Luxonis vs. RealSense: Which depth camera should I choose?

Depth cameras are essential for developing autonomous mobile robots, they give them the capacity to see, understand, interact and learn from their environment. They function a little like our own eyes, being able to differentiate between different shapes, colours, movements and depths. These stereo cameras work both indoors and out, regardless of lighting conditions. But[…]
