3D depth camera

Advanced imaging systems that capture spatial coordinates and volumetric data in real time using infrared light and specialized sensors.

These devices calculate the precise distance to every object in a scene to create high-resolution 3D point clouds. Industry standards like Intel RealSense and Sony DepthSense utilize Time-of-Flight (ToF) or structured light to achieve millimeter-level accuracy. Apple uses this tech for FaceID (mapping 30,000 infrared dots) while industrial robots use it to navigate complex factory floors. By processing depth at 60+ frames per second, these cameras provide the spatial intelligence required for autonomous navigation, gesture control, and augmented reality.
