So we can expect more smartphones to get equipped with 3D camera technology next year. Sony showed several samples of using a custom phone with a 3D camera on its rear.
Sonys 3D sensor will use IR light to create a 3D map of the environment. The ToF sensor works by emitting infrared light, which bounces off surfaces and back to the sensor present in the phone. The sensor detects the depth of objects by measuring the differences in energy levels.
These sensors can be used in various applications and fields such as gesture recognition, object recognition and detection of obstacles.
