The Orion Family of Pattern Projectors by Metalenz is an innovative series of high-precision projectors designed to enhance 3D depth sensing across various platforms such as smartphones, AR/VR devices, and IoT systems. These projectors feature a groundbreaking meta-optic technology that enables the transformation of laser light into high-contrast dot or line patterns, facilitating superior 3D imaging performance. By leveraging a single flat meta-optic, Orion projectors simplify the integration process, reducing the requirement for multiple optical components traditionally necessary in pattern projection systems.
A key component of this family, the Orion 18K projector, stands out with its exceptional ability to generate approximately 18,000 dots in a pseudorandom pattern at 940nm. This ensures efficient operation under varying lighting conditions, both indoors and outdoors, providing class-leading power and contrast per dot. The single meta-optic design also ensures stability at extreme temperatures, making them suitable for a wide array of applications. This innovative approach results in a dramatic reduction in module size and simplifies assembly, offering a highly compact solution for 3D sensing.
The Orion projectors' adaptability is further reflected in their application potential across multiple industries, including automotive, consumer electronics, and smart robotics. This versatility, combined with their superior performance metrics, positions the Orion series as a prime choice for systems requiring precise depth information. Their use extends to face authentication, security systems, and beyond, reflecting Metalenz's commitment to delivering cutting-edge optical solutions that meet the demands of modern technology markets.
