MATRIX Creator Launches: Most IoT-Ready Dev Board for Raspberry Pi Earns the Maker Faire Editor's Choice AwardMIAMI, June 23, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The makers of MATRIX (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2061039712/matrix-the-internet-of-things-for-everyonetm/description) will be shipping MATRIX Creator (http://creator.matrix.one), a developer-focused version of their product, on July 15th, 2016. Born out of MATRIX Labs (http://matrixlabs.ai), MATRIX Creator pioneers the use of machine intelligence as a building block for hardware. The $99 sensor-packed development board and platform allow developers to build IoT apps quickly and inexpensively for drones, robots, smart homes, security, gaming, retail, and whatever idea they imagine. Designed for Raspberry Pi 3, MATRIX Creator replaces common hardware for custom applications, eliminates complicated wiring, and simplifies packaging. Moreover, it received the Editor's Choice award at National Maker Faire 2016 in Washington, DC and was highlighted as "one of the most promising pieces of hardware," by Make: Magazine (htp://makezine.com/2016/06/18/live-blog-national-maker-faire/). "There are 8 million Raspberry Pi's in the world, fueled by thousands of developers working towards a common goal, invention and hands-on learning. We believe that machine intelligence should be seamless in the global creation of IoT solutions," states Rodolfo Saccoman, CEO of MATRIX Labs. Sensors & Components (included)
Connectivity & Communications (included)
The Raspberry Pi daughter board, MATRIX Creator, provides the most embedded sensors on the market and enters the maker world as:
MATRIX OS allows developers to create apps within minutes using Javascript. It empowers developers with the ability to combine numerous hardware applications, M2M communications, and an ever-growing amount of integrations to make hardware creation easier. Furthermore, developers are able to leverage flexible MATRIX machine intelligence and computer vision libraries including face detection, face recognition, and gesture recognition, with more detection algorithms soon to come. "If you can use Javascript, you can start making Internet of Things applications on the MATRIX OS platform. Apps can run in homes or businesses and developers can monetize installs, or build incredible service-based businesses implementing apps for clients. Imagine bringing your smart home with you to any MATRIX OS enabled environment, from friend's houses to AirBnB's. This is a brand new app economy anchored in the physical world," says MATRIX Platform Architect, Sean Canton. "It is an entire community for inspired creators to build their ideas quickly and simply, from girls who code to veteran hardware engineers," says Dr. Noel Elman, formerly at MIT leading the Elman Research Group. "This means connecting online and learning together, and also brings us physically together in maker spaces and meetups."
