While Kinect is an impressive embedded vision hardware achievement, both in an absolute sense and particularly when considering its price tag, the software that harnesses its potential has to date been (at least in this observer's mind) a bit underwhelming. Granted, titles such as Kinect Sports are a lot of fun. But they're…gimmicky. And they're […]

In one of yesterday's posts, I mentioned the array of cameras installed (with more planned) in Lower Manhattan. If Mayor Michael Bloomberg has his way, New York City will have even more cameras than these, specifically to identify and prosecute drivers who run red lights and exceed the speed limit on streets. While embedded vision

Apps such as Shazam and SoundHound are, I think, pretty intriguing. Point your handset's microphone at a speaker, fire up the software utility, and it'll do its best to identify the song that's currently playing.

Apple's newest handset, the iPhone 4S introduced earlier today, isn't the "iPhone 5" dramatic advancement that some were forecasting. There's no teardrop-shaped thinner form factor redesign, for example, or larger screen, or LTE 4G cellular data support (or WiMAX embrace, for that matter). The handset's improvements from the iPhone 4 predecessor are quite predictable, truth

Yesterday I mentioned that the HTC MyTouch Slide 4G's camera facilities included (among many other things) high dynamic range image capture capabilities. If you own an iPhone 4, you've got built-in HDR, too. But if you own an earlier-generation iOS cellular handset, or a latest-generation iPod touch or iOS-based tablet, you've historically been out of

Back in early August on this site, as well as a few weeks later in BDTI's monthly email newsletter, I mentioned that Microsoft had recently made two notable embedded vision announcements: Releasing the Kinect SDK for Windows Beta in mid-June, followed by Unveiling the Kinect Services suite for Robotics Developer Studio 2008 R3 in mid-July
