Israeli startup Mantis Vision is working with camera module firm Namuga to integrate its 3D sensing software into a camera module for the Samsung Galaxy S10, according to a report from The Bell via The Investor.
Mantis Vision was established in 2005 and attracted a combined $10 million investment from Samsung and Flextronics in 2014. Its 3D mapping technology was used in Google's Project Tango.
Namuga provides camera modules for Samsung's mid-range and low-end smartphones including the Galaxy A and J. It also provides 3D sensing camera modules for Intel's RealSense AR cameras.
In January, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, a main supplier for Samsung Electronics, said it would make 3D sensing technology ready for commercialization in the first half of 2018. "The company is closely working with 3-D sensing solution developers for new growth opportunities."
Equipping its flagship smartphone with a 3D sensing camera would allow Samsung to introduce a true Face ID competitor. The Galaxy S9 will be released tomorrow in select markets, so the S10 likely won't be released for another year.
