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

This is not the first time that Apple patent shows they have interest on 3D camera technology. In November last year, one Apple patent shows that Apple is developing advanced three-dimensional object recognition and verification technology. According to PatentlyApple report (March 30,2012) one patent released this week shows that Apple is developing a 3D camera technology for the future iOS devices. This 3D camera is described as an advanced component with advanced micro-lens, depth, chroma and brightness sensor. This camera will be able to identify facial expressions, gestures, by adjusting the settings it can produce three-dimensional model of the scanned object.



Apple's patent describes the current three-dimensional imaging device can not access to details and accurate collection of data from the three-dimensional objects. Apple's proposed solution is to use multiple 3D cameras, Apple said the "killer" 3D camera can be fitted with digital cameras, personal computers, PDAs, mobile phones and other devices that can handle image data.



For ordinary consumers, the patent means that we can use iOS devices for accurate face and gesture recognition, can also establish the three-dimensional model of the object through the camera. When the rotation of objects, this new 3-D camera can obtain detailed objects data and create a model. With this function, we simply need to hold our iPhone at home shooting around, the three-dimensional layout of our home will be presented to us in digital form.
