Intel's move to put its RealSense 3D Cameras in laptops in
the second half of 2014 and tablets in early 2015, coupled with
Amazon's Fire Phone and Google's Project Tango, are all pointing to
early commercialization efforts for computer vision, which allows
devices to see depth.
On Tuesday, Intel's Future Showcase, a view of the tech world five
years from now, rolled through New York and computer vision via gesture
viewing, face tracking and integrated 3D depth cameras played a big
role. Rest assured that these RealSense cameras will ultimately make it
to Intel's open source Jimmy the Robot efforts (currently $1,600 for a
version that can be 3D printed and $16,000 for one that's more suited to
universities).
Brian David Johnson, Intel's futurist, said computer vision could
change the robotic equation dramatically and allow them to sense depth
and avoid pitfalls. "If 3D cameras can fit in a laptop it'll easily fit
on Jimmy," said Johnson.
Project Tango, an effort by Google, also launched a tablet reference kit for developers.
The aim is to create new experiences for consumers and businesses. In
the end, Google will want to scan rooms and settings just like it does
streets. Naturally, advertising and data nuggets will provide an
overlay.
