Hi,

I've added a new use case to our wiki page for the Depth Camera extension.

UC5: Mobile Augmented Reality and Spatial Scanning
https://www.w3.org/wiki/Media_Capture_Depth_Stream_Extension#Use_Cases

I've been waiting for a tangible example of a mobile device with 
built-in depth support and now the new Project Tango from Google has 
provided just that http://www.google.com/atap/projecttango/

I think this adds even more justification for our proposal to support 
Depth Cameras.
