intel visual computing instituteIntel is investing $12 million to create a new research center in europe aimed at exploring advanced graphics and visual computing technologies.  Opening today, the Intel Visual Computing Institute is located at Saarland University in Saarbruken, Germany.

Visual computing, by Intel’s definition, is the analysis, enhancement and display of visual information to create life-like, real-time experiences and more natural ways for people to interact with computers and other devices. Applications include games, medical imaging and interactive 3D data models used in areas such as scientific research and financial services.

Specifically, the lab will be focusing on tera-scale computing and now multiple graphics cores can produce higher performance computing and more life-like graphics.
