RealSense technology feature 3D cameras that include three
lenses, a 2D Camera for regular photos and videos, and an infrared camera/laser
projector. The infrared part of the camera is use to see distance between
objects. The infrared part also separates objects from the background layers so
that there is better facial and gesture recognition. These cameras also feature
front-facing, rear-facing and snapshot.
So, what does this mean for images, gesture control, video,
scanning 3D images and collaborating?
RealSense is great at scanning faces and turning them into
something else. There is an app called FaceShift that will scan and replace
your real face with an avatar during a video chat. The app mimics all facial
gestures. However, if you stick your tongue out, it will not detect this since
it doesn’t scan the inside of your mouth.
Intel has also come out with a prototype tablet that can
scan people’s torsos and then 3D print them on a crystal paperweight! See the
picture below.
Another app named Personify, will automatically remove the
background and replace it with a graphic or a white space. RealSense depth-sensors
help with this feature.
The RealSense Snapshot camera adds depth information to any
photo that it takes. For example, you can take a picture and measure the
distance between two points by drawing a line with your finger. The software
will also tell you the radius of objects in the picture. There are also
features of photo layer editing and focusing.
RealSense has completely transformed the way we use cameras.
This software is historical in a way because we are able to use technology more
intimately now than we ever were in the past.
