R8 product render supplied in the 2026 manufacturer specification document. Final hardware, cable, calibration, and firmware configuration must be confirmed.
Dual global shutter
Hardware sync
6-axis IMU
Factory calibration support
R8 capture architecture
Built for synchronized stereo and visual-inertial data collection.
The supplied document positions R8 as a head-mounted capture platform for human demonstrations, embodied-AI datasets, and VIO/SLAM front-end development. R8 provides the capture layer; depth, localization, annotation, and model training remain part of the connected software pipeline.
Hardware synchronization
The document specifies a common hardware trigger or shutter signal for dual-camera synchronization.
Configurable 6-axis IMU
Listed sampling choices are 100, 200, and 500 Hz, with unified timestamps for camera and inertial samples.
Calibration and SDK support
The document describes unit-specific intrinsics, distortion coefficients, stereo extrinsics where applicable, and SDK/API delivery.

These supplied product renders show the dual-camera enclosure, adjustable mounting position, headband structure, and rear fit from complementary viewpoints.
R8 stereo module
A compact fixed-focus dual-camera front end.
The module uses M12 × 0.5 lens mounts and the SC235HGS sensor family named in the source document. Multiple views below come directly from the uploaded specification.

Configuration note: the main table lists H.264/H.265 output, while the USB mode table lists MJPG and YUY2. The narrative also describes nanosecond-level hardware timestamp alignment. Confirm available codecs, timestamp units, measured synchronization tolerance, delivered calibration files, and SDK support on the final sample.
USB 2.0 video modes
Published frame-rate combinations.
These combinations are reproduced from the uploaded mode table. Confirm whether both cameras stream simultaneously in the selected mode and how bandwidth is allocated.
| Format | Resolution | USB 2.0 frame rate |
|---|---|---|
| MJPG | 1920 × 1080 | 30 FPS |
| MJPG | 1280 × 720 | 30 FPS |
| MJPG | 640 × 480 | 30 FPS |
| YUY2 | 1920 × 1080 | 15 FPS |

Documented reliability programme
Environmental, physical, and electrical checks.
The source document lists qualification tests for storage and operation temperature, humidity, thermal shock, drop, vibration, cable tensile load, ESD, power cycling, and USB connector cycling. These are test descriptions, not an IP rating or a guarantee for every use environment.
Storage at +60°C and −20°C for 96 hours; operation tests at +60°C and −20°C for 24 hours; humidity at 60°C and 80% for 24 hours.
60 cm packaged and unpackaged drop tests, 50 Hz vibration on X/Y/Z axes, and a 4 kg cable tensile load for 60 seconds.
2 kV contact ESD, 4 kV air ESD, 30-second on/off cycling for 24 hours, and 250 USB connector cycles.
The main specification table lists the working range as 0°C to +60°C even though the reliability section includes a −20°C operation test. Use 0°C to +60°C as the published working range until the supplier confirms otherwise.
