Abstract
A mobile device, which comprises a monoscopic three-dimensional (3D) video generation device, one or more depth sensors and one or more devices operable to determine distance, may be operable to capture two-dimensional (2D) video image data and corresponding depth information of surroundings of the mobile device. The mobile device may capture distance information via the one or more devices operable to determine distance. A 3D map may be rendered by the mobile device utilizing the captured 2D video image data, the captured corresponding depth information and/or the captured distance information. The monoscopic 3D video generation device may comprise one or more image sensors. The one or more devices operable to determine distance may comprise an optical and/or electromagnetic emitting device. The 3D map may be generated by the mobile device. The 3D map may also be generated by the mobile device based on information received from a location server.
