What it does

The librealsense tool provides a cross-platform, open-source SDK for accessing Intel RealSense cameras, allowing developers to capture and process 3D data from the cameras.

Install / run

git clone https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense.git

When to use it

•When building applications that require 3D scanning or object recognition
•When developing projects that need depth sensing or tracking
•When creating augmented reality experiences that rely on 3D camera data

Quick start

1Build the librealsense library by running 'mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make'
2Install the librealsense library by running 'sudo make install'
3Verify the installation by running the 'realsense-viewer' example application
4Modify the 'realsense-viewer.cpp' example file to suit your specific use case
5Compile and run your modified example application using 'make' and './realsense-viewer'

Ready-to-paste prompt

Run 'realsense-viewer -i 0' to view the depth stream from the default camera

Heads up: Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed, including CMake, a C++ compiler, and the Intel RealSense camera firmware, as librealsense requires a specific version of the firmware to function correctly
