Magik Eye Announces Invertible Light 3D Sensing

BusinessWire: Magik Eye reveals Invertible Light, a new method for depth sensing that is said to enable the smallest, fastest and most power-efficient 3D sensing. “While Structured Light, Time of Flight and Stereo Scoping Imaging are the primary methods today, Invertible Light aims to transform 3D sensing in the coming age of robotics and machine vision for the masses,” said Takeo Miyazawa, Founder & CEO of Magik Eye.

Current methods such as Structured Light have been around for more than 25 years and are based on legacy design. They fundamentally require the projection of a specific or random pattern to measure the distance to an object in 3D. The result is significant power usage, multiple components and complexity for production. All of this ultimately translates into higher cost for the consumer. Invertible Light by contrast projects a regular dot pattern on an object using only a projector and an image sensor. The result of this breakthrough in optics and mathematics is the smallest, fastest & most power-efficient 3D sensing.
