Back at Computex in June 2013, PMD Technologies revealed the Pico S, which was already pretty small.
Now, though, they have a new one, which Engadget got to take a look at just before the Consumer Electronics Show ended (CES 2014).
The device measures 39.5 x 15.5 x 4 mm / 1.55 x 0.61 x 0.15 inches. That's right, it’s just 4 mm / 0.15 inches thick.
All in all, the Pico XS is half as long as the original device, and 1.5 mm thinner (0.05 inches) than the Pico S, but works just as well despite the smaller lens.
Consumers can't use it, however, because it uses MIPI (Mobile Industry Processor Interface) instead of USB. OEMs will love it though.
