LEICA CAMERA AND PMDTECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCE A STRATEGIC TECHNOLOGY COOPERATION TO OFFER OPTIMIZED LENSES FOR 3D SENSOR SOLUTIONS
In context of the Mobile World Congress Leica Camera AG and Pmdtechnologies AG, the leading fabless IC supplier of high-performance Time-of-Flight (ToF) depth sensing solutions, today announced a strategic alliance to jointly develop and market 3D sensing camera solutions for mobile devices.
The partnership utilizes the core competencies of both companies to develop optimized lenses for the specific requirements of 3D depth sensing solutions. With tailor-made optics the partners address the increasing demand especially from the mobile device segment for highly efficient lenses with compact dimensions. The spatial proximity of the two companies allows a particularly fast and efficient coordination during development, testing and optimization of the lenses for the 3D sensor systems.
