29. Hardware Innovation
Lytro Camera - http://www.lytro.com/camera/
Make the impossible possible. Change your perspective.
Lytro's newest light field capability, Perspective Shift, allows you to
interactively change your point of view in a picture, after you’ve
taken the picture. On a computer or mobile device, you can shift
the living picture in any direction; left, right, up, down and all
around.
Perspective Shift works on light field pictures you've previously taken
and with any new pictures you take. Change your perspective and
see the moment come alive.

34. How to start?
Come equipped with good programming skills and read
Wikis in link depths
Several Open Source Projects and Free SDKs to help you
viz. OpenCV, OpenNLP, OpenNI, OpenTLD, Tesseract
for OCR, OpenCL, CUDA for NVIDIA, etc.
Get started with tutorials and examples
Ask exact doubts after having tried solving the problem
(from what I've seen, people do not help you online if
they don't feel you've tried enough) in specific fora and
open fora like StackOverFlow
MatlabCentral for MATLAB specific questions

35. Conclusion
You are now a different person than you were a few hours ago! :)
You'll certainly be more wise and knowledgable after this
workshop, provided you apply what you learn here.
