This is how its CEO explained it, Brian Krzanich, during the Intel Developer Forum celebration (IDF) in San Francisco, with the presentation of this prototype of wireless mixed reality glasses that allows the user's hands to be used in the virtual world together with real-world objects with functions in this virtual environment thanks to the integration of different sensors.
