## Description

The Intel® Movidius™ Neural Compute Stick (NCS) is a tiny fanless deep learning USB drive designed to learn AI programming. The NCS is powered by the low power high performance Movidius™ Visual Processing Unit (VPU). The VPU can be found in millions of smart security cameras, gesture controlled drones, industrial machine vision equipment, and more.

With the Intel® Movidius™ you will be able to have support from Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) profiling for prototyping and tuning workflows, utilize cloudless real-time on device inferences, run all data and power over a single USB type A port, and run multiple devices on the same platform to scale performance.

The Movidius™ can be used in smart home, robotics, surveillance, and security applications.
