I want...
1) a thicker phone, so I can grab it without the grip feeling precarious, and because it has a super-sized battery that easily lasts ll day and all night.
2) 2 cameras, yes, but specifically for depth perception, because omg all the amazing programs I could write!
3) waterproof, cause I like pulling my phone out in the rain and I'm a klutz.
- dman 10y agoYep on phones and laptops both the thinness trend has gone too far. Battery life and thermals both suffer because of this. Would prefer a slight correction towards thicker phones / laptops that run longer and cooler.
- gkya 10y agoThat's become a race, so we're mostly hopeless.
- sigmar 10y ago2 cameras aren't enough for an accurate depth map though, right? I thought you need infrared.
- daveloyall 10y agoI've never heard of a single infrared camera being used for depth-finding... Are you thinking of some active scanning technology such as LIDAR? Or the infrared grid-of-dots projection that the kinect uses?
- JustUhThought 10y agoInfra-red cameras are used in the LeapMotion controllers. I don't think it is anything special about the spectrum however, coupled with Infra-red lights it's an easy way to cut down on the noise in the comtrollers field of view.
- falkenb0t 10y agoDepends but there are computer vision techniques for deriving depth from two or more calibrated cameras. It may not be super accurate but it is likely do-able.

I'm dreading the day my lame-o iPhone 5c with a slowly-dying screen becomes unusable, because it can go over 3 days without a charge provided I don't use the GPS. If I charge it at work Friday it'll usually still have ~40% charge Monday morning, having been unplugged all weekend. I barely even think about the battery level. Sign me up for thicker phones with a bigger battery. And no stupid, ugly, scratch-attracting camera bump on the back.
