Fujifilm Business Innovation spatial sensing development

Overview

Fujifilm Business Innovation has developed a new spatial sensing technology utilizing its proprietary ‘Smart Addressable VCSEL’ laser light source. This technology uses distance data rather than camera imagery to identify the position, movement, and direction of people and objects, offering advantages in privacy preservation and reduced communication processing loads.

Following its initial development, the company has expanded the applications for this technology. It is currently integrated into the Apeos C7072 series multifunction printers via a ‘Smart WelcomEyes’ sensor for power-saving modes. Further demonstrations at CEATEC 2026 showcased potential uses such as collision avoidance sensors for warehouses and non-contact air user interfaces for hygienic environments in medical or food production facilities.
