Two new [Intel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aspire-3d-15-spatiallabs) 'RealSense' cameras -- the D415 and D435 -- have been unveiled by the brand as a new way to incorporate [3D capabilities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/revopoint-trackit) into a project without the need for complicated equipment. Each of the cameras are able to process complex data in real-time, which will work effectively indoors, outdoors and at a variety of different ranges. This acknowledges the rising number of consumers who are partaking in [3D imaging projects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-3d-scanners) to ensure that they are always able to perform as required in different scenarios.

The D415 and D435 Intel 'RealSense' cameras are priced at $150 and $179 respectively, and are poised to help further push the industry forward by providing users with access to enhanced capabilities in a compact frame.
