so tell me again whats the purpose with having two cameras on the back of the iPhone??
Quoting my own post from another thread :
Here's some of the features the dual LinX Imaging camera could bring:
- Bokeh effects, changing the depth of field after the picture was taken.
- Much better performance in low light situations.
- Augmented Reality (AR) applications - LinX cameras provides a true pixel-precise depth map, which would greatly help virtual object placement and orientation.
- 3D photos/videos - tilt your iPhone to get some 3D parallax depth effect while watching your photos/videos. Not easily possible with traditional stereophotography which needs shape recognition to estimate a fake depth map from two 2D images, and often fails at it.
- Ability to create a 3D model of a room just by scanning it with your iPhone.
- Background removal/replacement. With a depth map, it's easy to isolate subjects from the background.
