'Blade Runner 2049'

The Blade Runner 2049 Experience begins like many others at Comic-Con: with a line. But the good thing is that they give you a handy bracelet that identifies you throughout the exhibit.

The pursuit

The VR trip takes you on a chase through a futuristic LA in pursuit of a replicant. Once you take your Oculus headset off, you're transported to that future. 

In the picture we see the car used in the chase.

Are you a replicant?

Roger was scanned because the police thought he might be a replicant. But we got proof that he's 100 percent human.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
