Giveaway Week 2024 – Orbbec Femto mega 3D depth and 4K RGB camera

The second prize of Giveaway Week 2024 is the Orbbec Femto Mega 3D depth and 4K RGB camera powered by an NVIDIA Jetson Nano module and featuring Microsoft ToF technology found in Hololens and Azure Kinect DevKit.

The camera connects to Windows or Linux host computers through USB or Ethernet and is supported by the Orbbec SDK with the NVIDIA Jetson Nano running depth vision algorithms to convert raw data to precise depth images.

I first reviewed the Orbbec Femto Mega using the Orbbec Viewer for a quick test connected to an Ubuntu laptop (as shown above) before switching to a more complex demo using the Orbbec SDK for body tracking in Windows 11.

Although it was satisfying once it worked, I struggled quite a lot to run the body tracking demo in Windows 11, so there’s a learning curve, and after you have this working, you’d still need to integrate it into your own application. But it’s quite a powerful tool compatible with Microsoft’s Azure Kinect.

The giveaway includes the 3D depth camera, a USB-C cable, and a power adapter.

To enter the draw simply leave a comment with your country and whatever else you’d like to say (no links in the body of the comment). If the country is missing, I’ll consider the entry void. Other rules are as follows:

• Only one entry per contest. I will filter out entries with the same IP and/or email address.
• Contests are open for 48 hours starting at 10 a.m. (Bangkok time) every day.
• Comments will be closed after 48 hours. If comments are open, the contest is still going on.
• Winners will be selected with random.org and announced in the comments section of each giveaway.
• I’ll contact the winner by email, and I’ll expect an answer within 24 hours, or I’ll pick another winner. Note that I may not be able to contact people who log in with Facebook, Twitter, or Google, so it’s better to use an email address to enter the draw.
• Shipping
  • $32 for registered airmail small packet or ePacket for overseas shipping payable via PayPal within 48 hours once the contest (for a given product) is complete. If PayPal is not an option in your country, we can try to find another payment solution.
  • All prizes will be shipped at the same time once we get all the winners, so around November 14.
• I’ll make sure we have 7 different winners, so if you have already won a device during this giveaway week, I’ll draw another person.

If you don’t end up being the lucky winner of this giveaway but are still interested in the Femto Mega, you can purchase the 3D depth and 4K RGB camera for $695 on the Orbbec store.
