Intel Curie: a controller to wear on

Designing and manufacturing wearable electronics will now become much easier - after Intel presented the ready-made modular platform Curie at CES. Intel’s CEO Brian Krzhanich demonstrates it. The device is made in the shape of a button (a hint, definitely!) And includes an Intel Quark processor, 384 kb of flash memory, a set of sensors, a Bluetooth module and a power management system. To make it easier for developers, along with Curie, Intel released Intel IQ Software Kits of various orientations for it, including a tiny, real-time OS, as well as sample applications.

Intel Curie sales start scheduled for the second half of this year.
