Google introduces $45 AIY Vision Kit for DIY computer vision hardware projects - Liliputing

Google is launching a new hardware and software kit aimed at developers and hackers who want to build products that incorporate computer vision… on a budget. It's called the AIY Vision Kit, and it's up for pre-order from Micro Center for $45, with an expected ship date of December 31st. You'll need to spend a few more bucks to actually use the kit though: it's designed to work with a Raspberry Pi Zero W mini computer ($10) and a Raspberry Pi Camera V2 ($30). And you'll need to supply your own SD card. The total cost is still under $100 though, which is pretty impressive for a set of tools that you can use to develop projects that use what Google calls an "intelligent camera."
