…to launch ToF cameras Orbbec announced its plan at CES 2021 to introduce its new time-of-flight (ToF) camera product line, supporting multiple ToF sensors, on-board depth computing, six-axis IMU (inertial measurement unit) motion tracking, and multi-camera synchronization. ToF is a technology for capturing the exact position and shape of objects and scenes, said Orbbec. Similar in principle of how ultrasound uses sound waves to create an image, ToF uses light to measure shapes, movement, and position of static or moving objects with pinpoint accuracy and at greater distances than previously available in the market. Orbbec said it is partnering with…

…its go-to-market strategy for the Guardian XO? Wolff: At CES 2020, we showed our Alpha model with Delta, right before the pandemic hit. We started deploying it, but most of our customers unfortunately closed their facilities to third parties. Some of our units got trapped in facilities, and we had to go back to get them months later. We brought them back, took the learnings, and conducted extensive ongoing testing. There's a lot of internal testing and validation. The Guardian XO is designed for full-shift industrial use.
