NILT metaEye™

Ultra-Compact camera

The NILT metaEye is smaller, simpler, and more robust than any other camera on the market.

Tiny size, big performance

NILT metaEye™ is the smallest and first realized camera using metalenses. Its unique architecture (a cube that is smaller than a grain of rice) that delivers a high-quality camera for near infrared (NIR) sensing, perfect for eye-tracking within augmented (AR) glasses, virtual reality (VR) headsets and other devices where precise eye and facial recognition is important.

Features

Ultra-compact module (lens, sensor, PCB, mounting):

  • Solid lens cube, without air gap

  • Measures only 1.64 x 1.64 x 2.17 mm

  • Outstanding MTF image quality across field

  • Tunable to meet customer requirements

  • Customizable focus range

  • Simple assembly process.

Applications

The metaEye™ has an optimized design for application in eye-tracking and iris recognition. Images and video captured with this metacube camera show high contrast and good resolution across the entire field of view when illuminated with an LED operating at 850 nm. The camera module operates over a large depth-of-field, making for good user experience.
