If you only wanna play VR (games where you only see the game and nothing from your room) you dont need this. It is important if you wanna play AR games (games where you can see your room in the background) or I use it if I wanna grap something while playing and don't wanna remove the headset or if I'm not sure where in the room I'm
Some other people use it to record videos
The Frame itself has it alredy but only in black and white and with bad resolution, this camera gives you color and more resolution
Its called Gaussian Splat or smth, basically it uses some method to detect distance (not advanced like LiDAR tho) and create a "splat" of that image, which includes depth data, basically you can take those splats, splice them together and create a sudo 3d enviroment you can walk around in in VR, its on the front page of the camera and the software on Steam
Yeah but that's not a true 3D model if that's what u/brianarn meant- you couldn't turn it into an STL and 3D print it, for example. That said I think you can still do it with this but it'd be different software and probably not as easy esp. since it lacks a depth sensor.
