This component array features a variety of sensors, including
an IR depth camera and a projector that shoots out 30,000 infrared dots in order to map the user's face.
Not exact matches
The three main hardware components are off - the - shelf: a visible - light
camera, a multi-array microphone and an infrared
depth sensor that sprays your room with hundreds of
IR dots.
On the back is 16MP RGB
camera coupled with dedicated motion Fish - eye lens tracking and
IR Beamer
depth camera.
Camera can not only take picture but measure distance of objects and can change metrics as well.
The
camera also features hybrid auto - focus that combines contrast, phase detection, and
IR laser assist focus for better focus with
depth tracking.
Unlike a single
camera that can not sense
depth, or even a dual
camera system that might be able to sense simple
depth for photos, the TriCam system on the back of the ZenFone AR sports a motion sensor and a dedicated
depth (infrared /
IR)
camera.
One is a lower - quality
depth - sensing
camera with
IR, the other used to track motion.
On the iPhone X, Apple has implemented it in two distinct ways: On the front of the iPhone X, the TrueDepth's various
IR and dot sensors help measure
depth, while the dual - lens rear
camera system estimates
depth by using the two lenses and machine learning.
While there is only a single
camera on the front, Apple calls it True
Depth and it uses various IR and dot sensors to measure depth for pretty impressive portrait sel

depth for pretty impressive portrait selfies.
The motion tracking
camera assists in tracking a user's position in three - dimensional space, and the
depth sensing
camera measures the distance between objects through an
IR emitter.
The one eyesore is the Tango hardware slapped on the upper half of the back of the phone, a metal plate where all of the
camera and
IR and
depth sensors live.
Tango used custom hardware such as RGB
cameras, fisheye motion tracking
cameras,
IR depth sensors, accelerometers, etc. to see in full 3D.
The answer I got was that the TrueDepth
camera system captures a crude
depth mask with the
IR system and then, in part using the Neural Engine Block on the A11 Bionic processor, persistently tracks and matches facial movement and expressions with the RGB
camera.
Animoji uses the
IR system on the iPhone X TrueDepth
camera system to periodically update a
depth map but it uses the RGB
camera constantly to track and match facial movement and expressions.
The use of
IR sensors will allow the
camera to track
depth and other metrics that should help with the AR features on the device.
Other features of the
camera are include 0.03 sec Ultrafast TriTech autofocus, Colour correction (RGB) sensor, Blue Glass
IR Filter, Dual - LED real tone flash, Manual Mode (for DSLR - like
camera detail settings), Super Resolution Mode (for up to 4X resolution photos), Night Mode,
Depth of Field Mode, Photo Effect Mode, Selfie Panorama, GIF Animation Mode.

Currently available at Google Play, Constructor uses the rear - mounted
depth, motion and
IR cameras on Tango - enabled phones to scan and render a precise 3D mesh of a room.
