About this report
Living Optics is an Oxford-born deep-tech venture turning cutting-edge physics into powerful new vision systems. Its flagship innovation – a video-rate hyperspectral camera – can capture rich spectral data in every frame, revealing details and hidden targets that standard cameras miss.
Originally devised to meet the demands of laser fusion experiments in a university lab, this technology is now poised to transform reconnaissance and surveillance. Security forces and industry alike are testing how Living Optics’ compact device can detect camouflaged threats, trace chemical residues, and unlock insights from the invisible spectrum.
Key questions this report answers
- How does Living Optics' video-rate computational hyperspectral camera capture spectral data in every frame to reveal hidden targets?
- What is the readiness of this Oxford-born device and its fit with European reconnaissance and surveillance needs?
- Which security and industry customers/partners are testing it for camouflage detection and chemical-residue tracing?
- What capability gaps and dependencies constrain scaling compact hyperspectral imaging for defence?
