OAK-D W
Start with the why:
We’ve now gotten a bunch of reach-outs about something like OAK-D, but with 150 DFOV, IR-laser-dot-projection depth, and matching resolution/FOV/global shutter for the color camera.
This is similar to this idea, https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-hardware/issues/21, which we already had on the roadmap, but with the change that apparently a lot of applications want this and wide FOV, which is separately https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-hardware/issues/15.
Many folks want to use such a product on small aerial vehicles. And as such size and weight are important.
Move to the how:
ArduCam already implemented https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-hardware/issues/15 , and now produces this 150DFOV OV9282 module as a standard product for DepthAI customers, here. So far though, this has only been used in custom products built with OAK-SOM/etc.
We should work with ArduCam to (1) update this OV9282 to the new/standard ArduCam connector format here and (2) make a OV9782 variant with the same connector/format but that blocks IR (for good color representation). Likely prototyping first with the existing format/connector
Move to the what:
Make a Wide FOV version of OAK-D Series 2 (https://github.com/luxonis/depthai-hardware/issues/115)
OAK-D W (W = Wide FOV)
- 2x OV9282 1280x800 global shutter grayscale 150 DFOV (IR capable)
- 1x OV9782 1280x800 global shutter color 150 DFOV (IR-blocking)
Here's more what the final version will look like.
It will have the same overall mechanical dimensions of OAK-D S2 and OAK-D Pro:
We're adding the capability to use USB cables that can fasten to the device.
