Intel announces an inside-out tracking camera for robotics and AR/VR hardware
Published on : Monday 30-11--0001
Intel is showing off a new RealSense camera with a specific focus on enabling hardware-makers to help their products understand where they are in the world.
The RealSense Tracking Camera T265 is designed to easily present robotics and AR/VR hardware with inside-out tracking tech.
The Tracking camera utilizes SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping) tech to orient the device while producing a detailed spatial layout of whatever environment in which it is traversing.
The camera is unsurprisingly powered by the Movidius Myriad 2 computer vision chipset, which handles the data processing for the camera.
Inside-out tracking has been getting less and less compute-intensive; this seems to be the area where Intel is making the most strides with the T265.
