Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Orbbec Gemini 215 and what is it designed for?

The Gemini 215 is a member of Orbbec’s Gemini stereo vision series designed specifically for high-precision, short-range, detailed 3D scanning, such as body part and object scanning. Powered by Orbbec’s custom MX6600 ASIC and a high-performance optical system, it excels at short-range indoor scanning and delivers accurate, real-time depth images with fine detail. It uses active stereo technology, which enables reliable indoor scanning even on textureless surfaces.

What accuracy and resolution does the Gemini 215 provide?

The Gemini 215 captures depth data with a spatial precision of 0.5mm or better at 300mm and 1.5mm or better at 600mm, and it achieves a minimum point cloud resolution of 0.16mm at 0.15m. Depth resolution reaches up to 1280×800 at 30fps and RGB up to 1920×1080 at 30fps. This high level of detail supports accurate 3D model reconstruction.

What is the working distance of the Gemini 215?

The Gemini 215 operates at short range from 0.15 to 0.70m, with an ideal range of 0.2 to 0.5m. It offers a Close-Up Precision Mode covering 0.15 to 0.30m and an Extended Distance Mode covering 0.20 to 0.70m, so it can be tuned to the scanning task. Real-time processing up to 1280×800 at 30fps enables smooth capture without motion blur or lag.

Is the Gemini 215 safe for scanning people?

Yes. The Gemini 215 uses a Class 1 laser, which is safe for the eyes, and scanning is imperceptible during use. This makes it appropriate for close-range scanning of human body parts such as the face, feet, hands, and head, in addition to objects such as sculptures and other artistic pieces.

How does the Gemini 215 connect and what are its physical characteristics?

The Gemini 215 connects over USB 3.0 and USB 2.0, with USB Type-C power input. Average power consumption is under 2.5W with a maximum under 7.0W. On-chip depth processing reduces latency and removes the need for external computing power. The camera measures 120mm x 26mm x 30mm with a 75mm baseline, weighs about 105g, includes an IMU, and outputs point cloud, depth, IR, and RGB data.

What software and synchronization does the Gemini 215 support?

The Gemini 215 is supported by the open-source Orbbec SDK v2, which runs on Windows and Linux for fast, flexible, and scalable development. It supports multi-device synchronization to expand the field of view for larger scanning setups. Its operating environment is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius for indoor use.

How is the Gemini 215 different from Orbbec's Gemini 330 series cameras?

The Gemini 215 is a short-range, high-precision scanner built on the MX6600 ASIC for detailed body and object scanning at distances up to 0.70m, with sub-millimeter accuracy and indoor-only operation. The Gemini 330 series cameras, by contrast, are built on the MX6800 ASIC for longer-range robotics perception in indoor and outdoor environments. Choose the Gemini 215 when fine detail at close range is the priority.
