Intel and Nokia create laboratory in Finland

It will employ about two dozen R&D professionals and become the latest member of Intel’s European Research Network, Intel Labs Europe. Initially the lab will conduct research for new and compelling mobile user experiences that could leverage the rapidly increasing capabilities of mobile devices. Another potential area of research could look into technologies that allow displaying a 3-D hologram of the person you are talking to on the phone, a capability only found in science fiction movies today. The lab will be located at the Center for Internet Excellence at the University of Oulu, and will work closely with the Oulu Urban Living Labs.
