Slideshow: Vision, medtech in focus at DESIGN East
Rick Merritt
We offer a few post cards from the DESIGN East conference that served up talks and demos on computer vision, personal health care along with the nuts and bolts of embedded systems.
BOSTON – For four days this town of Founding Fathers was treated to a smorgasbord of engineering and design spanning the latest ideas and demos in computer vision, personal health care along with the nuts and bolts of embedded systems technology.

DIY, robotics, automotive electronics, Star Trek sensors and the future of engineering rounded out the confab.
What follows is a few post cards from our trip to DESIGN East.
Futurist Mike Walsh threw out four “mind grenades” to get engineers thinking, including, “If you had to show your design to Steve Jobs tomorrow, what one thing would you change?”
Open sesame!
CogniVue demonstrated a gesture recognition system for opening a car trunk with a wave of your computer-recognized hand.
Oui, oui, c’est moi!
Texas Instruments proved it recognized my face by drawing an animated mustache on it.
DIY robot
Berkeley Design Technology Inc. cobbled together a demonstration robot from an iRobot dev kit, a Microsoft Kinect and a laptop.
Freescale checks attendees’ pulse
Attendees at Freescale’s talk on medical electronics had a chance to check their vital signs using a reference design the chip maker gave away.
NI eyes the factory
National Instruments promoted a computer vision system that could identify colored candles coming off an assembly line much faster than the human eye.
DIYs get their freak on
Engineers from Texas Instruments and Allied Electronics get pumped up for the DIY Gadget Freak show.
Qualcomm dials embedded
Intrinsyc CEO Tracy Rees shows the design kit and module for Qualcomm’s Snapdragon apps processor aimed at the embedded market.
JTAG, you're it
Renesas reduced a partner's JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) test dongle to a chip on its latest MCU reference design board.
Wayne's board
Microchip's Wayne Freeman came to DESIGN East with a new line of integrated 8-bit MCUs and a reference board. Ignore the crystal on the last-generation board design. The new chips have one built in.
High rollers
There were no craps tables at DESIGN East, but Analog Devices used dice to show its Black Fin had the computer vision chops to calculate its winnings.
Insights from Mr. Computer Vision
Gary Bradski, the man behind the OpenCV library for computer vision, discussed the outlook for the software which is now used in products like Google Maps.
Kontron's hand-sized PC
Kontron packed an Intel Core processor on a COM Express card. Kontron was one of a dozen board makers on display at the Intel booth.
Medical goes mobile
Freescale handed out hand-held devices that can track at least five health and fitness metrics.
House call for engineers
Dr. Jose Fernandez Villasenor, an physician and engineer at Freescale, addressed the most lethal diseases and what design engineers can do to help diagnose them.
Cars watching cars
CogniVue demoed its integrated computer vision module used to track cars for a popular automotive collision-detection app.
Board design online
Altium’s Chris Donato said it is gearing up for a major redesign of its pc-board software, focusing on enhancing online storage and data sharing capabilities.
Beam us up, McCoy
XPrize contenders Graham Ewing (left) and Anita Goel talked with XPrize Foundation director Mark Winter (right) about their work on the Qualcomm Tricorder XPrize.
