Perceptual Computing Infrastructure

The sensing layer
machines were missing.

SpectralSense delivers calibrated spectral data APIs, embedded SDKs, and real-time material intelligence — built for developers and researchers who build with light.

REST + WebSocket API
On-device inference, no cloud

Spectral intelligence as a service layer.

SpectralSense exposes ColorSense's hardware and perceptual compute stack through clean APIs. Plug calibrated light sensing into your product, pipeline, or research workflow without building the physics from scratch.


Every result includes dominant color, luminance, fiber indicators, NIR reflectance, and confidence — structured data your systems can act on immediately.

Spectral channels 415–910nm + NIR
Calibration modes dark, white, ambient
Color model CIE + perceptual blend
Scan latency < 200ms
Output JSON — color, lum, NIR, conf
Interface REST, WebSocket, Python SDK
Deployment edge (Pi, Jetson) or cloud
Auth API key, HMAC optional

One call. Full spectral context.

POST a scan trigger, get back a structured result with color name, hex, luminance, NIR reflectance, and fiber classification — all in one round trip. No raw ADC wrangling. No signal processing. Just data.


WebSocket streaming available for live ambient monitoring, color hold detection, and continuous scan loops.

Where SpectralSense fits.

Any workflow where material identity, color accuracy, or surface properties need to be known — without human judgment in the loop.

01

Textile & Apparel QC

Verify dye lot consistency, detect off-color garments, and flag fiber anomalies on the production line — automatically, at speed.

02

Accessibility Devices

Power the next generation of assistive color tools. SpectralSense is the sensor stack behind CUE — the voice-guided color assistant for low-vision users.

03

Retail Intelligence

Automate inventory color tagging, match customer items to catalog SKUs, and reduce return rates from color mismatch.

04

Research & Lab

Integrate calibrated spectral measurements into research pipelines. Reproducible, timestamped, structured — no custom hardware drivers required.

05

Robotics & Vision

Add material-aware sensing to robotic pick-and-place, agricultural sorting, or autonomous inspection systems where RGB cameras fall short.

06

Smart Environments

Continuously monitor ambient light, surface conditions, and material states in smart building, retail, or industrial IoT deployments.

ColorSense Platform

Perceptual computing.
Sense first. Think second.

SpectralSense is one layer of the ColorSense perceptual computing stack — infrastructure for machines that need to understand the physical world through light, sound, and touch.
