Nós já falamos aqui sobre a conexão USB 3.0, chamado de superspeed por ser até dez vezes mais rápido que o padrão atual 2.0 (hi-speed). Parece que finalmente a super conexão, em desenvolvimento desde 2007, vai sair do papel. Essa semana, durante o Intel Developer Fórum (IDF), em San Francisco, será mostrado o primeiro protótipo de uma câmera de alta definição (1080p) para se conectada a um computador, usando o padrão USB 3.0.
A câmera foi desenvolvida pela Point Grey Research e conta com um sensor de 3 megapixels, capaz de gerar imagens com resolução 1920×1080p a 60 quadros por segundo. A conexão será feita num micro criado pela Intel (processador, chipset, placa mãe e afins, serão obviamente da empresa) e segundo os executivos o fato de ter imagens nessa resolução e com uma comunicação rápida irá levar ao desenvolvimento de uma nova gama de aplicativos para serem associados à câmera, como, por exemplo, o reconhecimento de face.
