Use only the essential information needed for Physical AI to see what’s there.
Most machine-vision alternatives use CMOS image sensors (CIS) — the same sensors in your phone's camera, designed to take pretty pictures, not to do AI vision. The OCLUI SPU works differently: it runs AI directly on the chip and transmits only the information needed to understand the scene.
Today’s CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) found in cell phones and other camera products were not designed for AI Vision. They are designed for capturing high resolution pictures. This isn’t the way our human eyes work. Oculi captures just enough of the right information to SEE what’s there.
OCULI Sensing and Processing Unit (SPU) integrates AI Vision at the pixel level, a fundamentally different architecture that changes the power-performance equation for Edge AI.
On-chip processing eliminates the data pipeline that drains battery. Purpose-built for always-on, battery-powered deployments at the Edge.
Decisions happen at the point of capture, no Cloud round-trip. Critical latency for autonomous systems and live detection under 5ms.
Personally identifiable information is filtered before any data leaves the device. Zero cloud dependency, all processing happens on-chip.
Software Defined Vision Sensors™ let the same chip power radically different applications, from wearables to defense to smart cities.
