Reuters reports Intel and Total Immersion are cooperating on augmented reality technologies:
Total Immersion, a pioneer in emerging field of augmented reality (AR), is working with Intel to bring AR features, like gesture recognition, into Intel's chipsets, an executive of the privately held firm said on Wednesday.

Speaking at the Reuters Global Media Summit, Total Immersion's marketing chief Antoine Brachet said consumer acceptance will decide when products would reach the market, but he thinks this could happen in 2-3 years.

Running on smartphones or computers, AR overlays digital information - text, graphics, games -- on images of the world around us.
The chip giant invested $5.5 million in Total Immersion in March.
