Phones with multiple camera are starting to become common. Time of flight sensors that use projected infrared patterns aren't trivial to out in a phone so the demand needs to be there. Still, there have been tablets that have integrated Intel's depth cameras.
- taneq 7y agoNit: Projected patterns are structured light, not time-of-flight. As far as I’m aware (would love to be wrong!) you can’t do ToF with a traditional CCD or CMOS sensor and resolution is invariably woeful.
- VikingCoder 7y agoWhat kind of sensors do they use in time-of-flight? Because I think they do use gated CCD or CMOS...?
- taneq 7y agoHm, last time I checked I thought the sensors were individual diodes but it looks like you're right, and 'flash LIDAR' cameras do use some funky kind of CCD. Still relatively low resolution but good to know, thanks!
