Last week, Apple released the open-source version of its new model, DepthPro! This technology promises to transform computer vision tasks, especially in depth estimation.

What is Depth Estimation?
Imagine looking at a photo and being able to accurately gauge the distance between objects.

DepthPro does just that. By analysing images, it can determine how far away objects are, from trees in a park to cars on a road.

Real-time uses of Depth Estimation:
Self-Driving Cars: Accurate depth estimation is crucial for autonomous vehicles to navigate safely and avoid obstacles.
Virtual Reality: DepthPro can enhance VR experiences by creating more immersive 3D environments.

Even Portrait Mode on feature rely on depth estimation to create beautiful bokeh effects.

The results were promising when I tried this locally on my machine. This could be Apple's steps towards improving its VR / Vision Pro ecosystem.
