Intel looks to providing smart wearable gadgets

Intel has unveiled a computer built into a jacket button and a wristband that transforms into a selfie-snapping flying camera, as the chipmaker extends its push into smart wearable gadgets.

Intel chief executive Brian Krzanich also announced a five-year, €250m investment in maths-related education and other programs to help employ more women and minorities in the technology and video game industries.

Mr Krzanich used most of his keynote to talk up Intel’s efforts in computerized apparel and other sensor-packed gadgets.
