Intel shows how this button-sized chip could revolutionize live sports

Intel had one of the coolest presentations at this year's CES, when it brought BMX riders, skateboarders, and free-runners alongside its CEO Brian Krzanich on-stage for its keynote speech earlier this week.
The action-packed performance was done to showcase its new button-sized chip, Curie, which can be attached to a sports device or the athlete's body to trasnmit data about their performance.
Intel sees a future where Curie is used in all sports, for both professionals and amateurs, to enhance the entire sports consuming experience.
"With Curie, we believe we created what’s going to change the world of sports," Krzanich said. "It's the start of a dramatic revolution in sports."
For example, snowboarders can mount Curie on their snowboards and see real-time data about their speed, jump level and distance, as well as the number of spins its does. TV broadcasters can display that data in real-time, and let the viewers have a more engaging experience, too.
