Today, pmdtechnologies ag is announcing the next generation of its 3D Time-of-Flight Development Kit, the “flexx2”.
This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220112005533/en/
Working in Partnership with Emcraft Systems, a California based provider of hardware and software solutions for embedded applications, the flexx2 has been upgraded from the market-leading “PicoFlexx” to deliver even better depth-sensing performance with 38,000 3D pixels and a 56 x 44 degree Field-of-View, all in the size of a pack of chewing gum at 72.1mm x 19.2mm x 10.2mm.
The VCSEL emitter has been upgraded from 850-nanometer to 940-nanometer wavelength to further increase sunlight robustness and outdoor performance. Additionally the USB-A port was replaced by a more robust USB 3.0 type C port.
Multiple new built-in user modes allow precise measurements from as close as 10cm to as far as 4 meters in just a single frame rate. The flexx2 can run up to 60 frames per second, which is useful for algorithms requiring fast capture such as gesture control.
The flexx2 comes with pmd’s market leading software development kit (SDK) “Royale”, and will be code compatible with the previous PicoFlexx. Royale supports popular programming extensions including Matlab, OpenCV, and ROS 1 + 2.
“The flexx2 builds on the success of the now-discontinued “PicoFlexx”, that already brought pmd’s 3D depth-sensing technology to the hands of thousands of developers worldwide”, says Mitchell Reifel, Vice President of pmdtechnologies Inc. “Countless exciting and industry-changing projects are built upon the flexibility and reliability of the 3D Development Kits and make use of the high-quality depth data from Infineon’s IRS2381C REAL3™ Time-of-Flight Image Sensor and pmd’s powerful SDK” he adds.
As an additional option of flexibility, the flexx2 is available in two versions: as an encased, certified Development Kit for prototyping and development, and as an uncased OEM module for high-volume production.
The new flexx2 can be pre-ordered at pmdtec.com/en/pmd-3d-sensing-family/ starting today, with shipments beginning in February.

IQM Deploys Its First U.S. Quantum Computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory16.6.2026 20:53:00 CEST | Press release
Pathfinder, a 20-qubit IQM Radiance system, is now operational at the home of Frontier, the world's most powerful supercomputer for open science. It’s ORNL's first commercially procured quantum computer and IQM's first system on U.S. soil. It will be connected to high-performance computing systems in the National Center for Computational Sciences Technology Integration Group's test bed. ORNL owns and operates the system on its own campus. IQM's deployment model gives customers direct ownership and control of their quantum infrastructure, including the IP. IQM has sold 23 full-stack quantum systems worldwide, more on-premises systems than any other manufacturer. The deployment expands IQM's commercial presence in the United States ahead of its planned Nasdaq listing through its merger with Real Asset Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: RAAQ). The Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) today launched Pathfinder, the first commercially procured quantum computer at ORNL, built
