OAK Viewer is a GUI application that lets you quickly evaluate an OAK camera by visualizing its output in real time. It uses DepthAI V3 for connections, so any RVC2 or RVC4 device is supported over both USB and Ethernet (PoE).
The tool provides predefined pipelines (Vision 3D, Vision AI, Dynamic Calibration, Advanced), a Streams tab showing the device's streams (RGB, left/right cameras, depth, point cloud, and the output of a selected NN model from the Luxonis Models Zoo), and a Pipeline Graph tab that visualizes the active DepthAI V3 pipeline. It can run as a local application (with a bundled Chrome browser) or as the default app on an OAK4 device.
Component or overlay providing a graphical user interface for another tool or robotics stack.
A Visualization Tool is software designed for the visual representation of data originating from a robot, its sensors, the environment, or the control system — such as point clouds, occupancy maps, joint trajectories, camera feeds, or telemetry dashboards. In robotics, widely used examples include RViz (ROS), Foxglove Studio, and Webviz, which allow real-time and post-hoc inspection of sensor streams and system state.
Standalone graphical application (GUI) running locally on a workstation or laptop.
A Developer Tool is software designed to support the development workflow, including configuration, debugging, testing, monitoring, validation, and integration of robotic and embedded systems. Examples include IDE plugins, visual debuggers, log analysers, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test harnesses, and code-generation utilities specific to robotics platforms.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS 'Noble Numbat' — supported until April 2029. The host for ROS 2 Jazzy.
