Metalenz unveils PolarEyes sensors that are 1

#Discussion(IoTStack) [ via IoTGroup ]

Metalenz unveiled a new kind of sensor dubbed PolarEyes which uses polarization technology to bring a new kind of sensing to camera-equipped devices.The Harvard University-born meta-optics company also brings polarized lenses to consumer and mobile devices for improved privacy and security features.

The full-stack system-level solution combines physics and optics software and hardware to power everything from next-generation smartphones and consumer electronics to new healthcare and automotive applications.Metalenz PolarEyes collects the polarized light information traditional cameras discard and parses through that information to better interpret the world around us.“We’re just really excited now to see exactly how we can impact all of these industries ” said Robert Devlin CEO of Metalenz in an interview with VentureBeat.

We last wrote about them in February 2021 when they raised $10 million to create 3D sensors on a chip with structures that are 1 000 times smaller than a human hair.That investment helped Metalenz scale production and accelerate the development of miniature optics on a chip technology and its new lens that could power the next generation of sensors for use in smartphones and other consumer health care and automotive applications.“It’s a 3D-sensing product and it’ll be in consumer devices starting in the second quarter of this year ” Devlin said.We can use it to bring entirely new forms of sensing to the consumer form factor and price point.” Metalenz provides a big advance in optics.“With polarization you can actually understand something about what the materials you’re looking at are made up of and so you can understand something about the underlying structure of these materials ” Devlin said.

Metalenz could make camera lenses and sensors better.Metalenz said it is already engaged with a number of the world’s largest manufacturers in the consumer electronics and automotive spaces from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to subsystem
