Hello followers! Today, let’s explore how RealSense is making waves outside of Intel with innovative stereoscopic imaging technology.

After more than a decade inside Intel, RealSense is now an independent company. They develop cameras that create 3D depth perception by combining two images with infrared light, helping machines like robots, drones, and cars better understand their surroundings. This tech is also handy for facial authentication.

CEO Nadav Orbach explains that their technology helps machines react and plan actions in real-time by understanding 3D environments accurately. Orbach, who joined Intel in 2006 and worked on vision tech since 2011, shares their journey from experimenting across various markets to focusing on robotics, which has become their core domain.

RealSense’s technology isn’t limited to robotics; it’s used in diverse fields like fish farming for volume tracking or in restaurants with AI software partner PreciTaste to monitor food supplies. The company now has over 3,000 customers and has seen growing interest recently, especially with advances in AI aiding robotics applications.

To scale their operations, RealSense decided to spin out from Intel last year, backed by a $50 million Series A round led by Intel Capital. The move aims to boost their market reach and tech development, namely improving safety and access control in human-robot interactions. Orbach feels excited about leading this new journey with a strong team and entrepreneurial spirit, making it a true dream come true.
