RealSense is an Intel technology
Acer is bringing Intel’s Kinect-esque RealSense 3D camera to its Aspire V Nitro series of gaming laptops, the company announced in a press release Saturday. Available in North America since October 2014, the Aspire V Nitro family currently contains as many as a dozen models, all of which either have a 17.3-inch or 15.6-inch display. The new RealSense-toting models will all be of the V 17 Nitro variety, meaning they will rock 17.3-inch displays.
“The Intel RealSense 3D camera includes a conventional camera, an infrared camera and an infrared laser projector. Together, they infer depth by detecting infrared light that has bounced back from objects in front of it. This visual data, taken in combination with Intel RealSense motion-tracking software, creates a touch-free interface that responds to hand and head motions as well as facial expressions,” the press release reads.
Priced between $1,200 and $1,1800, all existing V Nitro series laptops come with a quad-core Intel Core i7-4710HQ processor, Nvidia GeForce GTX860M graphics card with up to 4GB DDR5 VRAM, up to; 16GB of RAM, 128GB or 256GB solid-state storage, up to 1TB HDD and 802.11ac wireless connectivity, and either a Blu-ray Disc drive or an 8X DVD burner.
The new V17 models with Intel’s RealSense 3D technology will be available later this month, the company said, adding that “specs, prices and availability will vary by region.”
