The OAK-D S2 is the series 2 of the OAK-D. The main difference is that OAK-D S2 has a smaller enclosure and is therefore lighter. OAK-D S2 also doesn’t have a barrel jack for supplying power, so it only has a USB-C connector for both power and communication. It combines an IMX378 color camera with a stereo pair of OV9282 cameras to provide all-in-one computer vision, stereo depth, and AI modeling. Both the Fixed-Focus and Auto-Focus variants have fixed-focus grayscale stereo cameras. The Auto-Focus vs. Fixed-Focus variants of OAK-D-Lite differ only in the 12.3 MP color camera. Fixed-Focus has the lens fixed in place mechanically and cannot move, whereas Auto-Focus has an electromagnet that controls the lens position dynamically. Auto-Focus can focus on objects dynamically, which is mainly useful for objects within 50cm of the device.
