+## Hardware Used in this Workshop
+Intel® offers scalable hardware solutions at different power, performance and price points. During these labs we will be using OPS Device.
+
+**OPS device**                                                 
+Intel® launched the Open Pluggable Specification (OPS) to standardize the system architecture between displays and media players. OPS allows for more cost-effective design, deployment, and management of digital signage and other display solutions that support advanced functionality and emerging use cases, including interactivity and anonymous audience analytics.
