Intel unveils Project Alloy all-in-one virtual reality headset (update)

Intel chief executive Brian Krzanich announced today that the world’s biggest chip maker is working on its own all-in-one virtual reality headset, Project Alloy, that allows you to explore virtual worlds untethered.

Project Alloy has compute, graphics, batteries, and sensors self-contained in one package — you don’t need to connect it to a computer. It has Intel RealSense cameras built-in, sensing the environment so that you won’t run into anything.
