Operating System

Windows 10, Linux/ARM

•  The Flexx2 is a 3D imaging,  

Time-of-Flight (ToF) USB 

camera that can be used for 

experimentation, development, 

or as a component in an  

end-product

•  The Flexx2 has a USB3  

connection which is plugged 

into a Windows PC or an  

embedded Linux development 

system such as a Raspberry 

Pi 3

•  The Flexx2 has 38,000 depth 

points, and the camera out-

puts two data streams: the 

depthmap and the Infrared (IR) 

image, both of which can be 

used in 3D imaging algorithms 

Although tested on many devices, we cannot guarantee seamless operation with all 

USB chipsets on the market. Utilize an active USB hub if problems occur with notebook 

or tablet operation
