixed reality headset specs distributed to the partners such as Asus, Dell, HP and Lenovo.


Furthermore, there are tens of thousands of app is ready to use (including video 360 degrees), then headset will reportedly be available for developers at the Game Developers Conference 2017 event.
