About Oculus Vision

Peter Church — Founder & Managing Director

Peter's route into machine vision is perhaps an unusual one. Starting out as an apprentice electrician in Cardiff, he spent five years learning his trade before funding his own degree in Control Engineering — a decision that would shape everything that followed.

After graduating, Peter worked at GE's aircraft engine repair facility in South Wales before joining Spectrum Technologies as a service and commissioning engineer. It was here that he discovered a passion for machine vision, travelling the world deploying systems across a wide range of industries and applications.

He then joined a machine vision startup — first known as V-Viz, later InterVision Global — where he progressed from Applications Engineer to Technical Director, leading a team developing and deploying vision systems across multiple sectors. During this time he witnessed the industry's transformation first hand, from analogue frame-grabber systems through to today's high-resolution digital cameras, smart cameras and deep learning tools.

That breadth of experience — practical, commercial and technical — is the foundation on which Oculus Vision is built.

Peter started Oculus Vision in January 2021, supported by a small team of experienced vision engineers, with a clear mission: to make machine vision excellence genuinely accessible to machine builders, system integrators and OEMs.

Who We Are

Oculus Vision is a specialist machine vision consultancy providing independent technical expertise to OEMs, system integrators, and machine builders delivering complex automation projects.

We support projects from early feasibility through to commissioning and production handover. Our experience spans traditional machine vision, 3D imaging, and AI-based approaches, applied where performance, reliability, and robustness matter.

How We Work

Our work is grounded in production reality. We focus on understanding constraints, trade-offs, and failure modes early, and on supporting teams through the stages of delivery where vision systems most often struggle — from specification and design through to commissioning and stabilisation.

Oculus Vision works alongside existing engineering teams, complementing in-house capability rather than replacing it. Engagements are shaped around the specific technical risks of each project, whether that involves targeted specialist input or extended support across development and commissioning phases.

We are hardware agnostic — we specify the right solution for the application, not the solution that suits a preferred supplier. We take on technical and commercial risk so our clients can focus on what matters to them.

The objective is consistent: to help teams make confident technical decisions and deploy machine vision systems that perform reliably under real operating conditions.
