solution for pico projection, heads-up-display, and augmented reality eyewear
applications. The same flexible technology can also be applied to exciting new sensing
applications, such as 3D depth sensing. Demand for small and low cost 3D depth sensing
solutions is growing rapidly, driven by increasing demand for new Natural
User Interface, Machine Vision, Robotic Navigation, Metrology, and Advanced Driver
Assistance System (ADAS) solutions.
This session will compare the existing 3D depth sensor solutions based on stereo
cameras, structured light and 3D CMOS Cameras. It will then present a new MEMS LBS
depth sensor platform solution that can enable a new generation of tiny 3D depth sensors
with capabilities such as dynamic variable resolution and variable acquisition speed. These
dynamic LBS depth sensors are an enabling technology for a completely new
set of innovative products and applications.

Conclusion & Call to Action
• 3D sensing is a new, fast growing application area for tomorrow’s Internet of Things -
presenting new opportunities for the sensor industry and supply chain.
• 3D depth sensors can be implemented with a variety of technologies, but MEMS based sensors
can provide unique capabilities to enable new product innovation and consequently drive further
MEMS and sensor industry growth.
• Designing platform solutions that can be applied to a variety of applications can reduce
development costs and shorten time to market for new applications.
• In addition to producing great MEMS and Sensor hardware, collaboration with 3rd party
software developers (middleware, algorithms, OS platforms) is needed to enable full stack
MEMS based, off-the-shelf, advanced sensor solutions that reduce time from product idea to
working prototype -- and ultimately reduce time to market for innovative new products.
