Intel Links to the Living-Room!

CPU manufacturer Intel is reportedly working on a new technology that will allow handheld and mobile devices to connect to any high-definition screen using a wireless connection. The chip manufacturer is lately more and more concerned with the handheld and the so-called Mobile Internet Devices, alleged to be powered by the company’s upcoming Atom chip.

Miniaturization has always been one of the key elements in designing mobile gadgets and handheld devices. They had to be small enough to fit into a pocket, but at the same time, the new possibilities require a display large enough to render multimedia clips or take high-resolution photos.

According to Vic Lortz, researcher and senior architect at Intel’s Communications Technology Lab, Intel is working on a new technology that will allow its upcoming handheld devices to wirelessly communicate with big-screen digital TVs and use their displays as the primary interface with the human whenever this is possible.

“Imagine if digital TVs included a wireless display feature (either integrated or through an external adapter) so that a MID could easily use that large display instead of or in addition to the integrated screen of the MID,” he wrote on the company blog. Wow! this is a great gadgets guys, I’m sure we will love it… c”,)
