Mycroft – A.I. for everyone

Does anyone know what the hardware looks like? I haven't managed to find any info other than "it's a raspberry Pi with LEDs". I'm especially interested in whether it had a microphone array and how they process audio to remove noise.

I was a early backer on Kick starter... At this point I believe the Hardware to be vapor... They have pushed the delivery date for backers back soo many times I if I ever actually get one I will be shocked.

Many backers have made their own from the software using their Own rPI's

The key feature of an Echo is its wide microphone array. Those are somewhat expensive.

Are they expensive because they are complicated or because the market for them has been small? I'm curious how hard it would be to make one.

I don't know how expensive they are, but I did get a PS3 eye camera with a four-mic array for $4. I just don't have the software to do noise reduction for the streams.

Is there something available for Raspberry?
