photonicSENS, a pioneering supplier of single-lens 3D cameras for next-generation depth perception has collaborated with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to accelerate the commercialization of its industry-leading single-lens 3D camera technology. 

Beneficial features

With a complete reference design based on the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 888 5G Cellphone Platform, smartphone manufacturers can benefit from dramatic enhancements in-depth map resolution for front-facing applications like enhanced face authentication, and rear-facing applications including 3D reconstruction, enhanced bokeh, one-shot macro photography with 3D-reconstruction and printing of small objects and augmented reality (AR). 

Qualcomm® Platform Solutions Ecosystem Program

photonicSENS' single-lens 3D depth sensing solution will be a game-changer for smartphones"

PhotonicSENS is part of the Qualcomm® Platform Solutions Ecosystem Program, which enables software and application vendors to pre-integrate and optimize solutions to create a premium user experience and feature differentiation for OEMs.

"photonicSENS' single-lens 3D depth sensing solution will be a game-changer for smartphones," said, Ann Whyte, President of photonicSENS.

Single-lens apiCAM technology

"The 3D depth camera reference designs of this collaboration are based on our single-lens apiCAM technology that with a single device delivers simultaneously an RGB image and depth map to offer smartphone manufacturers the means to differentiate with enhanced photographic features, a 1.4Mpx depth map, the lowest component count, lowest cost and the lowest power dissipation, as well as the best performance in any environment.”

“Snapdragon 888 is a clear leader, and we are excited to be working with Qualcomm Technologies to release our cutting-edge 3D sensing solution to market."

Availability

photonicSENS is presenting the reference design at Mobile World Congress 2021 in Barcelona, Spain from 28th June to 1 July in Hall 3 (3H52MR).
