Guardian Optical Technologies has developed a breakthrough patented sensor technology that encompasses 2D, 3D, and motion analysis in a single sensor.

The companys technology is designed to enable automobile manufacturers to produce safer, more convenient passenger-aware cars at a lower cost.Guardians proprietary sensor configuration combines three deep-sensing layers: 2D video, 3D video, and micromotion detection.

By utilizing these three modalities in conjunction with a high-resolution camera, Guardian is able to look beyond the driver and offer specialized safety and convenience features to all vehicle occupants.Guardian sensors can be used to replace in-seat pressure sensors, seatbelt sensors, and standard driver cameras, as the sensors can identify the location, physical dimensions, and body position of each passenger.

The technology can also be used to address the problem of babies being forgotten in vehicles, among other applications.
