iPhone Duo: continuous front-camera depth for measuring face distance
Hi, I’m building an app that counts push-ups with the phone on the floor. It currently uses ARKit and TrueDepth to measure the distance between the camera and the user’s face. I want to support iPhone Duo too, but I don’t have one. I only have an iPhone 17 Pro. I watched the camera presentation and saw that depth is supported when accessing the individual cameras. I’m trying to understand what that means for my app. Can either front camera provide continuous depth through AVCaptureDepthDataOutput, or is it only available when taking photos? Does it give actual distances in metres, or relative depth estimates? The face would usually be around 20 to 80 cm from the camera. Also, is there an equivalent camera mode on my iPhone 17 Pro that I could use to test the same approach, or would I need an actual Duo? It’s okay if counting is less accurate than with TrueDepth. I mainly need to detect the user moving down and back up reliably. Thank you!
