Intel is set to spin off its RealSense depth camera business by mid-2025, the company confirmed in an interview with The Robot Report. The new venture will remain part of Intel's Capital portfolio and maintain its existing product lineup, roadmap, and customer support. This decision is said to be a strategic move to enhance RealSense's growth potential, not a reaction to Intel's financial challenges, according to the report.
"After 10 years of incubation, Intel is unleashing the potential of the Intel RealSense computer vision-AI portfolio in a standalone [Intel Capital] portfolio company by the first half of 2025," Intel said, in a statement published by The Robot Report. "We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition for our customers and continue to provide support throughout the process."
