Chip

The PrimeSensor is built around PrimeSense’s PS1080 system on a chip (SoC). The PS1080 SoC houses extremely parallel computational logic, which receives a Light Coding™ infrared pattern as an input, and produces a VGA-size depth image of the scene.
 

The PS1080 SoC is a multi-sense system, providing a synchronized depth image, color image and audio stream. The PS1080 includes a USB 2.0 PHY, whose USB 2.0 interface is used to pass all data to the host. The PS1080 makes no assumptions about the host device CPU – all depth acquisition algorithms run on the PS1080, with only a minimal USB communication layer running on the host. This feature provides depth acquisition capabilities even to computationally limited host devices.
 
The PS1080 is PrimeSense’s second chip generation, and is already produced in mass-market quantities.
