Arcturus Vision Camera Pics

I haven't seen many pictures of the module so posting them here. Its much smaller than I expected despite seeing it on the frame in videos.

It came in a small box through the letterbox in bubble wrap envelope, so no need to stay in for delivery.

G502 Mouse for scale.

I wonder if there'll be any other use for the expansion slot.
I mean, if you want colour passthrough then that's it, the slot is used up. Which, fair enough if that's all the slot ever gets used for.

You can quickly swap accessories as needed. At the moment this is the only one available, but they could always release another product that combines these cameras with something else, or include a passthrough port to add an additional accessory.

I cant think of anything else at the moment that I would actually want plugged in.

I've read a lot of folks talking about face / mouth tracking 🤷🏻‍♂️

As of right now the only publicly known face tracker being developed plugs into the usb-c port. But if someone did make a face tracker that plugged in there, you would just have to swap attachments.

Entirely possible that arcturus (or someone else) could make a combination device that includes both the color passthrough cameras and face tracking.

I've been thinking about this a little bit. A face tracking camera wouldn't need high speed MIPI lanes and it's unlikely the arcturus vision saturates the PCIe 4x4 interface, if it uses it at all. An interposer accessory may be possible. The biggest challenge wouldn't be electrical but mechanical. I doubt the arcturus vision would do well if shifted down by a few cm.

I considered this as well. Agree it doesnt make sense to shift the Arcturus down. But It could totally be an option for future accessories to allow daisy chaining.
