Sixdof created an optical solution offering breakthroughs in latency, accuracy & power. Our patent pending technology leverages visible or IR light to serve as location beacons, reporting...

Technology Highlights:

  • Patent Pending Optics
  • IR or Visible Lights
  • Coded Beacons (high speed flashing for unique ID)
  • Low Cost
  • Low Processing and Operating Power
  • Low Latency

The Sixdof Solution

Concentrate only on bright and high contrast objects with shutter of <1ms
Image compression at optical domain

Small data sets allow SLAM iterations as rapidly as every 1ms
At 1KHz frame rates user movements are typically well below 1 degree angular and less than 1cm translational

  • Absolute Localization with Coded Beacons
  • Individually coded infra-red light beacons
  • Variable size and power
  • Ability to re-localize if tracking is lost due to momentary obstruction of line-of-sight
  • Absolute real-world locking for high precision AR applications (pixel stick)
  • Pre-defined light map
  • Can use a miniature, 2-sensor module

Toroid Lens Module Performance

  • Large field of view (>120 degrees in both axes)
  • High Optical efficiency - large NA
  • Very high image resolution
  • Single element optic design
  • 1K pixel low-cost linear CMOS sensor
  • 0.5 mSec shutter or less
  • Up to 1KHz readout rate
  • At 8-bit quantization, still only 1MByte/sec of data per sensor

Potential Applications (partial list)

  • Head tracking AR and VR headsets
  • Camera position tracking for AR applications
  • Moving vehicle tracking in an indoor location (forklifts, robots, trains)
  • Tracking workers in a construction site
  • Navigation and positioning of drones
  • Navigation for in large indoor facilities and tunnels
  • Landing system navigation for crafts
  • Medical instrument tracking and robotic surgery
