In 2011, Intel decided to enter the smartphone space. Someone had the idea to differentiate an Intel phone with context awareness and pinged me.
Good idea, nice people. I talked about incrementing context features--assuming big hardware improvements.
For market traction, I told a dev they should offer what became the OVER/Niantic plan, with a focus on indoors. Buyers of Intel's smartphone did photos for mapping to pay for their phones, then keep mapping for revenue.
Aside from low CPU power in 2011, Intel wasn't & isn't capable of doing a competitive phone, nor implementing such a consumer-focused functionality. So they sold a processor to some phone mfrs, requiring the Intel Inside label. Don’t know if there was anything more in the mix.
The idea's getting closer to reality.
