Computer Gadget- Orbbec Persee

Meet Orbbec Persee

Orbbec Persee is the world's first camera-computer. This versatile, low-cost device can plug into your TV/monitor, or it can run without a display and you can interact with it entirely through the built-in 3D camera.

Its ability to see, hear, and understand makes it much smarter than a regular computer. And its powerful built-in ARM processor makes it much more useful than single-use devices. Persee is the ideal smart home device, but that’s just the beginning...

Persee can do so much more than a regular computer.

Here are some cool things that Persee makes possible:

Automate your home. Control lights, music, and other home appliances automatically. Imagine an intelligent computer assistant that anticipates what you need and helps make your home life hassle free. Persee can even see in the dark!

Connect to your TV. Search the web, watch streaming video, and play games with simple voice commands and gestures. Before long, Persee also will be able to keep track of kids in the home and ensure only age-appropriate content is playing in rooms where children are present.

Take it with you. Persee can scan objects for exceptional 3D prints, be used in industrial settings strapped onto mobile machinery, and even mounted onto robots to give them better vision and understanding of our world.

Small. Smart. Inexpensive. Powerful.

Persee is your bonus brain. It’s always there for you—connecting the dots, anticipating your needs, and keeping your digital life running smoothly. 

Persee makes any space smarter. It's perfect for home surveillance, home assistance, home automation, and TV navigation. And it can be used in countless ways beyond the home.

That’s why creative coders, makers, and innovative developers everywhere are getting Persee for use in offices, classrooms, museums, hospitals, retail spaces, research labs, industrial settings.

What can I use Persee for?

Gadget's high-performance 3D cameras are already being used by artists, creative coders, developers, and innovative businesses. Soon, intelligent computers with 3D cameras will improve all aspects of our lives. 

Here are some cool things the community has told us they're planning to do with Persee right away:

• Digital & Interactive Art—If you’re an artist, you can build interactive experiences and installations. Persee can recognize & respond to people in real time and can create superb colored point clouds visualizations of our world. Orbbec will support several creative coding frameworks, including Processing, openFrameworks, and Unity 3D, so you can focus on your creative vision.

• Maker Projects— With SDK support for Windows, OS X, Linux, and Android, Persee's 3D camera is excellent for makers and hackers. Create highly accurate 3D scans for your 3D print projects. Add vision and autonomous navigation to your drones and robotics projects. You can even use Persee's powerful ARM CPU as your robot's brain!
• Home & Work—Tinker and automate with your daily routine. Persee lets you track and respond to humans, and even see in the dark. Deliver your next presentation slideshow via gesture. Automatically track your cat's movements. Control the lights and music at your next house party. Turn your ideas—both the practical and weird—into reality.

• Research—Researchers worldwide need state-of-the-art 3D cameras for a variety of projects, including work that’s focused on machine perception, accessibility, early childhood education, and education therapies. Our Persee camera-computer is excellent for research that requires computer vision, people and object tracking, and virtual and augmented reality.

• Coding platform—Learn to code, or use it to teach others. Go deep with Linux development with Persee. How better to learn programming than a computer that can respond to people, objects, and environments?

3D cameras appeal to individual developers and creatives as well as entrepreneurial & innovative businesses. Now, commercial applications can be even better with Persee: manufacturing & industry, workplace and vocational training, robot assistants, healthcare and physical rehab, retail, home automation, education, gaming, and more.

What makes our 3D tech special?

Orbbec Persee, as well as our Astra family of 3D cameras, are technically superior in the following ways:

• Longest Range – With a range of 0.4m - 8m, Orbbec 3D cameras are excellent for a wide range of scenarios, including gesture control, robotics, 3D scanning, and many new areas not possible until now.
• Exceptional Accuracy – Orbbec 3D cameras offer depth measurement accurate to within 0.5 centimeters at a distance of 2 meters, enabling developers to create apps with unparalleled clarity and precision.
• Highest Resolution – With smoother gradients, precise contours, and the ability to filter out low-quality depth pixels in a way other cameras cannot, Orbbec 3D cameras are exceptional for 3D scanning and point cloud development. Astra Pro also includes a 720p HD color camera and the ability to stream all of this data via USB 2.0.
• Lowest Latency –Astra Pro is the most responsive 3D camera on the market today. The time between action and response feels instantaneous—apps will feel as active and alive as human interaction.
