Dell Venue 8 7000 series tablet launched in India for Rs. 34,999

The Dell Venue 8 7000 tablet was introduced at Intel Developer Forum in September last year, again the tablet was showcased at CES in January. Now the tablet has been launched in India.

At only 6 mm thin, the Dell Venue 8 7000  is the world’s thinnest tablet. It is also the first device to integrate Intel's depth sensing RealSense 3D camera technology which can be used for depth photography, 3D editing and precise measurements. 

The tablet has a tri-camera setup at the rear - an 8MP primary shooter and two auxiliary sensors.The three cameras create a high-definition depth map that enables measurement, refocus and apply selected filters with a touch of a finger. No matter where you focus your lens when you snap a picture, you can re-focus it afterward to highlight - or defocus - any section of the image.

The RealSense camera also allows you to measure length, width and height. For example, if you point the RealSense camera toward a furniture and click its photos, you can find out the dimensions. You can also find out the surface area of that wall that needs painting, or rearrange your living room and compare objects with true-to-life data.
