Living Optics Camera
Bringing spectral information to computer vision

The Living Optics Camera is a VIS-NIR video-rate spectral imaging camera.

Developers can now see the whole image, capturing both deeper spectral information alongside spatial RGB images, all at video frame rates.

Engineered to integrate the capabilities of spectral imaging into computer vision and empower developers to explore and harness the advantages of Hyperspectral Imaging in their applications.

Living Optics
Development Kit

The Living Optics Development kit gives everything you need to start exploring with hyperspectral imaging at video rates. It includes the Living Optics Camera and an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin developer kit that has been completely setup ready to start imaging from the moment your power it on.

It can go with you wherever you need to work – at your desk, in the lab or even in a vineyard!
With the Field kit accessory pack it can go fully remote and you can control the Living Optics Camera using just your mobile phone.

Already have an NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin developer kit available? Then our Camera Kit can give you everything you need to assemble it yourself and start exploring with hyperspectral imaging.
