We need sub-millimeter level accuracy in the range of 5-6 meters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19092890.post-76676918843863428782018-06-24T12:35:53.089+03:002018-06-24T12:35:53.089+03:00Agree, 3D in AR headsets is one potential applicat...Agree, 3D in AR headsets is one potential applications. Another one is VR movies production for Oculus, Google Daydream, and MS Mixed Reality.<br /><br />Also, a 3D printing slowly becomes more reliable and affordable and eventually might ignite a demand for 3D imaging and modeling.<br /><br />LiDARs, as an extreme case of 3D camera, becomes a part of almost all autonomous vehicles and many industrial robots.

In fact Leap Motion is not even a 3D sensor, just a nice hack used to track fingers, and that not well enough in all cases.<br /><br />The 3D market is waiting for a killer application to drive it. Is FaceID it ? Meh. I don't see the big User benefit relative to fingerprint biometric. Animation of emoji's is Apple's next up to bat? Really meh. <br /><br />Smartphone AR might be helped by rear facing 3D, despite Apple and Google advances on 2D sensors being aided by motion sensing data. BUT... the range and field of view will need to be expanded well beyond what smartphone form factor depth sensors can currently achieve.<br /><br />Conclusion: 3D in phones may disappear as quickly as they went in... going to go away quickly unless the hardware evolves to greatly bring in more FoV, range, density, without killing battery or form factor.<br /><br />Yolo's analysis is suspect without discussion of market drivers for 3D in phones.<br /><br />3D in AR headwear is potentially one growth area for sensor hardware vendors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
