Kickstarting Computer Vision with the OpenMV

The original OpenMV was an entry for the first Hackaday Prize, and since then the project has had a lot of success. There are tons of followers, plenty of users, and the project even had a successful Kickstarter. That last bit of info is fairly contentious - while the Kickstarter did meet the minimum funding level, there were a lot of problems bringing this very cool product to market. Problems with suppliers and community management were the biggest problems, but the team behind OpenMV eventually pulled it off.
At the 2016 Hackaday SuperConference, Kwabena Agyeman, one of the project leads for the OpenMV, told the story about bringing the OpenMV to market

Nice job. Very good info. Been there on projects for company I worked at years ago. A number one innovator that understood these very issues. Consequently, most projects were successful and lead to great advances in television technology.

All of these recent videos have the intro far too loud compared to the important stuff. (Someone could make a great service to skip RUclips intros.)

Unfortunately, not everyone is going to know this was originally 0:30 and thoughtfully updated to the more precise 0:31. You sir, are doing everyone a huge service :)
