About MagikEye.

The Eyes of AI. Delivered.

At Magik Eye, we envision a future heralding great promise for products that can truly see and think. From Consumer AI and Robotics to Mixed Reality headsets, we believe that 3D depth sensing is a fundamental technology for the Intelligence Age ahead.  Our backgrounds in computer vision and optics have allowed us to invent new solutions that break cost and power barriers critical to making intelligent vision pervasive.

What was inspired by a Computer Vision entrepreneur, an MIT Professor and an Optics expert has brought us to a place now where our vision to become the “Eyes of AI” can be realized.

Our mission is simple: deliver real-time 3D vision for intelligent devices, enabling new possibilities in robotics, automotive, and AI perception.  By making depth sensing simple, compact, and efficient, MagikEye enables a future where every intelligent machine can truly see the world in 3D.

We’re expanding our global team of engineers and innovators – join us in shaping the future of visual intelligence.

MagikEye holds a portfolio of over 50 patents worldwide and continues to advance the frontiers of optical and mathematical innovation.
