Here at Living Optics we are developing a pioneering hyperspectral imaging camera for the mass market. Our VIS-NIR snapshot HSI camera enables researchers and computer vision developers to capture data in real time at video frame rates and access information invisible to human eyes and/or conventional cameras. Our unique approach to hyperspectral imaging combines patented optical methods, built-from-scratch neural networks, and a small dose of pure maths. We’re well on our way to radically democratise and miniaturise hyperspectral systems, which have long been confined to research labs. Since being spun out from the Physics department of the University of Oxford in 2020, we have been developing the complex engineering and software applications ahead of our product launch in 2023. In September 2022 we announced our Series A £20m investment from https://oxfordscienceenterprises.com/, https://www.foresightwilliams.co.uk/, https://www.oxfordinvestmentconsultants.com/ and https://octopusventures.com/. We have a remote friendly, global team. At Living optics, we are fiercely proud of our talented workforce, whose creativity, tenacity and skills have enabled us to evolve into a successful, well-funded and rapidly growing company in just a few years. We strive to be an outstanding place to work – by maintaining a positive and inclusive culture, offering competitive salaries and benefits, encouraging ongoing training and development, plus, of course, plenty of other perks.
