The thinnest laptop camera module is released, and faces on the screen are finally clear

At CES 2022 this month, all are sparing no effort to "show their muscles", and a number of strong chips and new notebook products are expected. However, in the chip, screen, and even the keyboard and trackpad are constantly iterating today, the laptop camera module seems to have stopped many years ago.

Nowadays, many people are used to the rich and powerful features of mobile phone cameras, but many laptop cameras even have only 1 million pixels, and the picture that appears on the computer screen through such a lens will not be that clear.

Recently, vision systems developer Immervision launched an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle lens and sensor combination, this new module combination is only 3.8 mm thick, should be the world's thinnest laptop camera module.

With Immervision's patented technology in the field of vision technology, this module enables higher image clarity and provides a high quality solution for higher resolution, wider field of view and more advanced distortion control.

According to Patrice Roulet Fontani, co-founder and vice president of technology at Immervision, the company has been able to maximize vision and image quality in a few millimeters of space in modern devices through its partnerships with Oems. This camera module can be used in combination with Immervision's wide-angle distortion correction and anti-distortion algorithms, along with face and body protection algorithms, to deliver an unprecedented, novel and fresh video calling experience.

In the years of continuous update and iteration of laptop computers, the performance of the camera is somewhat "incompatible" with other devices, not that laptop manufacturers have ignored this function, but a choice made when creating products.

As a productivity tool, in addition to the notebook to have powerful functions, but also in the pursuit of light and portable, choose a low-pixel camera, one of the reasons is that the user's demand in this area is not so urgent. For many people, the main function of the camera on a laptop is the few video calls, and if you need a higher quality picture, you usually choose to use an external device.

In addition to the needs of users, the thickness of the camera module is also a "barrier" that cannot be ignored. If you want A camera to have higher performance, it usually means a larger volume, but a thin enough notebook A side and a good enough camera can not always have both. However, the changes in people's office and lifestyle in recent years mean that the laptop camera has more "places to use", which means that the manufacturer's configuration scheme must be changed. With Immervision's ultra-thin laptop camera module, you can get the best of both worlds.

Of course, it is always difficult to synchronize the new cycle of notebook computers with the changes in user needs and the updates of solutions, but surely in the near future, people will be able to see themselves more clearly on the screen through the laptop camera.
