The Rise of VPUs: Giving eyes to machines.

The Rise of VPUs: Giving eyes to machines. "Movidius is a small chip startup that you've most probably not heard of, yet. It's a European company that currently produces specialised chips known as Vision Processing Units (VPUs). The chips are meant for application in areas like Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and others. Movidius' Myriad 2 chip is running on the recently-announced DJI Phantom 4 drone, and its Myriad 1 chip was used in Google's first Project Tango device. Dashwood explains that while Movidius is a decade-old company, it turned its attention to VPUs in 2009, with Google's first Project Tango phone being the first instance of its chips being implemented. The Myriad 1 and Myriad 2 are high-performance, low-power chips, meant specifically for Computer Vision."
