martinthomson has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-depth: == Support a consistent measurement unit == We support i420 and RGB for video without burdening applications with the distinction between the two. In the browser itself, those two might be carried differently, but when they hit a screen or API, they are converted to a common form. It would appear that depth captures aren't consistent in the units they use. I can understand a representation that was expressed relative to the focal length or some other physical constraint if the intent is to preserve the maximum dynamic range over the 8 or 16 bits available to the encoding, but the spec already does that in terms of the near and far value. The near value and far value in particular could be expressed in metres. Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/mediacapture-depth/issues/113 using your GitHub account
