##Introduction
This WIKI describes the ROS interface to the Visual-Inertial (VI-) Sensor developed by Skybotix and the [Autonomous Systems Lab (ASL), ETH Zurich] (http://www.asl.ethz.ch/). This sensor provides fully time-synchronized and factory calibrated IMU- and stereo-camera data streams. A detailed spec sheet of the sensor can be found here.
