The camera is the machine. It sees, it computes, it stores, it transmits, with no host and no trigger box. The microphone is on there because a connector clicks when it seats, and the sound confirms the insertion before the image does.

Recorded by this device on 2026-08-02, handheld, walking. Both cameras open on the same instant, and the nearer a thing is, the further apart it sits in the two frames. That difference is the baseline: 50 mm on the board that shot this, 70 mm on the one being built.

Original on the left, the board's own output on the right. The face goes; the signal you came for stays. This runs on the camera's own SoC.

Status. In development. Renders reflect the current design, and board revisions are ongoing. Imaging. Two onsemi AR0234CS global-shutter sensors provide 1920 × 1200 (2.3 MP) per camera with a 1/2.6-in optical format. Dual-camera frame-rate modes and lens-specific fields of view are under system characterization for this sensor. Footage on this page predates the sensor change and is not a Rev 6 performance specification. The 23.28 × 74.54 × 29.34 mm envelope is measured off the board assembly; the enclosure is the vendor's concept model and is not final. The next board revision. The baseline goes from 50 mm to 70 mm, a magnetometer joins the IMU for 9-axis motion sensing, and the radio moves to an ESP32-C5 for dual-band Wi-Fi on a pre-certified module, so radio approval carries rather than being re-tested on the assembly. Ultra-wideband arrives in the same revision. None of that is on the current board, and external camera clock distribution is design rather than shipped hardware. Prices are targets against the current BOM and tariff; quantity and lead time are open.

How it's built

01 / 09
One substrate
Both cameras, the SoC, the radios and the microSD slot share one 23 × 74.5 mm board. Bought separately they are four products. Here they are one part.
02 / 09
Two boards, folded
The power section breaks off at its mouse-bite tabs and folds underneath onto a board-to-board connector. That fold is why the length is 74 mm instead of 102.
03 / 09
Two sensors, underside
Two onsemi AR0234CS global-shutter sensors, 1920 × 1200 each, on the underside, exposed together by one SYNC/PWMSYNC line. Global, not rolling: the whole frame opens at once instead of row by row.
04 / 09
Seventy millimetres apart
The two optical axes sit 70 mm apart, centre to centre, on the board's own centreline. Depth from a stereo pair is triangulation, and a baseline set in the layout cannot drift on a bracket.
05 / 09
M12, assembled and screwed down
The module screws through the board from the top face on a standard M12 board-lens thread. Fisheye, wide and standard barrels fit the mount. Field-of-view figures are under characterization for the AR0234CS optical format.
06 / 09
Off the tether
Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE and 802.15.4 on a chip antenna at the board edge, and ultra-wideband alongside them. UWB has to timestamp arrivals in picoseconds to measure distance at all, which is what lets a clock cross to a glove or a second unit with no wire between them.
07 / 09
Frames land here
Both streams terminate in the SoC: Linux, hardware ISP, a 1 TOPS NPU, hardware encoding. Faces can be redacted here, before anything is written or sent. An equivalent rig needs a computer beside it, and fifty rigs need fifty.
08 / 09
The beat, handed outward
The same clock that exposes both sensors is distributed outward, so hardware someone else built captures on this beat instead of its own. A tactile glove, a robot arm, a second unit.
09 / 09
The whole device
Assembled it is 23.28 × 74.54 × 29.34 mm, with both cameras, the SoC and the radios inside, running off a single cell. One self-contained object is a thing you can hand to fifty people. A bench is not.

Price

Hardware-synchronized stereo is not news; two industrial cameras and a trigger box have done it for years. What does not exist is all of it on one 23 × 74 mm board, at $240 a unit. Fifty rigs of that arrangement is two hundred objects: a hundred cameras, fifty trigger boxes, fifty computers. Rigs that move independently cannot share a host machine. Fifty of this one is fifty cameras.

FIRST 100

Pre-order open

$180 a unit for the first 100. Paid now, refundable in full on request any time before shipping. The design is not frozen, so requirements raised in this window shape the early units.

Pre-order

NEXT 500

Second batch

Once the first hundred are taken, orders roll into the next 500 at $210 a unit on the same terms.

Opens when the first 100 are taken

Standard

$240 a unit, the price once the pre-order tiers are gone. The M12 lens module is interchangeable, so the optics choice stays yours.

Fleet

From twenty units we quote. Quantity, lead time, lens configuration and invoicing terms get settled together. Orders above 100 units come here rather than through a payment link.

LPDDR4 has risen roughly sevenfold in a year, and anything built on a Linux single-board computer with gigabytes of it has risen with it. This board carries 256 MB of DDR3L inside the SoC package, so that rise has not reached the price.

Design partner program

This fall: our first robotics design partners.

Sign up by August 20 for accelerated lead times. The program is for robotics and data-collection teams whose next problem is the count: the rig is settled, and it now has to exist in quantity. A design partner specifies the device rather than orders one, because nothing about it is frozen yet.

Design partners get remote firmware flashing. Put your own build on a unit without shipping it anywhere, with UART output and remote boot and reset, so a unit can always be brought back.

Remote access is down right now. The prototype broke during bring-up and the next batch is on order. The sign-up stays open, and we come back to you in order the moment access is up.

First sale. After 7 months of building. We finally got to experience it. We look forward to collaborating with @ronakgt from 6thsense.

Have come so far from building development prototype to our own stereocamera.

Got my full custom camera sensor to software stack working!!!!

Posted while the boards were being built. Each links to the original.

The sensor no longer documents reality. It learns to reproduce it.

Same camera at training and deployment = no distribution shift. The model doesn't collapse because the robot's optics differ from the collection ones.
