Products

  • 3D ToF image sensors REAL3 (with Infineon), e.g. IRS2381CTogether with our partner Infineon, we jointly develop and build the CMOS 3D image sensor based on our unique pmd pixel matrix.
  • 3D camera modulesThe camera module combines our 3D image sensor with a lens, the VCSEL, and a processing unit in a housing so small that it fits into the notch of a smartphone.
  • VCSEL illumination modulesOur VCSEL (vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) emit the modulated light signal at high speeds of 100 MHz and beyond in a narrow spectrum of a few nanometers to light the scene.
  • ToF software and depth processing pipelineIncludes the software driver and 3D depth processing pipeline, complemented by a reference design, customization support and camera module maker enablement.
