Dell's Venue 8 7000 Tablet With RealSense Depth-Mapping
Dell's Venue 8 7000 tablet will be the first device to feature Intel's RealSense depth-mapping functionality. Or, it will be one of the first, if Michael Dell can realize that he has a cool product on his hands, and actually release it in a timely manner.
An aluminum unibody shell and an OLED display both contribute to the Venue 8's thinness as well as its overall appeal. The 8.4-inch display promises to be a particular highlight, as it comes with a Quad HD (2,560 x 1,600) resolution that should make for superbly crisp and beautiful images.
Take a look at this demonstration video, that shows off the cool image processing that allows the user to focus on any part of a photograph.
Employing no less than three cameras on the tablet's back, Intel's photo technology allows for post-capture refocusing and other fun stuff made possible by having depth information — such as precise space measurements and selective color exclusion based on distance from the camera.
