(Telecompaper) Intel announced further expansion in the wearables market at CES in Las Vegas. Oakley will be the first brand to work with Intel under the company's previously announced cooperation with eyewear maker Luxottica. Oakly CEO Colin Baden said at a presentation that the companies are working on an "intelligent product", available later this year, designed to enhance athletes' performance. Intel also disclosed plans for the Intel Curie module, a tiny hardware product based on the company's first purpose-built system-on-chip for wearable devices. The module is scheduled to ship in the second half of this year and includes the Intel Quark SE SoC, Bluetooth low-energy radio, sensors and battery charging. Intel also highlighted Nixie, the winner of the company's "Make it Wearable" challenge. Nixie is a camera that rests on the user's wrist like a bracelet. It can unfold and take flight on cue to take photos. Intel will sponsor the "Make it Wearable" challenge again later this year.
