Oryx Vision was a developer of solid state depth sensing solutions for autonomous vehicles based on LiDAR technology. The company used a radically innovative depth-sensing technology - antennae in place of photodetectors to retrieve both range and velocity information for the points of light in its high-resolution scans of its surroundings. Oryx's LiDAR was targetted to deliver the range and resolution vision requirements of fully autonomous driving while mitigating interference from sunlighht and delivering orders of magnitude more sensitivity than existing LiDAR systems.
Oryx Vision was spearheading the use of LiDAR to enable ADAS.
