Dear Colleague, In the previous newsletter, I told you about embedded vision-related developments coming out of the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona, Spain. Since then, two additional notable conferences have come and gone, both including plenty of embedded vision news of their own. CeBIT took place from March 6-10 in Hannover, Germany, while the

Austin, TX – March 13, 2011 – The release of the new iPad brought a number of incremental upgrades but also raised interesting questions, as Apple’s competitors aggressively incorporate a number of advanced user interface technologies at a faster pace. IMS Research believes Apple will need to embrace embedded vision-based technologies in its next product

Last October, shortly after Apple's unveiling of the latest-generation iPhone 4S cellular handset, I published an analysis of the system's capabilities (both absolute and relative to predecessors and competitors) as an embedded vision application platform. Five days ago, for those of you who haven't already heard, Apple launched the "new iPad" (colloquially the iPad

Those of you who have visited the Embedded Vision Alliance's member page in the past few days may already have noticed what I'm announcing here; that the Alliance has a new member! It's CogniMem Technologies, a company who I previously mentioned back in early January by virtue of their presence in Freescale Semiconductor's product suite

Thanks to the increasing prevalence of live blogs, video streams and the like, it's becoming increasingly feasible to cover a conference without even attending it, thanks to the remaining poor sods who still muster the enthusiasm to travel there. You'll note, for example, that I generated a lot of content in spite of not shuttling

Ok, I admit to being a bit facetious with the subject line of this particular writeup. But I still think this is very cool. Thanks to MAKE Magazine, I'm now aware of an iPhone (and presumably also camera-inclusive iPad and iPod touch?) application called Resistor Photo ID, which "uses your iPhone's camera to help identify

Nokia has published several interviews, both in "print" and in video form, since the company launched the model 808 PureView cameraphone (which I discussed in my prior news post earlier today) last week at Mobile World Congress (where it won Best in Show). While I'll reassure you that I'll be writing about plenty of other
