LUCID Vision Labs – a Canadian company known for pushing boundaries in machine vision technology – is powering ahead with the momentum built from its successful reveal of two prototypes at last year’s ...

This is because modern robotic vision, including visual place recognition, typically relies on power-hungry machine learning models, similar to the ones used in AI like ChatGPT. By comparison, our ...

A typical camera-based vision system in a robot uses a lens, or multiple lenses, to focus incoming light onto a sensor — typically a flat semiconductor device known as a CMOS sensor.

Camera expert Canon is working on a new dedicated spatial lens for its R7 camera that will be able to capture content that can be shared on the Vision Pro.

The optional ZEISS lens inserts designed for Apple's Vision Pro headset can be engraved at no additional cost. Custom wording of the customer's choice can be engraved into the black plastic sides ...

A front-end lens, or meta-imager (see below), created at Vanderbilt University can potentially replace traditional imaging optics in machine-vision applications, producing images at higher speed and ...

2Pi Optics has unveiled a new kind of fisheye camera based on what it calls metasurface optics. The company plans to show off the tech at CES 2024, the big tech trade show in Las Vegas next week.

In pursuit of making the Vision Pro lighter and more compact, the company had to make a huge trade-off with the lenses. There's simply not enough room for glasses inside the headset.

Apple is researching the use of liquid lenses that could be adjusted within a future Apple Vision Pro headset instead of requiring some users to buy and fit separately prescribed lenses.

I would guess that the Zeiss prescription lenses for the Vision Pro will be at least $300-600 a pair, unless Apple is eating part of the cost given the already high price of the headset itself.

The Apple Vision Pro is a new mixed reality headset that launches in February 2024 for $3,499. Here are all the details on the new virtual and augmented reality platform.
