Embodiments related to acquiring depth images via a plurality of depth cameras are disclosed. For example, in one disclosed embodiment, a first portion of depth data is received from a first depth camera, and a second portion of depth data is received from a second depth camera. A gesture of a human subject sighted by the first and second depth cameras is detected in real time, based on combined data computed from the first and second portions of depth data. Input data indicative of the gesture is then provided to a computer system.

Multi-camera depth imaging

Embodiments are disclosed that relate to augmenting a lower resolution image with higher resolution image data. For example, one disclosed embodiment provides a method comprising imaging a scene with a first, lower resolution imaging device to form a first set of image data. The scene may also be imaged with a second, higher resolution imaging device to form a second set of image data. The method further comprises augmenting at least a portion of the first set of image data with at least a portion of the second set of image data to form an augmented image.
