Intel is preparing to update the PC platform (unclear if mobile or desktop although likely mobile); with the ability for a PC to adapt to its surroundings. This would mean adjusting the brightness on-the-fly based on ambient light (a feature that's existed on mobile phones for 20 years now); but also to detect the presence of a user in its vicinity. The company didn't detail how it goes about this, but technologies already exist to combine visual input from the PC's cameras; radio from the PC's antennas, audio from its mic array; to form a picture of its surroundings.

Intel's next-gen PC platforms could introduce hardware called the Visual Sensing Controller (codenamed "Clover Falls,") a device that serves as a "companion module" to the processor, giving it additional AI capabilities. The chip will serve a dual purpose as a security module, using visual inputs to detect user-presence. This possibly builds on Windows Hello, but now has certain additional capabilities (you probably won't need to sit still and put on your poker face).
