“IF” the phone even has a depth camera though, right? RGBD, basically two lenses (or… can also just be two pin holes over the ccd, but thats not very common)
but yes, ir throw pattern over the scene in that case.
i think your right though (to be honest, ive only witnessed ARcore in action for less than 4 seconds in my life) from what i saw, it was , almost flawless motion matching objects into the scene…
(im not suprised we cant access such a camera honestly. exaclty like a kinect over the years)
but yeah, it seems like after Project tango laid out its fundementals , that was about it. really no improvements. I don’t know if i want to blame johnny lee for that, or regina dugan.
interesting tango, and lee “graduated” out from her ATAP research division in 2015. and she left less than a year later.
and thats when its growth stopped it seems
the only improvements i would predict would be ble triangulation, GPS 2.0, and 5g beam forming additions
and thats an excellent point. FRAME RATES. i need to study more aspects of that.
but it appears…
arcore, attempts to give frame rate control, but usually if forced by an app and…
certain ARCore supported devices require internal buffering to operate correctly.
then consider that its tracking points PLUS doing object detection …
and, adjusting from errors every so often . with a 24 /30 fps camera?
60fps seems like the only way.
but yeah, using opencv does allow you to control alot more regarding FPS and these functions.
i wouldnt quiet say sloppiness though, just a refusal to allow compromises .
like they wanted to be able to report the increase of the # of devices capable of running ARcore, even if they just shouldn’t .
still, without 60fps, iim sure this is hugely frustrating
(oh, i heard about some company named… apple? and arkit, are using time of flight IR depth imaging. like they’re pulsing? ir signals, and actually timing that return flight time of that pulse? very fast FPS? or just using all their lenses to share timing off sets to time that return fast enough?
oh…yeah, like the unique identifying pulses for cars with lidar.
