The USP of this Devkit is the 'RealSense' Camera ZR300 which can calculate a depth with high density (> 10 million points per second). Integrating a camera with a wide field of view (VGA with> 160 degrees FOV), and with a combination of accelerometer-gyro high precision and motion tracking characteristics, it offers the phone an advanced navigation system with highly precise synchronization.

The Devkit can also come handy for techies who like to devote their time in autonomous robotics. The ZR300 is able to stream a VGA resolution at 60 frames per second which renders Drones, and an augmented reality as support features. The low power consumption of the camera makes it useful for using it in compact devices such as mobile phones, tablets and convertibles. Even Microsoft's latest Windows 10 relies on the face recognition technique provided by the Intel RealSense ZR300, which is expected to be a worthy successor to the currently available F200 and R200.
