ZCam – 1999
ZCam is
a brand of time-of-flight camera products for video applications
by Israeli developer 3DV Systems. The ZCam
supplements full-color video camera imaging with real-time range
imaging information, allowing for the capture of video in 3D.
The original ZCam,[fn 1] released
in 2000,[4] was an ENG video camera add-on used for
digital video compositing.[5][6] Before agreeing in March 2009[7] to sell its assets to Microsoft,[8] 3DV had planned to release a ranging video webcam
(previously called the Z-Sense), also under the name ZCam.[fn 1] The ZCam webcam was one of several competing real-time range
imaging camera products in development that target home game
controller applications
I was in charge of all
software and algorithms for the camera and its application from its start at
1996 till 2004.
