3D Depth Cameras

A 3D depth camera captures the shape and distance of objects in its environment by measuring how far away they are from the camera. Unlike traditional cameras that only record color and appearance, depth cameras create a three-dimensional map, showing not just what objects look like, but also where they are in space. They use techniques like infrared light or structured light patterns to determine distance. This technology is used in applications like robotics, virtual reality, gesture recognition, and autonomous vehicles to enhance understanding of the surroundings.
