3D camera

Records spatial dimensions

A 3D camera captures images or video with depth information, creating content that appears three-dimensional.

Some use dual lenses to mimic human binocular vision for stereoscopic display.

Others use sensors to map spatial data for augmented reality, facial recognition, or motion capture: The 3D camera scanned the room to create a virtual model.
