OmniVision and Inuitive Collaboration Brings 3D Cameras to Wide Range of Next-Gen Applications
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --OmniVision Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: OVTI), a leading developer of advanced digital imaging solutions, today announced from the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, that it is collaborating with Inuitive Ltd. to develop a reference design for building compact modules that enable 3D imaging in consumer electronics. OmniVision's family of computer vision-optimized sensors and Inuitive's NU3000 ASIC, the most advanced 3D imaging and computer vision processor in the industry, are capable of bringing a host of advanced features for a wide range of consumer devices, including smartphones, tablets, notebooks, smart TVs, and wearable devices.

"We are proud to partner with OmniVision to develop a new line of 3D cameras that enable advanced features such as augmented reality, 3D scanning, post processing photography, natural user interface and more," said Shlomo Gadot, co-founder & CEO at Inuitive. "In our view, the levels of performance and flexibility that these solutions offer make them among the most competitive on the market for OEMs looking to integrate 3D capabilities with their products."
"Inuitive shares a passion with OmniVision in developing imaging technologies that can redefine the use of personal terminals. OmniVision offers a wide range of image sensors suitable for machine vision applications," said Tehzeeb Gunja, senior partnership and business development manager at OmniVision. "Our collaboration with Inuitive has resulted in a competitive line of 3D camera solutions that meet the OEMs' physical constraints and optical and sensitivity requirements for multiple target applications. Going forward, our collaborative efforts may include future machine-vision technologies such as RGB-IR image sensors."
The new line of 3D cameras will utilize OmniVision's OV7251 global shutter image sensor or the quad high definition OV4688 image sensor. The OV7251 is a compact, low-power sensor built on a high performance OmniPixel3-GS(TM) pixel that, when coupled with the NU3000 ASIC, will enable advanced functionality such as accurate depth sensing, 3D objects reconstruction, gesture detection, and head tracking, among other features. The OV4688 leverages a 2-micron OmniBSI-2(TM) pixel to deliver best-in-class low-light performance. The sensor is capable of recording 4-megapixel images and video at up to 90 frames per second (FPS), and supports optimized high dynamic range of up to 100dB.
For a live demonstration of Inuitive 3D camera solution, visit Inuitive at suite #660 of the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino at the 2015 International CES in Las Vegas from January 6-9. To schedule a meeting: sharonb@inuitive-tech.com
