Elliptic Labs (OSE: ELABS), a global AI software company known for its AI Virtual Smart Sensors, announced a collaboration with Intel Corporation to integrate its AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform with Intel Core Ultra processors and Intel Evo Edition platforms. The partnership is aimed at improving the performance and usability of premium laptops through software-based sensing technology, without requiring additional hardware.
The collaboration is designed to create laptops that are more responsive, energy-efficient, and user-centric. Elliptic Labs’ Virtual Smart Sensor technology enables capabilities such as instant wake when a user is detected, display power management to conserve energy when a user leaves, and edge AI sensing for low-power environmental monitoring in docking scenarios, even when the laptop lid is closed.
The platform also supports multi-device collaboration, allowing smoother interoperability between laptops and smartphones across both Android and iOS. This feature enables users to transfer files, share photos, move sessions in applications such as Microsoft Teams or Spotify, and connect Bluetooth devices with a single tap.
Laila Danielsen, CEO of Elliptic Labs, said the technology is already in use in commercial products and continues to expand. “Our AI Virtual Smart Sensor Platform is delivering experiences today like Lenovo’s Smart Share, which enables seamless device-to-device interoperability, and we’re just getting started,” she noted.
Intel highlighted the partnership as part of its strategy to advance AI-enabled PC experiences. Tom Wynn, Director of the Premium Consumer Segment and Intel Evo Platform in Intel’s Client Computing Group, said Elliptic Labs’ software-based approach contributes to the Evo platform’s goal of providing efficient and intelligent mobile computing. He pointed to contextual awareness, power management, and cross-device collaboration as areas where users would benefit.
Josh Newman, General Manager of Consumer Segments and Vice President in Intel’s Client Computing Group, added that the integration supports Intel’s long-term roadmap. “The AI Smart Sensor Platform aligns with Intel’s vision for creating secure, efficient, and adaptive PCs that meet modern user needs across price points,” he said.
Elliptic Labs and Intel are also working with PC original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and operating system vendors on AI-driven initiatives, while contributing to the development of industry standards such as MIPI SDCA. These efforts aim to lower adoption barriers and ensure interoperability across the ecosystem, enabling next-generation AI features to reach the market more efficiently.
Elliptic Labs’ software has been deployed in more than 500 million devices worldwide, and the company is recognized for its multi-modal AI technology that combines ultrasound, sensor fusion, and machine learning. With Intel’s AI PC platform and ecosystem reach, the collaboration is expected to accelerate the availability of intelligent features in premium laptops, reinforcing the trend toward software-defined innovation in personal computing.
