Intel unveiled its Project Alloy headset at the Las Vegas CES 2017 tech show. The new Project Alloy VR headset from Intel is still being developed but a working prototype has already been demoed at the 2017 CES tech show in Las Vegas.

Intel's Chief Executive, Brian Krzanich, revealed that the tech company has plans to license the Project Alloy VR headset to other manufacturers on the later part of 2017. Though analysts believe that the Virtual Reality market is still a difficult market to get into, the tech giant remains unfazed in entering the VR market.

The Intel VR headset will not require a separate Personal Computer to function. The Intel VR headset features a built in battery which allows users to enjoy their VR headset even if it is not connected to a power source.

In the unveiling of the Intel VR headset at the Las Vegas CES 2017, two users demonstrated the capabilities and features of the new VR headset from Intel. In the demonstration, it was shown that the Intel VR headset is capable of replicating and projecting the replica of a room in the VR headgear. This Intel VR headset feature is dubbed as merged reality by the tech company.

Though Intel's Project Alloy VR headset was already unveiled August last year, the Intel VR headset featured at the Las Vegas CES 2017 is more advanced than what was initially introduced. However, some pundits were disappointed upon learning that the external environment projected by the Intel VR headset was pre-scanned. The concept of having a cableless headset for the Intel VR was however praised by tech and gadget experts in the Las Vegas CES 2017 event.

Intel also announced at the CES 2017 event that the tech company will not be manufacturing the Project Alloy VR headset and will license the tech to other manufacturers to produce and build upon beginning final quarter of 2017.a
