Intel has developed its own digital assistant and has shown it off at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show.
The company unveiled Jarvis – its digital assistant – on stage during its keynote for the trade show in Las Vegas.
Jarvis is a Bluetooth headset that wraps around the back of the users ears; a bit like a bulky hearing aid.
Intel demonstrated some of its features during the keynote. By pairing it with an Android smartphone app, users can remotely interact and control the phone.
Examples of features include being able to ask for directions, look up restaurants and so on. If it sounds like what you can do now with Apple’s Siri and Google Now, that’s because it is pretty much the same.
However, don’t expect to get your hands on Jarvis any time soon. Intel has said that it is just a reference design for the time being.
It would be up to Intel’s manufacturing partners to take the design and turn it into an actual product.
The device is part of what Intel’s chief executive Brian Krzanich called the company’s push to “make everything smart”.
The company also showed off a number of other reference designs that fit in with that goal. They include a pair of smart earbuds that can track a wearer’s run and a bowl that can wirelessly charge gadgets placed in it.
