The next generation of PrimeSense‘s 3D sensor (used inside the Microsoft Kinect), called Capri, will revolutionize vision for very cheap and very expensive robots, IEEE Spectrum reports.
Capri is also small enough that it’ll be able to fit into tablets (and eventually smartphones).
The first engineering samples of Capri are expected to ship in 2-3 months, with consumer kits ready to go by the end of the year.
