Seeing Machines, a leading computer vision technology company, has announced a new partnership with Airy3D Inc. to provide the automotive industry with innovative 3D camera technology for in-cabin monitoring systems. The collaboration has resulted in a new camera that delivers 3D range data, as well as 5MP RGB color and infrared 2D images, making it fully compatible with existing in-cabin software.
The technology, developed by Airy3D, utilizes a diffractive optical element to offer a low-cost and efficient solution for automakers looking to incorporate 3D sensing into their vehicles. This advancement is in anticipation of future safety regulations that will likely require 3D vision for in-cabin monitoring systems. Both companies are excited about the potential for more intelligent and safer vehicles with the integration of this cutting-edge technology.
Timothy Edwards, Co-Founder of Seeing Machines, emphasized the importance of cost-effective 3D sensing technology for future vehicle safety standards. Chris Barrett, CEO of Airy3D, praised Seeing Machines for their understanding of the requirements at the optical, computing, and software levels, making them an ideal partner for this project.
Paul McGlone, CEO of Seeing Machines, highlighted the progress made by Airy3D in adapting their technology for in-cabin systems and expressed excitement about offering this technology exclusively to their automotive partners. The goal is to bridge the gap between vision-based cabin monitoring systems and passive safety technologies like airbags and seatbelt restraints.
This partnership between Seeing Machines and Airy3D represents a significant step towards enhancing safety and intelligence in future automotive technologies. For more information, visit the Seeing Machines website and the Airy3D website.
