9. Fact or detail: The ZCam sends out beams of infrared light that bounce off a person standing in front of it. And then, when the light returns to the camera, an electro optical shutter quickly pulls in just enough of it to make out the actions of the person withtout capturing background images. By using this radar-like process, the camera can distinguish depth by measuring the brightness levels.
