Why tof camera is more suitable for AR and VR

ToF camera can be applied not only to smart phones, but also to self-driving cars. ToF camera is applied to intelligent cockpit vision system, which greatly improves the safety and comfort of cars and the in-depth interactive experience of drivers and passengers. For example, it can effectively assist the DMS to detect the driver's head posture and position coordinate information, and greatly improve the accuracy of the driver's distraction/hazardous behavior detection. And the tof camera can make a more accurate judgment on the position of the passenger, so that in the event of an accident, the posture of the passenger's head and body can be calculated, and the corresponding angle and intensity can be controlled when the airbag is popped to achieve more effective protection, etc. Due to its robustness, high accuracy and high performance in low light, the tof camera is very suitable for AR and VR applications. The tof camera plays a cooperation role in AR/VR. First, the tof camera can quickly and accurately detect the depth information without much calculation and power consumption, which is equivalent to a relay, and directly transmits the depth information to the next link; the second is that the relevant information of the tof camera can be deeply fused with other sensors to achieve better 3D imaging effects; the third is that the tof camera and other sensors, such as RGB cameras, complement each other.
