Movidius Ltd. was a company based in San Mateo, California, that designed low-power processor chips for computer vision.

The Intel Movidius Neural Compute Stick (NCS) is a compact device designed to facilitate the development of deep learning applications at the network edge.

[10] The second iteration, the Intel Neural Compute Stick 2 (NCS 2), was introduced on November 14, 2018, at the AI DevCon event in Beijing.

This version is based on the Myriad X VPU, which significantly improves performance over the original, providing up to eight times the processing capability for AI inference tasks.

The NCS 2 is designed to work seamlessly with the Intel Distribution of OpenVINO toolkit, which helps developers optimize and deploy their models efficiently.
