- RealSense significantly improved close-range depth: D401/D405 now supports minimum depths down to 2cm, and D43x/45x series reaches 12cm.
- The update integrates transparently into the existing SDK pipeline and runs natively on D500 series hardware, targeting grasping, tiny-object measurement, and proximity sensing.
- A Day 1 challenge invites creative close-range depth projects using Perception Studio, with a RealSense D421 as prize.
