OKAO® Vision Shipments
In 1995, Omron began development on our proprietary OKAO® Vision image sensing
technology. This technology uses facial recognition to detect detailed changes in expression
and mannerisms to estimate the gender and age of a person. As IoT connects all manner of
objects through networks, we will begin to use this technology to create new social needs.

Simple Image Sensors Anyone Can Use
In September 2015, Omron introduced a
consumer product using network camera sensors*1
equipped with OKAO® Vision. This marked the
advent of user-friendly image sensors—technology
that used to require a high level of skill and
knowledge to operate.
　Now, families can use this product to remotely
monitor children, grandparents, pets, and more.
Businesses can use this technology in marketing,
hospitals, nursing care, and even simple security
applications.
Open Innovation
Developers who have purchased this product for
personal or commercial use have free access to
the Sensing Egg Project*2, Omron’
s open
innovation website. This platform offers a variety of
information necessary for application development.
User needs are becoming more varied and diverse.
As manufacturers shift to developing applications
and systems from the user’
s perspective, we will
see an amazing leap forward in the potential for
new uses of image sensors.
