3D sensors are sensors which measure depth (distance or range) to an object based on illuminating the object with a laser (light source). 3D sensor boosts camera capabilities for facial & object recognition by creating 3D maps of the users surrounding. The sensor is a combination of different sensing elements for instance ultrasound, TOF, and structured light technologies. It is particularly used in gaming, augmented reality, autonomous driving and an extensive range of applications. It is also used by engineers, artists, and architects for designing a 3D model based out of 2D data. Additionally, in robotics, the sensors help in collision avoidance & solving assembling problems. The key features are included greater reliability, cost effectiveness, and high efficiency.
