New image sensors from Samsung specifically for robotics and XR applications

Samsung Electronics has unveiled a new set of sensors as part of its family called ISOCELL Vizion sensors — a time-of-flight (ToF) sensor, the ISOCELL Vizion 63D and a global shutter sensor, the ISOCELL Vizion 931. First introduced in 2020, Samsung’s ISOCELL Vizion lineup includes ToF and global shutter sensors specifically designed to offer visual capabilities across an extensive range of next-generation mobile, commercial and industrial use cases. “Engineered with state-of-the-art sensor technologies, Samsung’s ISOCELL Vizion 63D and ISOCELL Vizion 931 will be essential in facilitating machine vision for future high-tech applications like robotics and extended reality (XR),” said Haechang Lee, Executive Vice President of the Next Generation Sensor Development Team at Samsung Electronics. “Leveraging our rich history in technological innovation, we are committed to driving the rapidly expanding image sensor market forward.” ISOCELL Vizion 63D: Tailored for Capturing High-Resolution 3D Images With Exceptional Detail
Similar to how bats use echolocation to navigate in the dark, ToF sensors measure distance and depth by calculating the time it takes the emitted light to travel to and from an object. Particularly, Samsung’s ISOCELL Vizion 63D is an indirect ToF (iToF) sensor that me...
