For those of you who haven't already heard, Microsoft unveiled its next-generation Xbox One game console in late May, containing a bundled next-generation "Kinect 2.0" peripheral. Whereas the first-generation Kinect employs a structured light approach to 3-D sensing, "Kinect 2.0" leverages a time-of-flight technique courtesy of Microsoft's 2010 acquisition of Canesta. The included image sensor

Ever since the first news of Leap Motion's coming-soon gesture interface peripheral became public, I've been particularly curious to find out the answers to two architecture questions: How much processing is done locally on the device, versus in the USB-tethered computer, and What 3-D sensing scheme is the device based on: a stereo sensor array,
Embedded Vision Alliance founder Jeff Bier sure has been racking up the frequent traveler points of late. Just a few days ago, for example, he presented at two workshops associated with the IEEE CVPR (Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition) Conference in Portland, Oregon. And in early August, he'll be headed to the Austin, Texas Convention

I've written on multiple occasions about the myriad opportunities for leveraging mobile electronics systems such as cameraphones and tablets as powerful, low cost, abundant embedded vision platforms. Specifically, in several cases, I've discussed harnessing such devices to implement various ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) capabilities, as an alternative to dedicated-function hardware…a product called iOnRoad, for

A bit more than a year ago, I published a news writeup that covered an alternative (i.e. non-vision-based) gesture interface derived from the partnership work of Microsoft Research and the University of Washington. I wrote: SoundWave [is] a proof-of-concept system that leverages a computer's microphone and speaker combo to implement rudimentary gesture control. Doppler shifts,
