[Dprglist] Pre-Order now: Google AIY Vision - Intel Movidius based kit

[Carl Ott]

I've been waiting for an eval kit like this since CES in January, when Dave
Ackley and I saw a cool demo using the neural net based Movidius VPU -
albeit that one was packaged as a USB compute stick.  This version runs on
a bonnet for Raspberry Pi Zero W:

*The VisionBonnet circuit board has an Intel Movidius MA2450 low-power
vision processing unit, which can run neural network models right on the
device. You'll get software, too, which has three TensorFlow-based neural
network models: one to recognize a thousand common objects, another that
can recognize faces and expressions and a third that can detect people,
cats and dogs. *

Oh yeah.

I suppose, if we wanted to bring the award winning / beer finding
SmartCamBot back to life with one of these, we'd have to train it to
recognize bottles versus crayons, but that's a small price to pay for
real-time / local image processing at this level...

Who else is in?
