Market research estimates there will be as many as 20 billion connected devices in the market by 2020. These devices are expected to generate billions of petabytes of data traffic between cloud and edge devices. In 2017 alone, there were as many as 8.4B connected devices, highlighting the need to preprocess data at the edge. This has led many IoT device manufacturers, especially those working on vision-based devices like smart cameras, drones, robots, and AR/VR, to bring intelligence to the edge.
Through the recent addition of the Movidius VPU technology to its existing AI edge solutions portfolio, Intel is well positioned to provide solutions to help developers and data scientists pioneer the low-power intelligent edge devices segment. Ashwin Vijayakumar gives you a hands-on overview of Intel’s Movidius Neural Compute Stick, a miniature deep learning hardware development platform that you can use to prototype, tune, and validate your AI programs (specifically deep neural networks).
Topics include:

There is no need to buy the stick, we will loan the hardware for the tutorial. This is a hands on workshop, so you will be able to experience play with the product
Thanks! Looking forward to it.
This will be a hands-on workshop/tutorial where the audience will be developing software and deploying it on the Intel Movidius Neural Compute stick. We ask that you bring your own Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick (NCS) and Ubuntu 16.04 system pre-installed with developer.movidius.com/start. If you do not have either of these, we will bring a few spare systems (laptop & NCS) which you can borrow for the duration of the workshop.
The materials and downloads have been updated above.
is this a tutorial, in which attendee can play Movidius together with speaker? or it is just showing how it work by speaker? If we can play with Movidius, do we need to buy and bring Movidius to tutorial? or it is provided?
