Orbbec - 3D cameras
ABOUT US
Orbbec was founded in 2013 by a group of passionate engineers and researchers who all shared a belief that 3D cameras would revolutionize computing. And today, we have more than 800 employees, and our team has created the best 3D cameras available.
As one of the global leading providers of 3D cameras with mass-production ability, we have thousands of customers and partners around the world. we are committed to excellence in everything we do—from creating our own silicon chip and patented structured light pattern, to designing a 3D camera with the best accuracy, range, resolution.
3D cameras already permeate our daily life and can be designed into a wide range of products to make our lives more enjoyable. we believe that in the future, it will be hard to remember a time when computers or mobile didn’t have 3D cameras. Whether you call it artificial intelligence or simply intelligent computing like we do, we believe this will be the new baseline for what people expect out of their computing devices.

GazeSense - 3D eye tracking software
GazeSense REMOTE EYE TRACKING SOFTWARE
https://eyeware.tech/gazesense/
Using Intel RealSense or Orbbec Astra Depth Cameras.
GazeSense™ is a 3D eye tracking software that provides real-time gaze coding without the need to wear glasses and tracking the eye-gaze in 3D. Using off the shelf depth-sensing cameras, it allows you to track multiple subjects, label objects of interest in the open space and track attention towards them in real-time.

LUCID Launches Helios2 – The Next Generation Time of Flight Camera. Improved 3D ToF Performance
https://thinklucid.com/helios-time-of-flight-tof-camera/
Helios2 integrates Sony’s DepthSense™ IMX556PLR back-illuminated ToF image sensor and uses four 850nm VCSEL laser diodes. The camera delivers 640 x 480 depth resolution at up to an 8.3m working distance and at a frame rate of 30fps. Additional features include 6 different operating distance modes, an integrated ambient light filter, a wider FOV, multi-camera support and a flying pixels filter. On-camera processing provides range, intensity and confidence data which reduces the need for expensive host systems.
Helios2 HLT003S is list priced at $1,495 USDBasler blaze - Time-of-Flight (ToF) Camera
https://www.baslerweb.com/en/products/cameras/3d-cameras/basler-blaze/
Universally usable time-of-flight camera with high precision for cost-efficient 3D imaging in real time
The Basler blaze industrial 3D camera operates on the pulsed Time-of-Flight principle. Its laser diodes (VCSEL) work in the NIR range (940 nm), generating 2D and 3D data in one shot with a multipart image, incorporating range, intensity and confidence maps.
The Basler blaze offers high resolution (VGA), precision via Sony’s innovative DepthSense™ sensor technology, plus powerful features at an attractive price, making the Basler blaze unique in the market.
