New image sensor dev kit speeds up prototyping for embedded or robotic platforms

The Intel RealSense Developer Kit, available from RS Components, has the ZR300 (ZR300 developer kit) with a high-resolution depth camera and a robust motion tracking module. Also the developer kit has a USB 3.0 interface that speeds up prototyping and build applications for embedded or robotic platforms. Features include the ability to determine position and orientation using visual odometry. It also enables 3D spatial perception using motion tracking, depth perception, and area learning. The device offers robust tracking enabled by using depth, wide FOV camera and IMU > 3.5m indoor range and longer range outdoors. It uses IR projector for indoor usages and ambient IR from sunlight for outdoors.
