enable it to comprehend and interact with its environment in a truly 3-dimensional way. This machine vision suite provides compact design and high-quality depth sensing based on a dedicated vision processing ASIC. The platform is power optimized, and is equipped with quick USB connectivity. The product line includes a stand- alone vision processor with enhanced depth functionalities, multiple turnkey depth modules, cameras, optimized SDK, software, and tools. At the of Forefront of Cutting Edge Applications Imaging and vision engineers, with newly available out-of-the box kits, benefit from ready-to-use components with which to bring 3D technology into their applications. Development cycles can be minimized and a faster

high resolution 3D depth maps and color image data, without the need for a dedicated GPU or host processor. This integrated solution increases the performance of your system’s host processor significantly. The New Normal Perceptual Computing based on 3D depth-sensing technology will quickly find its way into a wide range of products, devices, entertainment, applications and hereto unknown solutions, with ready-to-use components and pre-programmed intelligent algorithms. End customers will benefit from a new level of natural real-life user experiences, and vision developers will be able to create these applications very quickly on a quick to deploy yet powerful solution. Out-of-the-box kits like the Intel ® RealSense™ suite of components will dramatically shorten development cycles and time to market, propelling Perceptual Computing to the vision standard of tomorrow.

time to market is possible. Intel ® ’s RealSense™ Depth Camera D400 series, for example, can be added easily into existing prototypes, via USB. High image-resolution, high frame-rates, and the integrated IR projector, allow innovative applications for both indoor and outdoor environments where typical 3D solutions would fail. The SDK enables very easy development for vision and new to vision developers alike. Depth data is generated in the embedded processor and can be passed to the host where resources can be dedicated to interpreting and processing the depth data. The Intel ® RealSense™ SDK is available in Windows OS, Linux, Mac OS, and others. It provides sample code, debugging tools, and evaluation programs to accelerate vision projects. Depth modules and vision processors provide turnkey solutions for rapid product development and integration. These solutions make Perceptual Computing as easy as possible for OEMs and product manufacturers working in VR/MR applications, industrial robotics, home robotics, drones and smart surveillance. With a variety of depth modules available system designers and vision experts have the ability to choose a device that best suits their application, power consumption, the need for an IR projector, field of view, and shutter type can all be selected. Intel ® vision processors can be integrated with customer-specific cameras. The Intel ® RealSense™ ASICs process raw image streams from multiple to compute
