Long, thin boards with a 3D sensing device, special processor, and multiple cameras were embedded in tablets and laptops to map and monitor touch. The RealSense sensor has a depth map and can monitor 78 points on the face and 22 points on the hand.

The points could be used for more accurate body modelling.

They also could be used for improved motion control in gaming.

Using the same technology, Intel was able to project images from a computer into a 3D touch-capable display. Officials said such technology could be used in kiosks and immersive games.
