It is an exciting time to be in the field of computing. What we have
seen in last few years to half a decade is nothing short of a
transformation in history. Edge computing is possible today like never
before with advances in ML, speech/image recognition and powerful and
small devices!
**Small & smart devices: **Raspberry Pi started as an educational
project but succeeded far beyond its original target market
(Reference 1
&
2).
Similar single-board devices have been equally successful. Development
of libraries in languages like Nodejs, python for these devices further
reduced the barrier to entry for developers and enthusiasts. I
personally see it as the second coming of hardware revolution, coupled
with other development which only help the cause.
Intelligent interfaces: When Steve Jobs launched the iPhone in 2007,
he started a new era of interfacing with mobile and as he said it: “We
are all born with the ultimate pointing device—our fingers—and iPhone
uses them to create the most revolutionary user interface since the
mouse.” The same can be said about our voice, gestures etc. The
revolution has only continued and what we saw
in Starwars, has
finally come to a reality.
Machine learning: Let me be honest, it might sound like I am selling
snake oil, but I used the overloaded title term to generally mention
advances in NLP, voice & image recognition. Advances in these areas
coupled with “cloud” scale applications have enabled a number of use
cases and applications not imagined before.
Meet us & see it live!
We assembled these technologies and built a solution to demonstrate the
use of technology. You can take a look at teaser video below and go
through architecture diagram below. We will also be making the source
code open with details soon, keep watching the space.
Ai Dev Days Bangalore – 9th March 2018
We will be presenting a game at AI Dev Days to be held in Bangalore
on 9 & 10th March based on above concept. You
can watch the teaser video here:
Gophercon Pune – 10th March 2018
Gophercon is a Go language focused conference taking place at Pune on 9
& 10th March. Sanket Sudake from InfraCloud will be presenting a session
on the same solution and talk about using Golang for the same. As a
bonus Vishal Biyani be presenting how to effectively use Go-client for
Developing Kubernetes native applications.
Architecture
Here is an architecture diagram representing how the whole thing works:
