Early Adopter Program
Skybotix launched an Early Adopter Program for its VI Sensor. This program addresses research groups around the world that are eager to get their hands on the VI sensor technology early and are willing to help us with their feedback to make our market-ready technology into a really great and easy-to-use hardware platform.

It's all about Support
By joining the Early Adopter Program, you get the latest tested VI sensor hardware including drivers and example applications. During the program and by the help of your feedback, Skybotix will constantly improve the driver software as well as move more steps of the computer vision pipeline to the embedded system and eventually to the FPGA. Until the end of the program, you will get all of these software updates for free. In addition, we will support you in getting started with the sensor and the integration into your system.
