OAKD Series 3 - release date

VirtualPierogi

Is there a estimate timeframe of when would oakd series3 be available for ordering ? Any chances for q4 ?

Hi VirtualPierogi ,
We won't release RVC3-based OAK devices due to the many shortcomings of the RVC3 chip. Currently, we only plan to release Percept and RAE RVC3-based devices. We do, however, plan to release RVC4-based OAK's (perhaps different name, but similar devices), H1 next year.

Very sad to hear that, I was looking forward to test it as vision of integrated VO was tempting. Guess will wait till rvc4 hopefully in the 2024.

Is Percept still scheduled to be released in a couple weeks? (early august)

Hi VirtualPierogi ,
We still plan to release RAE, which would have integrated VIO.
@AmmoM could you check with support@Luxonis.com?

erik How RAE could fit into XR headset use case?

VirtualPierogi it's not that compact.

erik thats why i was hoping for new OAKD with vio but yeah if the hardware is not there yet we will wait, and use proW or similar with our own software.

Is there a doc where it describes the shortcoming of RVC3 chip ?
Also Is Percept product line going to be supported for longer time. Looks like the product page is taken down as well: https://shop.luxonis.com/products/percept

Hi gotz07 ,
It's mostly the AI performance - for most models, it's slower than the RVC2, and there are more limitations on the layers/operations supported. We will be updating the Percept to have newer SOC (RVC4 instead of RVC3), but that means it will also be delayed (sometime in 2024). Thoughts?

Any details about the RVC4 to keep us hyped while waiting for the new stuff ?
