RealSense: 3D Imaging Spin-off Takes Flight

Intel's RealSense, a 14-year-old technology division, has become an independent company. RealSense specializes in stereoscopic imaging cameras. These cameras use two images and infrared light to create a 3D understanding of their surroundings. This depth perception is crucial for robots, drones, autonomous vehicles, and facial recognition systems. The technology allows machines to better "see" and interact with the physical world. By separating from Intel, RealSense aims to expand its reach and further develop its 3D imaging capabilities. The CEO highlights the technology's importance for applications requiring real-time, accurate 3D understanding of the environment.
