Intel is all set to take on virtual reality and videos by collaborating with Carnegie Mellon University and Stanford University.
The company has tied up with Carnegie Mellon University to implement a three-year, $4.125 million research program to unlock the value of the growing volume of online video.
Together, the duo will put new analytics capabilities and immersive technologies within reach of consumers, businesses and public officials, Intel announced in its press release.
The goal of the Intel Science and Technology Center (ISTC) for Visual Cloud Systems is to accelerate large-scale development and adoption of cloud-based computing systems architecture to handle the rapidly increasing amount of video content generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) devices, including online cameras and drones, as well as by content creators and broadcasters.
Intel will also contribute its data center and IoT expertise. Carnegie Mellon will apply its expertise in cloud computing, visual computing, computer vision, storage systems and databases, and networking. Stanford University will contribute computational photography and domain-specific language expertise for the ISTC for Visual Cloud Systems.
