This is a Rev8 OS1 Max driving through an active work zone, capturing every sign, cone, and worker in native color with depth resolved at the silicon level.

With road work, lane lines deviate, signs change, and workers may stand in spaces that, a day earlier, were drivable lanes. Every cue that tells an autonomous system the rules have temporarily changed is encoded in colorful temporary signage or subtly in the environment itself.
Until Rev8, capturing that color information required a camera stream that had to be calibrated, in real time, against a separate lidar.

Hey San Francisco!
Join us May 27th for a deep dive into Ouster's new REV8 sensors. We’re taking over a brewery in the Mission District for a technical exploration into our latest hardware, featuring a short overview on REV8, live demos, and an open Q&A with the engineering team.
Come for the sensors, stay for the craft beer and community. Invite link in the thread 🍻

With Rev8, color is perceived in the right place, at the right distance, at the right moment. Ouster L4 silicon captures color and depth in the same photon event, with Fujifilm color science embedded directly on the chip.
This is a Rev8 OS1 Max driving the Embarcadero in San Francisco. Every traffic signal, brake light, and bike lane resolved in 48-bit native color, perfectly aligned with depth at the silicon level.

A tunnel exit takes a camera from ~1 lux to ~100,000 lux in under a second. Auto-exposure can't keep up, highlights blow out, and the first frames after the exit are unusable
This is a Rev8 OS1 Max capturing the Yosemite Wawona Tunnel exit. 116 dB of dynamic range, hardware HDR, and color captured in the same photon event as depth, so every point holds its color through six orders of magnitude of lighting change

@sinanisler @ousterlidar Well I think data collection and inference are done from the car, which makes sense. I’m just saying that this render here is from an artificially high view point (well above the car).
English

Today’s AV stacks infer traffic signal and brake light state from camera pixels, then try to align them to lidar geometry. Layers between sensing and decision.
Humans see color and depth together because they arrive together. Rev8 does the same: 48-bit RGB + 3D depth, same photon, same silicon, already aligned.
English

There's some confusion about occlusion and "shadows" in the comments. You can observe 3D data from any viewing angle, and at any viewing angle other than the exact origin point, you will see occlusions - shadows created by objects blocking what's behind them.
The first video is exactly what a camera sees (occlusions and all), it's just novel for many to see the occlusions so clearly. Here's the first person view of the same drive, perspective from the origin like you'd get from a camera:

Ouster CEO Angus Pacala spoke to @SchwabNetwork this morning about our record quarterly results and the future of Physical AI, powered by our unified platform of new REV8 native color lidar sensors and @Stereolabs3D cameras.
"We're firing on all cylinders... we're in the earliest innings here, which is just another strong promise for Ouster's future growth for years to come."

REV8 is more than just a 3D depth sensor - it delivers uncompromising industrial-grade imaging.
We're proud to announce our work with @DXOMARK, the leader in image quality testing and benchmarking, to maximize the performance of the world's first native color lidar.
