This is what allows the camera to “see” the picture at two angles as the human eye to gauge depth. Further, in the case involving technology computer vision, machine learning, neural networks, etc. They analyze the image and separates the main object from the background, blurring the last. Over time, the system should learn and get the effect will be better. This function works with both primary and front camera.
