Thinking about this, why can’t the SE’s software work out depth-perception by using Live Photo-type tech - we all move a little bit while taking photos, so comparing frames would give you depth info. Tripod shots excepted.
- Traster 7y agoProbably because the first thing that would happen is a vlog from MKBHD saying that it doesn't work whilst mounted on his $17000 tripod and gimbal setup. In all seriousness though, you can do a to imitate two cameras with one, but this is designed to be a differentiating feature, the iPhone SE is designed to have a worse camera. Why would you spend time focusing on features exclusive to the camera that you've already decided shouldn't be that good.
- Angostura 7y agoBecause it sounds as if they already focussing on those kind of features.
- sandofsky 7y agoIt's (comparatively) easier to calculate depth data if you have the precise distances between the two cameras. Apple knows these values, down to the millimeter. Calculating the camera extrinsics based on two arbitrary photos has to be way harder. Maybe they got that far, and decided the results weren't as good as a neural network.
