Use to work on the Kinect so have some knowledge around it - not really. The lenses and power requirements to do more than a couple feet away would be huge. Though I'm sure they'll eventually get it.
- cma 9y agoFrom cursory reading, laser illuminators can be ~50X more efficient than the IR LEDs in Kinectv2 (though v1, ehich they compare it to, used IR lasers too, and didn't need active cooling like v2, it can also spread the illumination over a longer exposure than is required for v2's time-of-flight) and illuminate a much more narrow band which allows you to use a more selective filter, so you have less background IR to overcome. It still may be only good to a few feet out in direct sunlight, I don't know.
- convolvatron 9y agohaving a phone-based ruler with a couple foot range would be pretty handy. if you took a lot of samples as the phone bobbed around, how good a resolution do you think one could get?
