Intel's RealSense Stereo Depth Cameras, despite their reliability and the simplicity of stereo technology, have struggled to gain traction in the consumer market. This may be due to competition from more advanced technologies such as Time of Flight (ToF) and LIDAR, which have been more successful in compact consumer applications. Comments suggest that stereo 3D is primarily used in hobbyist 3D scanning and some industrial machine vision applications, with limited presence in the AR/VR space compared to ToF. Recent history indicates that Intel has faced challenges in this sector, especially after discontinuing their LIDAR RealSense cameras due to lack of success.
