Artfully Embedded Android

Artfully Embedded Android

We took Android and embedded it into the first ever display for art. Electric Objects is building the next class of Android devices - persistent displays for all the beautiful digital artwork in your life.

We'll talk about the challenges of digital art, and what strides we're making in engineering GIF and graphics performance on an embedded device.

This is a talk I presented at Droidcon Montreal about the work we're doing at Electric Objects around gif performance.
