Problem
Many machine vision applications struggle with reflective surfaces, untextured walls, varying lighting conditions, and translucent objects, hindering robots and other systems from accurately perceiving their environment. Existing 3D sensors often lack the speed, power efficiency, and flexibility needed for widespread adoption in mobile and embedded devices.
Solution
Magik Eye provides 3D depth-sensing solutions based on its proprietary Invertible Light Technology (ILT). ILT uses a regular dot projector, a CMOS image sensor, and a direct algorithm to generate high-speed, low-latency 3D point cloud data. This approach enables smaller, faster, and more power-efficient 3D sensing compared to structured light or time-of-flight methods, while also improving visibility on challenging surfaces and in diverse lighting. Magik Eye offers a range of evaluation kits and developer tools to facilitate integration of its technology into various applications.
