Lattice Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ: LSCC), the leading
provider of customizable smart connectivity solutions, today
announced that Guangdong Virtual Reality Technology Co., Ltd.
(Ximmerse), a provider of interaction systems for mobile AR/VR
applications, has selected Lattice’s ECP5™ FPGA to perform stereo
vision computing in their AR/VR tracking platform. Lattice’s
market-leading ECP5 FPGAs are ideal for flexible connectivity and
acceleration at the edge due to their low power, small form factor
and low cost, delivering an energy-efficient, low latency
solution.
As the market need for AR/VR environments continues to grow,
current head mounted display (HMD)-based systems witness
performance issues running content on mobile applications
processors (APs). As such, performing visual based positional
tracking on the processor has proven challenging. With up to 85K
LUTs in a small 10 x 10 mm package, Lattice’s ECP5 FPGA offers
lower latency and increased power-efficiency image processing
compared to an AP. The programmable fabric and I/Os also allow
Ximmerse to easily choose and source the camera sensor from
different vendors based on the product requirement.
“Lattice has been a valuable partner in overcoming design and
performance challenges we previously faced when building our mobile
AR/VR solutions,” said Jingwen Dai, CTO at Ximmerse. “Their video
expertise and top-notch customer support, along with their flexible
ECP5 FPGA, helped us deliver a solution that’s far smarter and
higher performance. We look forward to continuing our work
together.”
This announcement underscores Lattice’s continued success and
leadership in AR and VR applications. Its extensive product suite
includes WirelessHD® modules for sub-frame latency video
transmission in wireless VR systems, CrossLink™ FPGAs for MIPI®
display bridging and multi-camera aggregation in 360 cameras and
SLAM (simultaneous localization and mapping), and iCE40™ FPGAs for
concurrent data acquisition for sensor based positional tracking
systems.
“Lattice’s ECP5 FPGA continues to accelerate the adoption of
mobile-influenced technology in rapidly evolving systems at the
edge,” said Ying Chen, senior marketing manager for new consumer
markets at Lattice Semiconductor. “In the past year alone, we’ve
seen companies from around the globe implement our small form
factor, low power, low latency FPGAs for a wide array of products
from AR/VR systems, robotics and drones to machine vision and smart
surveillance cameras. This is just the beginning; we are
enthusiastic about what’s ahead for innovation and design at the
edge.”
Ximmerse currently offers both inside-out and outside-in
tracking products and solutions that are already licensed by the
industry’s hottest AR and VR HMD vendors. To learn more about the
