Isn't the main hindrance the cost and speed of development: You can buy an off the shelf digital FPGA/CPU chip/board and get one of a thousand software engineers to start building a prototype tomorrow.
An analogue solution is a much costlier and time consuming solution.

- capableweb 4y agoThat tweet is just linking to the submission article, what am I missing?
- freemint 4y agoThat companies are aware of these issues and promising to address them.

Installing an analog board into a camera to identify shapes is cheaper to be done on camera vs sending all video for processing. Think manufacturing QA, retail foot traffic, or similar applications.
