Google - Project Tango - Point Cloud Extraction - Skeletal Tracking - google-project-tango

Has anyone had any luck extracting point cloud data into the Tango File system? Also looking for anyone who's had luck with skeletal tracking via point cloud data.
Any tips or suggestions are welcomed!

Regarding extracting the point cloud data to the file system, please take a look of this post: How do I export Point Cloud Data (Project Tango)?

Thanks Jason. Point Cloud extraction was a bit more tricky on the Java side of things, but it's working!
We're noticing some pretty slow performance when exporting the point cloud data in real time. Would love to hear tips on improving the performance of the I/O!
Still no word on existing skeletal tracking engines. Is there a java based NUI out there anywhere?

Alternative(s) to Capital One Hygieia

All - I have been looking at tools that would provide near real-time visibility and feedback into our entire Delivery Pipeline. The only one I found similar to what I have been looking for is by Captial One Hygieia (https://github.com/capitalone/Hygieia).
Do you guys know of any alternative Dashboards available at this point in the market?
Thanks a lot in advance
I had explored the following stacks:
Elastic search stack along with
canvas.
Cloudbees DevOptics
(License purchase is required).
But found Hygieia to meet all our requirements.

What is Service-Now and how is it related to ITSM?

I'm new to Service-Now, can anyone help me to find out what is ITSM and how Service-Now is related to it.
What is the best way to learn this tool so that it is easy to know and understand.
Service-Now started out as an Cloud ITSM Tool, now it contains much more and you can also create custom application on the Platform. But I would suggest you check out there Wiki and Community which is actually pretty good.
http://wiki.servicenow.com/index.php?title=Get_Started
https://community.servicenow.com/welcome
ITSM is broad topic, it's about Incident, Change, Problem Management and a proper CMDB. You will find enough on the web. Like on Wikipedia.

Business Intelligence Sample Data or Database

I don't know I should ask this question over here. I know it can be marked too broad or marked as close.
I have started learning BI and data analysis. I search on internet I found some good tools which I am interested QlikView & PowerBI.
I like some help from you guys like Sample data where I can play around and some scenarios. If I get some website or some tips to learn.
I will very much appreciate for some help.
Microsoft Power BI:
https://powerbi.microsoft.com/it-it/desktop/
Sign up (free) and Microsoft will give you sample data to use and see on Power BI.

Try the Lahman baseball database. A number of R scrips exist w/ output, so that you can compare your analysis from whatever tool you used.
Once you sign up at www.qlik.com there is a documentation and tutorial download in their download section for each of their products. The complete version of the tutorial includes a data set that will get you going
Qlik sense has a desktop version which is free to try and comes with sample data. Its easy to get started with! http://www.qlik.com/products/qlik-sense/desktop
Best of luck!
For both Qlikview and Qlik Sense you can download their free desktop app.
Afterwards you can install the Google Bigquery ODBC driver and access the Bigquery public dataset. In fact it is beneficial to simply learn BI using Google Bigquery.
Follow this tutorial to see how you can retrieve/manipulate the data.
You can find QlikView and Qlik Sense demos in this link:
http://eu-a.demo.qlik.com/
Both applications are fully free to use for personal use and I would suggest you start your Qlik journey with Qlik Sense. It is their latest product where you can create applications and even share them with your friends through Qlik Cloud.
Definitely worth a go.

Using Google Drive Document OCR from Parse Cloud Code

I would like to build an app using Ionic/Parse that allows me to take a picture with a mobile device camera, and do text processing of the image. From what I gather open source libraries are a little finicky, so for the purposes of prototyping I was hoping to use Google Drive's OCR capabilities.
The user would take a picture of a document, and my Cloud Code would send the picture to google drive, perform the ocr, and on ocr success, the picture would be sent back to my Parse db.
I am looking for some wisdom on this approach...Is this realistic or am I just totally off my rocker? Is there perhaps a service that integrates the two things? Am I just going to waste the same amount of time getting this to work as I would trying to integrate an open source OCR library? From an implementation prospective, would I run into authentication/data format/whathaveyou issues?
Hoping for some, been there tried that, these are some useful lessons..
Thanks!
Disclosure: I run this service.
Approach seems reasonable. http://ocrestful.com does exactly what you're describing, via an all-REST API. Permanently free tier available.

How is Wave developed with GWT?

Whatever happens to Google Wave, its UI, in my opinion, is 'beautiful'. In fact, it's listed as a real world project that utilizes GWT on GWT's web site. I would like to learn how Wave was built using GWT, but there does not seem to be many documentation on that topic.
Could anyone please point me to the right direction with regards to documentation or show how that the Wave UI can be built using GWT.
Update: The question is how build the UI and not Wave itself.
You can browse through the reference source code and see how that's using GWT.
For starters I would check out this site that is built around the protocol that allows that sort of communication. At that point, it's just a matter of implementing a pretty UI in GWT (that's a bit of a simplification, but the gist is the same -- the protocol is really the meat and potatoes of Wave).
