Samsung sensor captures image and depth information

Samsung has created a sensor capable of capturing both a standard RGB image and depth information at the same time.

The new technology could give devices Microsoft Kinect-like gesture recognition capabilities without the need for two separate sensors, allowing for the installation of the tech on much smaller devices like mobile phones.

The CMOS sensor contains rows of depth-sensing z-pixels built into a traditional RGB sensor array, allowing it to record light and depth information simultaneously.
