Re: I am confused. Anyone understand this new 3-D Facebook app?

So there are two images taken by the camera. I would need to see a diagram I guess. And the term "depth map" is new to me. Need to better understand it. I keep thinking of the Avatar movie where multiple cameras shot objects placed on the subjects to get a spatial profile which was then placed in a computer like a sort of clay model of the subject with pins on various targeted places on the clay model in spatial relationship which can be transferred to the final bronze casting ... Maybe I am getting at least closer to the concept.  Thanks for the help,to all who replied.
