How far do you think we are from realtime depth mapping with just rgb smartphone cameras? That feels like it’ll be the real turning point for deployment of next gen CV.

I'm not really an expert in computer vision, so its hard to tell on that timing but agree it would be a next level unlock. Its also one of those things that's a bummer that we only really have 2 phone options and Apple is unlikely to add special hardware for this until they believe in AI.

They have everything right now on Apple phones. And it’s exposed to native apps via an SDK. But I think the real unlock is when it’s possible from a single commodity rgb lens on a sub $200 device. And I think that’s still not possible. You still need a time of flight sensor.

don’t we just want the whole sensor array (lenses, et al) to hit that price point? combining elements feels unnecessary

Yeah. But I think an even better outcome would be that every rgb camera in the world suddenly becomes a depth sensor because of clever math.

assolutamente. that feels like a trailing indicator rather than a leading one imho
