The Orion Family of Pattern Projectors by Metalenz stands at the forefront of 3D depth sensing technology. Designed to enhance applications ranging from smartphones to AR/VR devices, Orion projectors create complex dot and line patterns using a single, flat meta-optic. These projectors support multiple illumination patterns, benefiting from a wide field of view and high power per dot to suit indoor and outdoor environments.
Orion projectors feature Metalenz's unique meta-surface technology, which simplifies the assembly process by integrating all optical functions within one element. This drastically reduces component count and overall system height, enabling seamless incorporation into various platforms including mobile and robotics applications.
The projectors are optimized for precise and efficient photon conversion emanating from VCSEL arrays. Notably, the Orion 18K pattern projector employs a pseudorandom arrangement of emitters, maximizing the contrast and power efficacy under diverse lighting scenarios. Its durability across temperature fluctuations further reinforces its suitability for a range of advanced sensing tasks.
