State-of-the-art 3D-depth sensing chip unveiled

“Our first generation real-time depth chip AL3200 launched in 2016 has achieved a remarkable success in millions of smartphone and portable devices worldwide. We are now excited to announce the next generation AL6100 depth chip, together with active IR(infrared) light will further enhance our real-time depth quality and computing to support a wide range of applications such as smartphone, surveillance, autonomous vehicle, smart home assistant, drone, sweeping robot, etc.,” said Jason Lin, senior vice president of Altek Corporation. The company can demonstrate the AL6100 chip with applications in surveillance camera, smartphone, and VR/AR camera. Deep learning technology focusing on human recognition under various environments and lighting conditions can be demonstrated with the surveillance camera. This enables the camera to act as an edge device in the network to free up bandwidth and to protect individual privacy. For VR/AR, the real-time depth information provided by device allows applications to have a more accurate perception of its surrounding environment and the posture and gesture of people in proximity.
