What is a "time-of-flight camera"?
A time-of-flight camera measures the distance to objects by emitting light pulses and recording the time it takes for the light to return after reflecting off surfaces. This technology calculates the distance based on the speed of light and creates a 3D map of the scene. Time-of-flight cameras are used in applications such as 3D scanning, gesture recognition, and depth sensing in photography and video, providing detailed information about the layout of a scene.
