New lineup – Femto Bolt
Compact form factor ideal for commercial deployments.Femto Boltis equipped with an RGB camera with HDR function, allowing you to obtain high-quality data.Also like the Azure Kinect Developer Kit, this camera easily connects to a computer or other host device via USB-C.With this single cable, you can smoothly supply power and exchange data.
*This is the closest product to the Azure Kinect Developer Kit.
*Femto Bolt is currently accepting reservations (as of September 2023).
We have been informed by the manufacturer that they will be testing the product around October, so sales are expected to start from November onwards.We will update the manufacturer's shipping status on this page.
We currently have it in stock, so it will be delivered immediately.
