Company profile
OCULI had the world's first true AI vision solution, specifically designed from the ground up to duplicate human vision for Physical AI. The OCULI solution enables ultra-low power, low latency, high speed, low system-level cost, and built-in privacy. OCULI invented in-pixel computing to enable a chip-level sensing and processing unit, or SPU. The OCULI solution redefines inference processing for smart vision: processing is done on chip at the pixel level, the Edge of the Edge. At the core of our innovations is the Sensing and Processing Unit (SPU), a groundbreaking integration of sensor and processing capabilities invented specifically for Vision Intelligence applications. Unlike traditional sensors, the OCULI SPU is engineered to optimize the processing of visual data at the point of capture, enhancing both performance and efficiency. From a semiconductor and product processing standpoint, Oculi leverages low-cost CMOS process technology. OCULI builds intelligent, programmable vision sensors that process machine vision at the edge, ultra-low-power, and privacy-first by design. The company's stated vision is to redefine machine vision by embedding intelligence at the pixel, delivering real-time, energy-efficient, and privacy-first AI vision at the edge, and it runs evaluation programs for its markets.
Exhibits
Most machine-vision alternatives use CMOS image sensors (CIS) — the same sensors in your phone's camera, designed to take pretty pictures, not to do AI vision. The OCULI SPU works differently: it runs AI directly on the chip and transmits only the information needed to understand the scene. Today’s CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) found in cell phones and other camera products were not designed for AI Vision. They are designed for capturing high resolution pictures. This isn’t the way our human eyes work. Oculi captures just enough of the right information to SEE what’s there. OCULI Sensing and Processing Unit (SPU) integrates AI Vision at the pixel level, a fundamentally different architecture that changes the power-performance equation for Edge AI. On-chip processing eliminates the data pipeline that drains battery. Purpose-built for always-on, battery-powered deployments at the Edge. Decisions happen at the point of capture, no Cloud round-trip. Critical latency for autonomous systems and live detection under 5ms. Personally identifiable information is filtered before any data leaves the device. Zero cloud dependency, all processing happens on-chip. Software Defined Vision Sensors™ let the same chip power radically different applications, from wearables to defense to smart cities. OCULI offers its solution to customers as an OCULI SPU, or as a complete Lens Module. Our Product Development Kit has all the tools necessary to develop your own designs and use the Software Defined Vision Sensor(TM) capability of our solution. Go to our Evaluation Platform page to get started! OCULI holds exclusive worldwide rights to core technology developed with over $40M in research investment at Johns Hopkins University, plus a growing portfolio of in-house patents. The OCULI Sensing and Processing Unit (SPU) is fully programmable. The same hardware powers a wide range of deployments across industries. Privacy-first urban monitoring, traffic intelligence, and infrastructure analytics, always on with zero cloud dependency. Real-time visual intelligence for robotics, autonomous vehicles, and industrial automation at the edge. Ultra-low-power AI vision for consumer electronics, wearables, AR/VR, and IoT edge devices. Ultra low SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) vision sensors for unmanned and autonomous defense platforms. Oculi’s IntelliPixel® technology delivers real-time visual intelligence with complete edge autonomy, no network required. Demonstrated to outperform expensive military imaging systems at 30,000 FPS with less than 0.3W power consumption. OCULI’s leadership combines the original research behind the technology with proven commercial exits and decades of image sensor industry experience. Chief Executive Officer Serial entrepreneur with multiple successful exits, including an IPO on NASDAQ that reached a $1.2 billion valuation. Deep experience taking deep-tech companies from early stage to market scale. Head of Product Development 30+ years of image sensor experience at the companies that defined the industry — Kodak, Pixim, and Sony. Brings rare depth of knowledge in both the physics and the commercial realities of sensor hardware.
