About Lumotive
Lumotive supplies programmable optical chips that let sensor designers control where light is directed electronically. Its Light Control Metasurface technology changes the beam at the chip surface, allowing a sensing system to vary its coverage without a rotating scanner. The LM10 device works with both direct and indirect time-of-flight depth sensors.
Customers can combine the chip with their chosen lasers, optics and detectors, selecting the balance between field of view and range. Development kits and reference designs, including the M30 sensor design, provide a starting point for integration. Lumotive also applies optical beamforming to communications and circuit switching, extending the same light-control approach beyond robotic and industrial sensing.

- 2026-09-24 - Product Launch - Leopard Imaging and Lumotive launch Sirius Max 3D sensor
The integrated GMSL2 system combines RGB imaging, iToF depth sensing, synchronization and programmable beam-steered illumination. The companies specify more than 20 metres of indoor and outdoor depth range, 1 MP depth resolution and programmable regions of interest. Directional illumination and depth scanning are intended to improve optical efficiency and ambient-light rejection without moving mechanical parts.
