21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)...

Google is increasingly focusing on neural networks and artificial intelligence to solve problems in search, image processing, and other areas of computing. It’s also doing what it can to foster interest in artificial intelligence among the developer and DIY communities with initiatives like “AIY Projects,” which stands for artificial intelligence yourself. Google has announced a new AIY hardware project to help you experiment with computer vision and object recognition.

This is the second release as part of AIY Projects. The first one was the AIY Voice Kit, which was based on a project from a Raspberry Pi enthusiast magazine called MagPi. The new AIY Vision Kit has a very similar vibe. It too is based on a Raspberry Pi (See on Amazon) and comes with a simple cardboard enclosure. It certainly doesn’t look fancy, but it can do some very fancy things. Although, the $45 kit doesn’t come with everything you need.

The AIY Vision Kit includes a cardboard enclosure, a button, a speaker, a pair of camera lenses, the AI board, and various bits of wire and connectors. You need to add a Raspberry Pi Zero, a Raspberry Pi camera, an SD card, and a power supply. The Raspberry Pi camera is the most expensive of those components at around $30. The Zero itself is only $5, but it doesn’t need a lot of power. All the cool computer vision features are controlled by the included VisionBonnet board.
