Intel RealSense was in some ways an idea ahead of its time: its depth sensing technology didn't start feeling really necessary until virtual reality came on the scene. It's partnering with a small headset company called-IonVR to create a mobile headset that can map the world (and your hands) without wires, controllers, or external cameras. Instead of a normal phone, the company's latest design uses Intel's RealSense Smartphone Developer Kit, an Android-powered prototype whose sensors can gather a dense array of visual information from up to 3 meters away.
