The company PrimeSense created 3D image technology which is used in Kinect product of Microsoft.
The technology used by LinX is more advanced. It has the ability to create sensors using multiple lenses which help to take multiple photos at the same time. You can blend these images together to form a single image. You can also record the data from the distance using different sensors, by using sensor arrays, a 3D image can also be captured.
