Is Movidius NCS limited to imaging?

Hi all, I was very happy to learn about the new Movidius NCS. I am working on a hobby project that could very well benefit from it. However, from most communication about the NCS it seems it is limited to imaging applications. Is this correct?

 

Thanks,

Hi @3JL, There is nothing that limits the NCS and accompanying NC SDK to strictly imaging applications.

 

You will be able to accelerate your neural network on the NCS as long as it is a Caffe network (release 1.07.06 supports Caffe, other network models maybe supported in the future) that remains within the boundaries of supported features. The supported features for 1.07.06 are available in the release notes which you can look at here :https://ncsforum.movidius.com/discussion/94/movidius-nc-sdk-1-07-06

 

That said, the examples currently provided are focused on imaging as you've noticed.
