Hardware Depth and Video Tracking Working

Hey guys,

So we got hardware depth and video tracking working.  It's not calibrated depth yet (so that's why it doesn't look so great - it's using a unity 3x3 homography matrix).  But it's working!  (Caveat on that, it's still buggy and crashes on startup 9/10 times, but the 1/10 is so satisfying!)

But to re-iterate, all the calculation shown in the video is being done on the Myriad X (depth calculation and feature tracking).  The host is doing nothing (other than just displaying the data that the Myriad X is streaming, which is optional).  

The nice part is the Myriad X doesn't even get warm doing this.  And that's with zero heatsink.  Just the chip exposed to ambient air.


And for more info as to our end goals, check out:
