A new gadget called the OpenCV AI Kit, or OAK, looks to replicate the success of Raspberry Pi and other minimal computing solutions, but for the growing fields of computer vision and 3D perception.

While the Raspberry Pi has very good support for an I2C bus, a lot of very cool chips – including the in system programmer for just about every ATtiny and ATmega microcontroller – use an SPI bus.

I like this one. A Raspberry Pi and OpenCV-based way to snap a fridge thief in action! As long, of course, as they don't steal the Pi and Pi camera as well as the Hummus or the yoghurts... The system ...
