Additional AI-acceleration hardware (Intel Movidus) is considered as a next step, as well as using a more powerful CM4-based version of the StereoPi (v2).</p><p>Here is the brief video of the project:</p><p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0G5iIF0pAlg" width="560" height="315" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p><p> </p></div>
