What we do

Research

We build high-accuracy, high-speed 3D measurement systems — the sensing hardware, the reconstruction algorithms, and the physically-grounded data that teaches embodied, physical AI.

What we work on

Applications & domains

The same 3D optical sensing core reaches across robotics, security, mobility, medicine, and immersive media.

Robotics & Physical AI

Dynamic 3D scans and per-joint hand tracking that give embodied AI physically-grounded data for manipulation.

The scanners behind the scans

Novel projection architectures we build to push dynamic 3D capture — faster, and across a wider field of view.

High-speed projection

Cylindrical mechanical fringe projector

A rotating cylindrical projector that generates fringe patterns mechanically — enabling extremely high-speed fringe projection profilometry beyond the frame-rate limits of conventional digital projectors.

360° field of view

Omnidirectional digital fringe projection

A catadioptric system — fisheye camera, parabolic mirror, and DLP projector — that extends digital fringe projection to a panoramic field of view for omnidirectional 3D reconstruction.

Forensic 3D Imaging

Portable 3D capture in the field

High-resolution structured-light 3D imaging of footwear and tire impressions — engineered to be portable and field-ready, untethered from the lab.

Portable & field-ready

Portable structured-light 3D scanner

A compact, battery-powered scanner integrating a machine-vision camera, DLP projector, and on-board power electronics — engineered for high-accuracy structured-light 3D capture in the field, untethered from the lab.
