About PreAct Technologies
PreAct’s sensing stack combines software-definable flash lidar with edge perception tools. Mojave is a compact solid-state sensor for near-field three-dimensional depth maps, while the earlier T30P targets automotive and industrial packaging. Firmware and processing can be updated after installation, allowing one hardware design to be tuned for different ranges, fields of view and detection tasks.
The company also owns the Gestoos computer-vision platform, whose Creator software is used to train models for gestures and human activity. Together, the sensors, SDK and model tools support robotics, logistics, infrastructure monitoring, agriculture and vehicle functions such as curb detection, parking and door protection. PreAct has distributed Mojave through electronics channels including Arrow, DigiKey and Amazon and supplies development hardware and software licences for teams moving from prototype perception to embedded deployment.
