Intel hopes to win gold at the Olympics using drones and VR

Intel CEO Brian Krzanich says drones will play a vital role showing action at the Olympics. The Olympic Games don't just attract the world's best athletes, they're also a platform for emerging technologies like virtual reality, 5G connectivity, artificial intelligence and drones. Tech giant Intel said Wednesday it's now an official worldwide partner of the games through 2024. Intel CEO Brian Krzanich and International Olympics Committee President Thomas Bach signed off on the deal during an event in New York. The new deal will begin during the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in February, where 16 events will be shown through Intel's True VR.
