2Pi Optics Unveils Industry's First Commercial Fisheye Camera Based on Metalens Technology for Driver Assistance, AR/VR, and UAVs/Robotics

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, January 4, 2024

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- (CES booth #16759) 2Pi Inc. (2Pi Optics), an innovator of high-performance metasurface optics technologies, has introduced the world's first high-resolution fisheye sensor based on optical metalens technology. This breakthrough technology, demonstrated today by 2Pi Optics, is widely anticipated by design engineers who want to further miniaturize the cameras used in advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), AR/VR, UAVs, robotics and other industrial applications, and establishes 2Pi Optics at the forefront of optical sensor technologies.

Key Points: 
  • Traditional refractive fisheye lenses require between six and twelve stacked lens components, which limits their compactness and affordability.
  • Our design, in contrast, outperforms conventional refractive, wide-FOV optics in all areas: size, weight, performance, and cost.
  • 2Pi Optics addresses that challenge today with the first flat fisheye lens to produce crisp, 180-degree panoramic images.
  • 2Pi's proprietary technology replaces bulky and costly conventional wide-FOV lenses—which are typically composed of multiple stacked lens pieces—with a single, thin, flat metalens.
