Intel outlined an ambitious vision of future technologies Thursday at this year’s Intel Developer Forum held in San Francisco. In his keynote address Justin Rattner, Intel’s chief technology officer, spoke about and demonstrated several technologies he said would be part of an evolution that closes the gap between humans and machines by 2050. Key concepts demoed during Rattner’s talk included a wireless power source for recharging devices, shape-shifting devices made with so-called programmable matter, and personal robot prototypes.
This is nice that more companies are getting involved in the wireless electricity revolution. I know that a company called PowerBeam is also involved in the wireless era and they transmit energy through optical energy, instead of the copper wires and the electro-magnetic field.
