During IDF Intel has various RACK, or Next Unit of Computing, shown that alternative bedieningsmethodes. One of the mini-computer was equipped with a touchpad on top of the housing, that tactile feedback.
One of the RACK’s that Intel showed was a copy with a new Broadwell chip on board. It was indeed a Core m processor, but Intel had some buttons of the engineering sample is rotated, causing the tdp at 15W output. Thus, the processor of the RACK differs from that of the Core m processors that Intel at IFA introduced. The Broadwell update is not the only thing new on the RACK: Intel’s small computer with a touch interface. A touchpad, as big as the top of the RACK, gives so-called haptic feedback when adjusting the volume. In other words: the touchpad click back and feels like Apple’s click wheel of yesteryear.
The touch interface, developed together with Redux, was just one of the enhancements to the RACK. Intel demonstrated a copy, even with Haswell processor, which is the top of a speaker. Any thin material, plastic in this case, by special motion drivers into vibration. Intel also had prototypes of balsa wood, cardboard, and even Gorilla glass. In the future, the company may have to the production of such a RACK’s facilitation: the technique is together with SoundEdge developed.
On the same Haswell-RACK demonstrated Intel also how the small pc via voice can be controlled. So can voice commands be used to, for example, a media player to operate. Finally, the company had a mini-RACK, slightly smaller than a regular, on IDF. That RACK contains a passively cooled Atom processor and not via a separate power supply, but through a micro-usb plug of energy. Two usb ports, a hdmi output and D-sub-connector are the ports of this mini-mini-pc. Since the RACK’s prototypes, Intel is still nothing on pricing and availability say.
