11:00am Featured Talk: "Seeing in the Cloud: An Introduction to Computer Vision as an API"
Speaker: Yufeng Guo (Developer Advocate, Google)
Abstract: Machine learning was formerly the exclusive territory of researchers and domain experts, but no longer! In this talk, you will learn about how computer vision, powered by machine learning is being democratized and is now available on any platform that can make a REST API call. From the smallest electronic devices to the largest web apps, computer vision has a wide range of possibilities: recognizing objects, reading text, understanding facial expressions and more. What will you build with this new superpower?
11:45am Break
12:00pm Featured Talk: "Stopping Time with the Power of the Cloud"
Speaker: Bret McGowen (Developer Advocate, Google)
Abstract: Bret McGowen walks through several features of Google Cloud Platform while showing off a demo (Google Cloud Spin (http://twitter.com/googlecloudspin)) built to display a frozen-in-time 180 degree video. The demo uses an orchestrated set of smartphones to capture multi-angle views of the same moment which are then uploaded to the cloud and are stitched together to create a "spinning" 180-degree video.
