Occipital & Inuitive Collaborate On Full-Stack Sensing & SLAM for Mixed Reality, Positional Tracking In AR/VR AND Robotics
Occipital, Inc. and Inuitive LTD today announced a joint offering that lets manufacturers of mixed reality, augmented reality and virtual reality headsets, as well as home and industrial robots, easily integrate efficient, low latency large-scale 3D sensing and SLAM into their next generation of products. The joint offering includes Occipital’s Structure Core embeddable depth sensor with Inuitive’s NU3000 depth processing chip.
Optimized for Next Gen AR/VR/MR Headsets
For the past year, Occipital and Inuitive have worked together to tightly integrate Structure Core and NU3000 to achieve levels of performance that both minimize host system loads while
delivering an exceptional user experience. As a result of this collaboration, the combined
Structure Core and NU3000 can offer:
- System power consumption for depth + visible: 1.3W to 2W (depending on configuration)
- Total CPU load equivalent to <25% of a recent dual-core ARM CPU during 6-DoF tracking
- Latency from camera frame to fully-tracked pose: 10 ms
- Depth sensing as close as 30cm or as distant as 5+ meters
- Depth map accuracy as high as ±0.17% at 1m (RMS using fit-to-plane)
Along with Structure Core, Occipital also offers Bridge Engine, an advanced mixed reality
software engine and development platform that is available on multiple platforms to let
manufacturers accelerate development of market-ready devices with advanced positionally-tracked VR and mixed reality capabilities.
Room-Scale Depth Sensing for Robotics
Along with headsets, the combination of Structure Core and NU3000 has also been designed for use in the new generation of robots for both home and industrial environments. In particular, Structure Core’s dual infrared cameras can be used for stereo depth sensing when ambient sunlight would otherwise blind robotic navigation systems that rely on time-of-flight or structured light depth sensors.
