Eye, face and hand tracking

Enabling the next generation of interactive experiences, through our comprehensive range of IR emitters and sensors.

Eye tracking

Eye tracking is becoming a critical feature of the latest Virtual and Augmented reality headsets. New interactive experiences are enabled by using eye gaze as a user interface and including it in photorealistic avatars. It can also be used to reduce system power through foveated rendering, and eye movements are also a potential new vital sign.

High accuracy, fast update rates, minimum power consumption, and a tiny form factor are critical to fitting eye tracking into VR and AR glasses. ams-OSRAM offers a leading range of components to make this possible, including:


We are constantly innovating in this field, looking at new and advanced eye tracking architectures that draw on our comprehensive portfolio of emitters and sensors.

ams BELAGO1.1 Dot Projector

ams BELAGO1.1 Dot Projector

BELAGO1.1 is a proprietary infrared dot-pattern illuminator for stereoscopic imaging and structured light platforms with eye-safety feature. It produces a focus-free, high-contrast dot pattern that algorithms can use to address low-texture situations and achieve high-accuracy depth maps. An additional benefit of the dot pattern is a reduction of the computational load required to perform the depth calculation.The BELAGO1.1 dot-pattern illuminator is provided in a miniature package that is compatible with standard lead-free reflow processes. As such, it can be successfully used onboard of a great variety of 3D sensing platforms, from mobile to IoT to robotics, both for stereoscopic imaging and structured light. BELAGO1.1 emitters project 5k dots, focus-free, in a random pattern at 940nm.

ams TMF8828 configurable 8x8 multi-zone Time-of-Flight Sensor

ams TMF8828 configurable 8x8 multi-zone Time-of-Flight Sensor

The TMF8828 is a direct time-of-flight (dToF) sensor in a single modular package with associated VCSEL. The dToF device is based on SPAD, TDC and histogram technology and achieves 5000 mm detection range. Due to its lens on the SPAD, it supports 3x3, 4x4, 3x6 and 8x8 multizone output data and a wide, dynamically adjustable, field of view. A multi-lens-array (MLA) inside the package above the VCSEL widens up the FoI (field of illumination). All processing of the raw data is performed on-chip and the TMF8828 provides distance information together with confidence values on its I2C interface.
