Intel has moved to buy machine vision technology developer Movidius.

By Richard Wilson - Electronics Weekly, Sept. 06, 2016 – 

The attraction to Intel is Movidius capability to add low power vision process to IoT-enabled device and autonomous machines.

Movidius has European design centres in Dublin and Romania.

Josh Walden, general manager of Intel's New Technology Group, writes:

"The ability to track, navigate, map and recognize both scenes and objects using Movidius' low-power and high-performance SoCs opens opportunities in areas where heat, battery life and form factors are key. Specifically, we will look to deploy the technology across our efforts in augmented, virtual and merged reality (AR/VR/MR), drones, robotics, digital security cameras and beyond."
