The RealSense modules were almost 1/2 the price of the cameras. The D450 module was a great price at $125 each with 3 global shutter cameras. The L515 Lidar was really accurate. This reminds me of how one by one the consumer cameras lost their API's, and how GoPro never bothered to give an API to developers.
Velabit has been vaporware. Same with Microsoft kinect DK, they are now saying Oct 2022 for shipments. Oak AI uses Intel Movidius, and I just can't trust Intel after buying and basically killing Movidius, and now killing off Realsense. I have to look at the others.
- brutus1213 5y agoAre you sure Movidius was killed? I thought a bunch of dji drones use Intel's VPS (which I assumed was movidius).
- paulkrush 5y agoModvidius was not killed, it was throttled by Intel. They had a whole traditional computer vision side of the chip that they did not allow developers to get into, including stereo vision. Think OpenCV on a ASIC. Intel redefined "computer vision" to mean "Processes that can be run through a tensor engine and be integrated into OpenVino.
