With a package size of just 1.64mm x 1.64mm, the OG0TC is an ultra-small and low-power image sensor for optimizing primarily inward-facing tracking cameras. This small form factor is key to industrial designs as multiple cameras are required for tracking all aspects of the face (eyes, brows, lips, etc.). The OG0TC is pin-to-pin compatible with OMNIVISION’s previous-generation BSI GS image sensor for easy upgrades.

“Ultra-low power consumption is critical for AR/VR battery-powered devices, and our OG0TC BSI GS image sensor reduces power by more than 40% over our previous-generation OG0TB sensor, which is already an extremely low-power device,” says Devang Patel, marketing director – IoT/Emerging, OMNIVISION. “Pin-to-pin compatibility makes the upgrade to the OG0TC easy for our customers, so they do not need to make any change to their design to save power and enjoy new features like DCG™ technology.”

Key features of the OG0TC image sensor include:

Patel adds, “We are excited to introduce our single-exposure DCG™ HDR technology for ghost-free image capture to the AR/VR market. It already has proven to be extremely successful in the security, mobile and automotive industries.”

The OG0TC GS image sensor is available now for sampling and is in mass production. For more information, contact your OMNIVISION sales representative: www.ovt.com/contact-sales.
