I have also played with specialized machine learning (ML) acceleration hardware for computer vision with projects like Google's AIY Vision Kit and Intel's Movidius on the client side. Edge ML is powerful, but it has performance limits compared to scalable server-side approaches where you can add more and bigger processors.

Experimenting with running computer vision locally in the browser using TensorFlow.js has been on my bucket list to play with as part of my regular AI in RTC research. The recent warnings to avoid touching your face got me thinking there should be some kind of webcam monitor that
