I see Teksun as competition for Megachips. Looking at their website they appear to do the same thing. VVDN as well only being in India will target that zone and also have a large manufacturing capability.
@Tothemoon24Has anyone dived into the company Oculi ?
Oculi Forms strategic partnership with GlobalFoundries to advance edge sensing technology
BALTIMORE, MD, UNITED STATES -- February 15, 2023 -- Oculi today announced a strategic partnership with GlobalFoundries Inc. (GF) (Nasdaq: GFS), a global leader in feature-rich semiconductor manufacturing, to manufacture OCULI SPU S12, the world's first single-chip intelligent Software-Defined Vision Sensor. This new chip will be used in smart devices and homes, industrial, IoT, automotive markets and wearables including AR/VR.
The OCULI SPU S12 is the first of 3 product lines that will disrupt and set a new standard in vision technology. It is based on GF’s 55LPx which is a feature-rich platform that supports Radio Frequency (RF), ultra-low power (ULP), embedded non-volatile memory (eNVM) and high voltage BCDLite® options. This makes the platform an ideal solution for System on Chip (SoC) integration to enable more functionality, less energy consumption and smaller form factor electronic applications.
Dr. Charbel Rizk, Oculi founder and CEO commented "Oculi has solved decades-long fundamental challenges by developing a new form of vision sensor that applies selectivity to process only the most relevant information 30X faster, 1/10th the power drain, and protects privacy/data security at the sensor. Oculi technology, which features pre-processing inside the pixel that emulates the human eye, will ultimately power many smart devices. Oculi’s new vision is ideal for edge applications such as always-on gesture/face/people tracking and low-latency eye tracking, while alternative solutions are too slow, big, and power inefficient. GF is an excellent partner to enable us to quickly get our product to our customers."
In collaborating with Oculi, Mike Hogan, chief business officer at GF, recognized the synergy for both companies in this engagement. As Mike stated, "Visual AI at the edge is the growth vector to enhance the connection between the digital and physical world. Oculi's architecture and GF’s production-proven 55LPx feature-rich platform enables device makers to get to market faster while also by optimizing data usage and reducing energy consumption.”

Thank you @Fullmoonfever much appreciated@Tothemoon24
Some prev posts when I went digging a little on them as from memory someone picked up maybe Rob mentioned them in a video or something. Was very brief mention.
Posts not in date order but bits on Oculi fwiw.

Hi Salde, On your hypothesis, you still need a processor, because Akida1500 doesn't have one. Is there any connection through Xylinx SOC? We did some early work with them didn't we?

The Automotive Market Pivots Hard to Generative AI and the Metaverse

NVIDIA held its GTC conference in March, and much of the content had to do with how the automotive market is rethinking the 300+ new factories it will be building to create the next generation of electric, self-driving cars, trucks and flying vehicles. Generative AI and the metaverse will potentially provide a customization capability that hasn’t been seen since the beginning of the automotive industry when cars were more custom-built than line-built. I expect this advancement to improve customer retention, customer satisfaction, reliability, and performance and to substantially reduce market failures. Other industries will embrace these technologies, as well, for similar reasons.
Let’s talk about how generative AI and the metaverse is already resulting in a massive change in future car and truck factories and how the related companies will engage more deeply with and become much closer to their users.
The Metaverse from Cradle to Grave
Typically, cars are conceived as ideas. These ideas are then winnowed down into a couple of concepts. The concepts are made into clay models and circulated for comment. Prototypes are built and taken to car shows and tested on private then public roads. Focus groups are brought in to see if there is a market for the car. This process can take over five years, generally doesn’t anticipate what the competitive market will be when the car is released, and often lacks enough customer voice throughout the process. The result is that cars sell poorly once they come out. In addition, during line setup, problems are often discovered late in the process which delays manufacturing and incurs otherwise avoidable costs to redesign and reconfigure the lines.
The metaverse (mostly NVIDIA Omniverse which is dominant in automotive) is increasingly being used by a wide variety of car makers to not only design and receive feedback on the new car, but to virtually design factories and their manufacturing floors to assure that major parts of the new or existing factory won’t need to be redone and potentially reduce time-to-market significantly.
In addition, the metaverse is being used to design and get feedback on the car, which eliminates the problems associated with configuring the lines because those problems can now be identified in the metaverse. This allows for less costly corrections should they be necessary.
A digital twin of the car is created that allows the buyer to not only build the car they want but allows them to follow the car through the build process and address any questions about the choices they made. This digital twin will remain tied to the car. It will help the user fix some things and enable the user to not only better discover potential problems but help them fix them if they are remote from a dealer. The car company can follow the life of the vehicle in order to understand and address points of failure that might otherwise arise later and damage its relationship with the user.
Generative AI at the Heart of the Customer Relationship
These next generation cars are slated to have generative AI interfaces that enable the driver to converse with their vehicle in natural language as opposed to packaged and irritating fixed commands. This conversational interface has already spread through Microsoft’s developer tools and most recently through Windows, Office, and the Edge browser. Even though Google was caught sleeping, this interface should quickly spread across its platforms, as well. This means we’ll be surrounded increasingly by things that we can use natural language to interface with.

The implication is that, over time, car owners will interface with their car and car company through generative AI and develop more of a collegial relationship with their vehicles and car companies. These AIs will not only help users learn about their new vehicles and how to operate them, but help them select the right vehicle and configuration before they buy the car. In addition, I expect this will evolve to a point where we will first interface with our generative automotive AI during the purchase process and be able to apply the most successful upselling capabilities while balancing the need to maintain a trusted relationship between the buyer and the related car company.
Instead of interacting only when the buyer has a very serious problem or during the buying process, future buyers will stay engaged through the generative AI with their car company. I also expect this generative AI experience won’t just be in the car but will extend into the home and business as users demand a more consistent AI experience across an ever-widening field of products much like we saw with tools like Apple’s Siri and especially Amazon Alexa. But car companies are already pulling the plug on these third-party tools in favor of their own to embrace their customers and tie them more tightly to the company by addressing the customer retention problem.
Wrapping up:
Automotive companies appear to be racing ahead of everyone else to apply metaverse and generative AI to their products and factories. But the benefits of this move, which include speed to market, fewer mistakes, better reliability, better performance and higher customer satisfaction and customer loyalty, will spread to other industries. Generative AI efforts will consolidate to approach the goal that users will likely prefer of having only one generative AI interface into all their smart products. This suggests future market expansions for automotive companies that will want to partner with or buy into related markets that will benefit from the automotive companies’ leadership as they leverage the user’s need for a consistent AI experience.
In short, while the metaverse and generative AI will hit the automotive market hard at first, once the benefits are validated, they will rapidly spread to other markets and change every aspect of how we design, build, monetize and service products and how these companies create and maintain a deeper relationship with customers.

Our resident super sleuth and celebrity brainiac is taking a wee hiatus. Hopefully he doesn't take too loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong to return!
Post 55256 from Tech alludes to a certain someone who I suspect we all thought was PVMD but was probably Anil.

I think it might be this one.Good morning all,
Is it just my imagination or is the volume starting to dry up.
And for the individuals whom keep on insisting that I said that our Founder wasn't attending this years AGM, imagining or
assuming something that I have posted just makes an ass out of u.
No posts have been edited or deleted, I am certainly not that arrogant to suggest or say something on this forum unless it
was truly factual (opinions aside) I value the relationship that I have, so please stop it.
Keep up with the great news feeds, I certainly appreciate it when I have the time to read it allTech x
Nice post, what most can't see in that photo is the forest for the trees ! meaning what exactly Tech ?
Look carefully, there's a hidden message in the photo, I can clearly see a baby "AKIDA" in his hands.
Thanks FJ-215.
That’s an awesome one, I don’t recall seeing it before myself so thanks for posting it anyway FMF
