Shameless related plug : We recently developed a deep-learning powered 2-axis-gimbal for a webcam : https://github.com/GistNoesis/Linn-Photobooth https://github.com/GistNoesis/Linn-Photobooth . We do use deep-learning either for deep-art or for pose tracking. I guess we can probably control the gimbal with this new camera though I'm not sure It will be able to process deep art. In my other usages, usually I have multiple cheap webcams with cheap board (IP cams or other) streaming it (over wifi/ethernet) to the GPU processing station located somewhere. With powerful GPU boards at €650, it's probably a better strategy once you start having plenty of cams.

That sounds cool, but after reading the webpage I am still not sure what it actually does. It prints a picture, you can change art style, what's the point of the gimbal?

  The gimbal allows you to orient the camera (avoid people to touch the lens with greasy fingers), it can be substituted by a cheap 3d printed piece for manual adjustment if the functionality is not needed. It has some awe effect, and is fun with kids. It makes the camera more alive, specially in the tracking mode. The gimbal allows you to shoot videos where you are always at the center. We think this may grant some freedom of movement to some video makers and make their video more dynamic without the need of a buddy filming them. Also this project has a DIY component to it, so doing the gimbal is a great introduction to robotics.
