AXIOM Gamma

    Latest News Overview Tech Specs Modularity Partners




About

The AXIOM Gamma is the AXIOM Betas big brother and packs more performance and modularity in a larger and more expensive package. The AXIOM Gamma is planned to utilize a fully modular hardware concept (the "Open Module Concept") that allows swapping of all essential camera components like changing PCIe cards in your PC. But since this modularity also includes the enclosure there is no single way the AXIOM Gamma can look like, below you see different stages and design studies that show different concepts.

Funding

The AXIOM development consortium has received a Horizon2020 ICT grant from the European Union funding the entire development up to a "pilot" production of the AXIOM Gamma. This grant runs from spring 2015 to summer 2016. The AXIOM Gamma is currently estimated to be available to end user in Q4 2016 at the earliest. We might run a crowd funding campaign to cover starting production around that time.

The Extended AXIOM Gamma Open Module Concept

Submitted 9 years 3 weeks ago by Sebastian.
The Extended Extension In our first post about the Axiom Open Module Concept (made in Fall 2013), we proposed a solution explaining how different modules could be combined behind the camera head to form a wide range of camera hardware compounds. Now we have prepared an extension to this concept, dealing with the same issue surrounding the components in front of the camera head. Here, it's not so much about allowing for new combinations but rather to allow for easy access to these parts and for... » Read more

The AXIOM Gamma Open Module Concept

Submitted 9 years 4 months ago by Sebastian.
Introduction With our effort to build a feature reduced Axiom camera prototype (Axiom Alpha) nearing completion , we're testing variations of our concept and designs for the full Axiom camera system. Whilst the official announcement for the Axiom camera occurred back in July 2012, the world has since changed: New technologies are now available, with prior hardware difficulties and bottlenecks now much easier to overcome. In the last twelve months, the apertus° team has also grown and evolved-... » Read more

EU Horizon 2020 Partnerships

Submitted 8 years 10 months ago by Sebastian.
When applying for an EU Horizon 2020 call , a project needs to find partners - at least three parties from three different EU member states are required to apply together. We have now found 2 partners to accompany us and we'd like to briefly introduce them. Whilst we are still in negotiations for additional partnerships, we're glad to see that the essential requirements for an EU Horizon 2020 call are now fulfilled. DENZ - Präzisionsentwicklung DENZ is a Munich based company (founded in 1971),... » Read more

apertus° decides: open or closed source for AXIOM

Submitted 9 years 13 hours ago by Sebastian.
What does "open" mean? There has been an ongoing community discussion around the level of openness to which apertus° will be willing/able to go with the Axiom. This discussion has lasted for several years up to now. On our website (See: “Why Open Source?” ), we have detailed the problems that openness can introduce with proprietary interfaces. In most cases, developers are forced to sign binding non-disclosure-agreements (NDA) before any technical documentation may be acquired. With this in... » Read more

Think big apertus°

Submitted 9 years 1 week ago by Sebastian.
The European Union has just launched a massive initiative to support sustainable innovation throughout the next 7 years, working with the tremendous total sum of close to 80 Billion Euros (no, that's not a typo). The goal is to enable open scientific research, leading to innovative new products that tackle the social challenges we are facing today. Can you already see where this is going and why we're posting about it here? If you've been following our twitter activity recently, you might have... » Read more

AXIOM Gamma Camera Concept Update

Submitted 9 years 1 month ago by Sebastian.
Romance with the Big Camera Looking at this "behind the scenes" image from Romance on the High Seas , one wonders how people managed to create entire feature films whilst working under the limitations imposed by professional cinema technology in the 1940's and 1950's. Today we are used to carrying around greater processing power in our pockets than the fastest supercomputer (the Cray 1 from 1979) was capable of more than 30 years ago. Times have changed dramatically! Behind the scenes on "... » Read more
