Intel has released open source software that enables developers to write stereoscopic vision-based applications.
Current software only allows computers to visualise on a flat plane, but Intel's Open Source Vision Library, gives computers a depth of field, so that it can run face-recognition systems, or interpret non-verbal communication.
In a statement, Justin Rattner, Intel director of microprocessor research, said: "Intel wants to make computers aware of the visual world... the lack of common tools kept this from happening.
"OpenCV 2.1 is certain to drive an explosion of vision-based applications, such as toys that respond to a child's movements and monitors that warn security people of life-threatening behaviour."
