That's cool, where did you see this?

> Similarly you can train a neural network to separate the speaker on a video call from the background, so you just don't need a depth camera. These still look so fake, and they tend to blur out objects that you're trying to hold up in the video, that I actually created my own virtual camera that blurs progressively more over depths based on RealSense measured depth and looks far more realistic. https://github.com/dh…
They're not that good but people will tolerate poor quality.
People maybe but not the industry.

I don't understand at all how you got downvoted for posting this. Thanks for the tip, cheers!

#65Shameless self promotion, I'm a co-founder of Chronoptics and we design bespoke iToF depth cameras, have been thinking we should release a module to fill up the gap in the market caused by Intel's move.

#66Incoming hearsay, but I've heard conflicting things from RealSense integrators on what Intel is actually doing with this product over the longer term. Someone mentioned that ongoing R&D is being shuttered, but the depth camera product would still be available for purchase for a while. It would be nice to get some more clarity on what's actually happening.
Makes sense, if you have a product where you can make a profit on the manufacturing, why would you stop supply. Intel never broke out Realsense in any public finical data, I wonder if the R&D was not profitable, and is not a core part of Intel's business so the new CEO decided to shut it down.
Re: Best RealSense replacements?
#67Your best bet is probably to order cheap IR or color industrial cameras and use stereo block matching. It's implemented in OpenCV and works okay-ish. For example, Basler dart USB3 cameras can be synchronized through the IO expension port. That said, maybe it's time for someone to produce a good replacement. In my opinion, the RealSense was always quite pricey when compared with what it could do, especially now that w…
There are plenty of other 3D depth cameras out there, just not with the brand recognition of Intel, and now the quick and easy purchase of one unit at $200USD.

This is true. We have had feedback from Framos ( A big client of the Realsense) saying basically that)

Not quite. It's like instead of buying a car, you buy wheels and a frame and do a car mechanic training. With a bit of effort and skill, you'll end up with a car, but it won't look like a factory-produced car.
There is no universe where what you described ends up being similar to an integrated product with a dedicated ASIC. What you are saying is a stab in the dark that isn't backed up by real results.
Quite a lot of hobbyists are going that route instead of purchasing a RealSense camera:

Also, I believe Amazon went that way when designing their DeepRacer. Note that it has no IR projector but 2 Cameras and a commodity PC for processing.
