Apple patent shows they are developing "Killer" 3D Camera

This is not thefirst time that Applepatent shows they have interest on3D camera technology.In November lastyear, one Apple patentshows that Apple is developing advanced three-dimensionalobject recognition and verification technology.According to PatentlyApple report (March 30,2012) one patent released this weekshows that Appleis developing a 3D camera technology for the future iOS devices. This 3Dcamera is described as an advanced component withadvanced micro-lens, depth, chromaand brightness sensor.This camera will be able to identify facial expressions, gestures,by adjusting the settings it can produce three-dimensional modelof the scannedobject.



Apple's patent describes the currentthree-dimensional imaging devicecan not accessto details and accurate collection of datafrom the three-dimensionalobjects. Apple's proposed solution is to use multiple3D cameras, Apple saidthe "killer" 3D camera can be fitted withdigital cameras, personal computers, PDAs,mobile phones and other devicesthat can handle image data.



For ordinary consumers, the patent meansthat we can use iOS devices for accurate face andgesture recognition, canalso establish the three-dimensional modelof the objectthrough the camera. Whenthe rotation of objects, this new 3-D camera canobtain detailed objects data and create amodel. With this function, we simply need to hold our iPhone at home shootingaround, the three-dimensionallayout of our home will be presented to us in digital form.
