Depth cameras

Depth cameras are devices that capture not just the color of objects, but also their distance from the camera. They use specialized sensors, like infrared or laser, to measure how far away each point in a scene is. This results in a 3D map of the environment, enabling applications like object detection, gesture recognition, and augmented reality. Unlike regular cameras, depth cameras provide spatial information that helps computers understand the shape and position of things in real space. They are commonly used in robotics, gaming, and security to enhance perception and interaction capabilities.
