It really seems like we should be close to having robots that can navigate a room.
I do photogrammetry as a hobby, and would love to see more RGBD cameras on the market. I've even considered hacking together my own... anyone have pointers for cost-conscious options? A few of the models I've shrunk down and posted: https://sketchfab.com/darkphibre
The new Azure Kinect is really impressive. I've used the og Kinect, Kinect v2, and intel realsense d435 and it was much more accurate then all of those.

Phones with multiple camera are starting to become common. Time of flight sensors that use projected infrared patterns aren't trivial to out in a phone so the demand needs to be there. Still, there have been tablets that have integrated Intel's depth cameras.
Nit: Projected patterns are structured light, not time-of-flight. As far as I’m aware (would love to be wrong!) you can’t do ToF with a traditional CCD or CMOS sensor and resolution is invariably woeful.
I hope the researchers are advocating for its ethical use.

What kind of sensors do they use in time-of-flight? Because I think they do use gated CCD or CMOS...?
Kinda boggles my mind that there hasn't been a stronger push for hardware support of 3D imaging in phones. It clearly provides more useful information for analysis. Even when we look at an image in a photo we map it to a 3D projection in our mind.

Sorry for derailing the thread, but how was the new Azure Kinect's performance outdoors? I've had trouble finding this information anywhere.
