The Orion Pattern Projectors are a leading family of compact and high-performance devices designed to enhance 3D depth sensing capabilities. These projectors stand out by offering an ultra-wide illumination field and can generate intricate dot, line, or flood patterns, crucial for applications in smartphones, robotics, AR/VR environments, and the IoT.
At the heart of the Orion Projectors is the use of integrated meta-optics, which allows these projectors to efficiently convert light from VCSELs into high-contrast patterns. This technological advancement means the elimination of multiple traditional optical elements, which significantly reduces assembly complexity and cost while improving overall device performance. Such integration makes the Orion projectors notably suitable for structured light and time-of-flight applications.
The Orion series includes the advanced Starlight projector, which operates using pseudorandom dot patterns to provide high-resolution output in a compact form factor. This innovation delivers class-leading power per dot and stability across ambient conditions, making it a versatile choice for applications that demand precision and efficiency. Its ability to adapt to varied lighting conditions ensures optimal performance in both indoor and outdoor settings.
