- corndoge 5y agoI heard the whole division is shutting down so probably won't be long now.
- IshKebab 5y agoYeah it sounds like they are just selling off stock: https://www.crn.com/news/components-peripherals/intel-says-it-s-winding-down-realsense-camera-business https://www.crn.com/news/components-peripherals/intel-says-i...
- zwieback 5y agoI thought that already happened? I think they are just selling what they have now but stopped development. Keyence, Flir and a few other established machine vision companies have stereo systems but nothing like RealSense, which was trying to make stereo more of a mainstream application.
- rcv 5y agoThey aren't officially EOLing the stereo cameras yet, but their assurances about how long they'll remain in production have been very hand-wavey. Does FLIR actually have a stereo solution? Back when they were Point Grey they sold the Bumblebee, but all of the stereo processing was done on the host machine.
- zwieback 5y agoYeah, I guess that's obsolete too. My experience with stereo is that there's so much work in calibration and ensuring you get reliable correlation results between regions from the two cameras that plug-and-play solutions are very hard.
- IshKebab 5y agoI have a D435 and it's 100% plug and play. It works very reliably. You can recalibrate it by pointing it at a wall, but I found it wasn't ever necessary.
