 So we hear the ID TechEx show and who are you? I'm Gary Brown. I'm the vice president of marketing at Movidius And you just won the award right here best IoT technology development here the ID TechEx show Yes, it's an honor. Thank you, but you have pretty awesome technology, right? I think so of course So it's been around is it from Ireland or where's the company was founded in Dublin, Ireland and so Over 11 years ago 11 years ago, but things have been spinning up in the last few years, right? Yes Yes, with the advent of our of our latest microprocessor, which is called a vision processing unit or VPU called the myriad 2 We found that there's just an explosion in interest in various kinds of Iodc devices IoT devices So vision VPU did you envision processing unit? There's a lot of people talking about Vision computing now and stuff. This is a big yes Well, we believe that in order to get the best power efficiency in order to get the most intelligence You have to put it at the network edge right near where image sensors are for example in surveillance cameras in order to get Intelligence analytics kind of algorithms to run you want to have it You don't have the latency or you don't have the power You want to save on power and latency to have that much intelligence at the network edge as well as in drones as well As in VR headsets. There's a lot of sensing going on in this these kinds of devices So they need a lot of intelligence at very low power and very miniature electronics But has this goal been the goal since the 11 years has always been this goal? The company pivoted a couple of times But primarily it's been video post processing and video processing and when the company started focusing after several years on Vision processing and vision sensing intelligent vision sensing. That's when we really struck a chord and resonated with the industry but is that because Technology is getting and the the nanometers and all that stuff when you make CPUs is getting powerful enough to make this vision possible Well, that's a good question Is it because the technology the process technology and the electronics technology is getting better? That's part of the answer it can get lower and lower power But it's also due to innovative new architectures that you can implement at a micro at a very very small scale So it's our innovative way of we're developing the architecture for very very high performance in a programmable processor for vision and Also getting the smaller scale of improvements in technology down from 28 nanometer to 16 nanometer and beyond So how does it compare with a GPU or an arm processor? Existing processors tend to be very wide in their scope of the applications you've talked about CPUs and GPUs Which have to do either display processing or very generalized processing We've decided to focus specifically on imaging and vision and we can do that in very very low power But we don't run Android. We don't run general apps on our process. So you focus just on one thing. Yes But that thing sounds pretty complicated still. It's like you're analyzing that's true video. That's true analyzing And making sense out of it But with very programmable proprietary DSP cores that we have on our chip and a very proprietary architecture which includes very efficient data movement around from memory to those cores and a bunch of other Accelerators were able to do what needs to be done in today's IoT devices very efficiently at low power at very low cost And can the Movidius just be one part of the SoC? Or is it a separate chip on the PCB? Is it not is it some kind of an IP block or is it a chip? It's a chip We're in the chip business. You're making a chip that goes in a PCB And then there could be another microcomputer It goes into the drone to for example powering an autonomous drone being able to detect or track people or be able to Detect barriers and move around them. So that's what we're doing is was announced with the DJI and I've been watching these videos about the Phantom 4 and it's so fascinating and awesome. Yes, our first major drone announcement was the Phantom 4 and DJI is a pretty big Success story from China. There are great customer bars. We really like what they're doing And so how do you sit down and do this kind of product? It's like a huge work from their side or from yours you make it and then they just like sit back You just made it for us. No, we support our customers on integrating the algorithms That they need it does in the Phantom 4 our chip is doing everything from depth sensing to analysis and tracking objects tracking people so We make it happen. That's amazing. It's like following you can follow you can avoid obstacles Do you do stuff? You're landing in the right place you don't land on the tree or something I don't know, but I guess like you could have all kinds of magic in terms of the autonomous flight But it's the flight controller that we support in the product. We're very excited about it and you're gonna hear more From what DJI and other companies are doing very soon That's just gonna be I mean this is mind-blowing kind of feel that you're right. Yes, it's like It's gonna be pretty fun. How do the engineers make this happen? the reason why it's so mind-blowing is more and more of the technology is going to deep learning and neural networks and so put put in deep learning so you can classify objects you can have a little bit more Intelligence into what exactly the drone is flying around or what exactly you're looking at through the VR headset And then it'll blow your mind even more to see how you can do intelligent object tracking or think about intelligent vacuum cleaners What they'll do with objects that they have to maneuver around in cleaning your room So deep learning I think is going to make its way into a lot of the devices that we see in consumer electronics, but there's also like For example security cameras if you upload for 24 hours of 4k video is gonna fill up a hard drive You need to be smart about what you record, right? That's right That's why they need very smart analytics to be able to record only what's necessary Based on where people are going or what people are there or recognizing people and so we see a lot of activity, especially in East Asia in terms of Surveillance technology becoming more intelligent. So it's very exciting. I'm hoping project Tango is the future of a smartphone, you know, and There's exciting things happening in smartphones, but also in many many other devices outside of the smartphone We're not announced as part of the project Tango. Yes, we were announced as part of project Tango So how do you enable that? Well project Tango is a reference design from Google Google as you know is a very very special partner of ours because What they do in the industry has a ripple effect and causes other manufacturers to want to take on the kind of ideas that they're putting out into the world So one of them is more intelligent vision in mobile phones So we'll see more and more of that in mobile devices as well as other kinds of IOT devices It's kind of like indoor positioning suddenly exactly positioning positional tracking That's something you have to do well not only in mobile phones and VR and AR headsets and other kinds of devices coming our way and sorting I think I've run out of things to say Sorting through all the data that goes to the cap through the camera You have to sort through and decide what you send over to camera data comes in you do some analysis and decide what you're looking at or how it needs to be tracked or You know depth sensing 3d sensing all kinds of different algorithms can run on a programmable chip like ours It was announced that we were now being acquired by Intel and so from now will be a part of the Intel family And they have a lot of resources to help you make even crazier visions happen, right? The sky's the limit Exciting. Thank you very much
