Intel is reportedly working on a new augmented reality headset

Intel is reportedly jumping into the world of augmented reality with a new headset. The company is using its RealSense 3D camera technology in the AR headset, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Augmented reality is a separate but similar idea to virtual reality. Instead of taking up your entire field of view with computer-generated visuals, AR allows you to see the real world, but overlays visuals onto it. Intel’s foray into AR rather than VR makes it stand out against the deluge of VR headsets that have been announced or have hit the retail market in the past year.
