FAQs:
Q: Why can't you see father than 10 meters away?
A:
1. Limited camera resolution
2. Limited bandwidth over USB 2.0
3. Baseline of plane
Higher resolution cameras, and USB 3.0 will allow detection at longer distances.
Q: Why not look at multiple depths, instead of just one depth?
A:
These CPUs were maxed with just one depth, at 120 Hz
More powerful CPUs are already on the market, and will enable multiple depths.
