Intel brings its new smartwatches and headset devices

Intel wants to prove that it's not just a PC company anymore.
As the world has shifted to devices for people on the go, the company is trying to make sure it keeps apace with the market. Chief Executive Brian Krzanich on Monday introduced a bevy of wearable related technology at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.

The company also introduced a smartwatch that has smart "geo-fencing" which, Krzanich says, has the capability to monitor the person who's wearing it from afar. One use case: in case of an emergency and a person steps out of the geo-fence, the watch can send out an alert. "You can imagine all kinds of applications," said Krzanich. Still, some consumers may have privacy concerns.

Intel earlier a chip company is now heading towards the other fields of technology and wants to expand its business soon.Intel has been working on its wearables projects for the past six months and plans to deliver products later this year. Unlike other wearables on the market, Krzanich said Intel’s smartwatch will have its own connectivity and won’t need to be tethered to another Internet-enabled mobile device such as a smartphone
