The DFRobot 3D ToF Depth Sensor Camera combines a Time-of-Flight depth sensor with a built-in 1.14-inch color LCD, allowing real-time depth visualization without connecting to a host screen. Via USB-C, it simultaneously streams raw depth data to a PC, Raspberry Pi, or Jetson for processing with the included Python SDK. With a minimum detection range of just 10cm, it excels at close-range proximity sensing, gesture detection, and short-range obstacle awareness where standard ToF sensors cannot perform. Specifications Depth Sensor: Time-of-Flight (ToF) Depth Range: 0.1m to 5m (typical) Depth Resolution: 320×240 QVGA depth pixels Display: 1.14-inch color LCD (real-time depth visualization) Interface: USB Type-C Frame Rate: Up to 30fps Output: Depth map, distance data, pseudo-color visualization Compatibility: Windows, Linux, Raspberry Pi, Jetson SDK: Python SDK + open-source library Power: USB-C powered (5V) Key Features Built-in 1.14-inch LCD shows depth visualization in real time — no host screen required Compact standalone operation for field testing Short-range depth detection from 10cm — ideal for close-up obstacle sensing USB-C interface for modern plug-and-play connectivity Python SDK for easy integration with custom applications Pseudo-color depth output maps distance to color for visual interpretation Works with Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, and any USB-C host Ideal for gesture detection, proximity sensing, and indoor navigation Applications Indoor robot obstacle detection and avoidance Gesture recognition and touchless interface control Short-range proximity measurement for automation 3D depth visualization and educational demonstrations People counting and occupancy detection Shelf and inventory monitoring systems Drone altitude hold and ground sensing STEM depth sensing experiments Package Includes 1x DFRobot 3D ToF Depth Sensor Camera with 1.14-inch LCD 1x USB-C cable Note: Python SDK and sample code available on DFRobot Wiki FAQ Q: Do I need a monitor to use this camera? A: No — the 1.14-inch LCD displays the depth map in real time. Connect via USB-C for data output to a host computer. Q: What is the minimum detection range? A: Approximately 10cm — much shorter than typical ToF cameras, useful for close-range sensing. Q: Can I get raw depth values in Python? A: Yes — the Python SDK provides frame-by-frame depth arrays in millimeters. Q: Does it work outdoors? A: Performance degrades in direct sunlight due to IR interference. Use indoors or in shaded environments. Q: Is the LCD real-time? A: Yes — the LCD shows a real-time pseudo-color depth map while USB simultaneously streams raw depth data.
