Vayyar Releases Walabot SDK Globally; Gives Developers the Tools to Build Great 3D Sensing Apps
Walabot SDK gives creators worldwide the ability to create content designed to track people or things, see through walls, monitor breathing, and much more
SAN FRANCISCO, May 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Vayyar (http://vayyar.com), the 3D imaging company whose technology allows you to see through objects, liquids, and materials, today announced it has shipped the Software Development Kit (SDK) for its consumer product, Walabot. Utilizing powerful 3D imaging and sensing technology, Walabot can uncover things hidden within the world by simply attaching to the back of one's smartphone. Developers who use the Walabot SDK can access four powerful APIs, which will give them the ability to track targets, see through walls, and monitor breathing, along with out-putting raw sensor data. Applications created with the SDK can be used across Windows and Android-based platforms. Check out a video of Walabot's many capabilities here.
"We've always known how powerful our 3D imaging sensor technology can be, and now it's time to put it to the test and get it into the hands of developers. It's an exciting time, and we're confident that the four powerful APIs we've created to date will unleash a flurry of creative genius from all over the world," said Raviv Melamed, CEO and co-founder of Vayyar Imaging. "Our SDK program is designed to work in close collaboration with developers and makers by soliciting feedback and providing support throughout the process. We're looking forward to their feedback, suggestions, and even bug reports as we continue to support the evolving Walabot community."
Walabot's sensors uncover things hidden within the world through powerful 3D imaging and sensing technology. The powerful, pocket-sized device provides cutting-edge Radio Frequency (RF) technology for 3D sensing and image processing, which enables developers to create sophisticated applications. Compatible with select Android devices, Walabot's sensor magnetically connect to the back of one's smartphone and can see through known barriers such as walls, cement and other materials, or monitor breathing and detect falling to create a Smart Home, and much more.
Content from the SDK program will be available when Walabot ships globally this summer. The Walabot consumer product will range in price from $149 to $599 USD and will feature applications for Smart Home, robotics, health monitoring, 3D imaging and more.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
