Lattice’s Low Power, Small Form Factor ECP5 FPGA Enables Ximmerse VR/AR Tracking Platform
Lattice FPGA Technology Provides Low Latency Visual Computing Needed for Inside-out, Outside-In Tracking for Processing at the Edge
- Ximmerse adopts Lattice FPGA to perform stereo vision computing for mobile AR/VR positional tracking
- ECP5 FPGA is used as a low latency, low power and low cost stereo vision processor to offload mobile application processor for VR/AR positional tracking
As the market need for AR/VR environments continues to grow, current head mounted display (HMD)-based systems witness performance issues running content on mobile applications processors (APs). As such, performing visual based positional tracking on the processor has proven challenging. With up to 85K LUTs in a small 10 x 10 mm package, Lattice’s ECP5 FPGA offers lower latency and increased power-efficiency image processing compared to an AP. The programmable fabric and I/Os also allow Ximmerse to easily choose and source the camera sensor from different vendors based on the product requirement.
“Lattice has been a valuable partner in overcoming design and
performance challenges we previously faced when building our mobile
AR/VR solutions,” said
This announcement underscores Lattice’s continued success and leadership in AR and VR applications. Its extensive product suite includes WirelessHD® modules for sub-frame latency video transmission in wireless VR systems, CrossLink™ FPGAs for MIPI® display bridging and multi-camera aggregation in 360 cameras and SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping), and iCE40™ FPGAs for concurrent data acquisition for sensor based positional tracking systems.
“Lattice’s ECP5 FPGA continues to accelerate the adoption of
mobile-influenced technology in rapidly evolving systems at the edge,”
said
Ximmerse currently offers both inside-out and outside-in tracking products and solutions that are already licensed by the industry’s hottest AR and VR HMD vendors. To learn more about the Ximmerse offering, please visit: www.ximmerse.com.
