Intel RealSense

Intel RealSense, formerly known as Intel Perceptual Computing, is a platform for implementing gesture-based human computer interaction  techniques. It consists of series of consumer grade 3D cameras together with an easy to use machine perception that simplifies supporting the cameras for third-party software developers.

The project can be considered a successor to microsoft kinect camera, which aims to find uses for the technologies pioneered there in the consumer market in applications beyond gaming, something which Kinect struggled with.

As of March 2015, multiple laptop and tablet computer manufactures offer one or more devices with Intel RealSense camera built in. These are Asus,HP,Dell,Lenovo,Acer.
