LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Colleague,Project Tango Tablet

Johnny Lee, Technical Program Lead at Google, was one of the invited speakers at the Embedded Vision Alliance's May 30 Member Meeting. The video of his presentation, "Project Tango: Integrating 3D Vision Into Smartphones," is now published on the Embedded Vision Alliance website. Lee's talk followed up his company's earlier announced 3D smartphone and was just ahead of its more recent depth-sensing tablet announcement. Complete with multiple entertaining and interesting demos, Lee's presentation was also reprised at last week's Google I/O developer conference. I enthusiastically commend it to your attention.

Last time, I mentioned that videos of presentations from the May 29 Embedded Vision Summit West had begun appearing on the Alliance website. That trend has continued; newly published in the past two weeks are technical presentations on heterogeneous processing architectures (AMD), pipelined video processor usage (Analog Devices), and vision processor options and development tools (both from BDTI). You'll also find educational tutorials on object detection (CEVA), augmented reality (CogniVue), the OpenVX vision hardware acceleration API (Khronos), and Lucas-Kanade tracking (PercepTonic). Regardless of whether you attended these and the other Summit presentations first-hand, there's plenty to learn in each of them and a (re-)view is well worth your time.

Plenty of additional material from both the late-May Summit and Member Meeting is en route. Sign up for the Alliance's Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter social media channels, along with its RSS feed, to receive proactive notification each time a new piece of content appears. And of course, while you're on the Alliance website, make sure you check out all the other great new content published there in recent weeks, including market analysis reports and summaries, news writeups, and press releases. Thanks as always for your support of the Embedded Vision Alliance, and for your interest in and contributions to embedded vision technologies, products and applications. Whenever you come up with an idea as to how the Alliance can better service your needs, you know where to find me.
