VR Camera

Type: component
PROBLEM

The operator cannot see what is happening at the booth if there is no camera, and VR requires more than one angle.

SOLUTION

The VR Camera is a dual-lens stereoscopic wide-angle camera assembly mounted on the Turn Pike unit providing the live binocular video feed transmitted to the operator's VR Glasses. The camera captures at 4K per eye at 90 frames per second, sufficient for a full-presence VR experience without motion artifacts during head-tracked view changes. A secondary wide-angle overview camera covers the vehicle approach lane and feeds a picture-in-picture monitor in the operator's peripheral view for situational awareness of what is coming before it arrives at the window. The camera housing is weatherproof, heated to prevent lens fogging in cold conditions, and treated with a hydrophobic coating on the lens surfaces to maintain visibility in rain. Night vision capability is provided by a near-infrared illuminator array integrated into the camera housing that activates automatically below a light threshold, ensuring the operator can see the driver clearly at 3am on a poorly lit stretch of turnpike without asking them to turn on their dome light.
