Hi.
I'm Melissa Evers-Hood from Intel.
And in this video, I'm going to tell
you a little bit about Celadon and how Android developers can
use it to develop some of the latest edge
to cloud and AI applications.
So what is Celadon?
Celadon is an open source software project
that enables developers like you to build
Android stacks for Android applications and Google
services.
For Android developers who want to build products
for innovative use cases like digital signage,
smart terminal, or automotive IVI,
Celadon is an optimized and validated software reference
stack that has the flexibility for such customizations, tuned
for Intel architecture, and is all open source.
Did I also mentioned that the latest release fully
passes Google's test suites?
Yep, that's a big deal.
Every year at Intel's Google I/O Day Zero Event,
we aim to inspire and help developers
get started with new projects by showcasing the latest
innovations and developer resources.
In 2019, we highlighted new usages from cloud
to edge to device, AI, cloud gaming, and more.
For example, we showed a cloud gaming platform
running Android in a container, which
shows how a developer can accelerate mobile game
performance in the cloud.
Android and Linux containers maximize your Android instances
on a single server and deliver an optimized solution
for cloud service providers.
On the device front, we showcased several Chrome OS
and Chrome browser demos including new use cases
such as Linux running on Chrome OS, the breadth of Android
applications available, and impressive performance metrics.
Let's take a deeper look at how Celadon
is helping our automotive partners go to market
and be successful.
In vehicle infotainment systems can
help drivers manage navigation, phone calls, climate control,
windows, doors, and other parts of the driving experience.
Developers can use an Intel NUC to accelerate their development
and simplify the prototyping for next generation IVI solutions.
Artificial intelligence inside the vehicle
can also assist in monitoring driver behavior,
helping prevent distracted driving.
We applied Celadon, RealSense, OpenVINO, and Myriad
X to detect driver distraction and report it up to the cloud.
Intel invests in Android not only
across the automotive industry, but also
across edge markets, such as smart terminal
facial authentication and retail digital signage.
Let's look at smart terminal first.
From airports to concerts, the need
for enhanced security and facial authentication
gives rise to new IoT applications
for smart terminals.
By using both wireless connectivity and AI
for facial authentication, smart terminals
provide a means for surveillance and security
at homes, libraries, daycare facilities, hospitals,
airports, and smart cities.
There are benefits to smart terminal IoT solutions
because vision-based edge computing can be accelerated,
thereby improving real time security and authentication.
In the smart terminal demo at Intel's Google I/O Day Zero
Event, we showed a fast prototyping Android solution
with AI to provide facial authentication
on Celadon, which could be used to open a door.
Another hot retail use case is digital displays.
As end users increasingly seek visually immersive experiences,
the demand for more vivid, high resolution displays
generates the need for businesses and consumers
to utilize digital signage.
These solutions can be regularly updated remotely,
increasing uptime and availability.
At the 2019 Day Zero Event, Now Micro
showcased a digital signage with an Intel Nook and Celadon
to optimize performance.
While we showed a few examples from automotive,
smart terminal, and digital signage,
the possibilities for innovation on Celadon
are endless and as broad as the market.
Celadon enables you, as the developer,
to take advantage of the best of Google services, the Android
app ecosystem, and open source to build
Android products optimized for Intel architecture.
We've enabled many of the coolest hardware accelerators
in Intel's portfolio via Project Celadon.
Thanks for watching, check it out in the links,
and start innovating.
