Tablet today's increasingly sophisticated but mostly it's the sophistication of the software, even if the hardware side only limited speech or screen camera only, while the functions of a tablet itself is still the same hold but may be different next year.
Intel has demonstrated a technology that will be named RealSense a tablet can have a function as a 3D scanner that can scan a person or an object in 3-D and then converted into a tablet.
3D scanner itself is not new but a 3D scanner in a tablet is certainly nothing new, and a new function that will be in the tablet although perhaps not everyone need a 3D scanner technology in a tablet.
The plan Intel could bring a 3D scanner technology in tablets in 2015 and subsequent Intel also targeted for 3D features in a mobile scanner.
