Claim 19:
20. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein the depth information capture device comprises a Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) device, and mirror, wherein the mirror is rotated by the drive train about a second axis while the lidar device emits a plurality of laser pulses to the mirror, the mirror, in turn, emits the plurality of laser pulses in one or more revolutions about a substantially horizontal axis and receives a corresponding plurality of reflected laser pulses, the lidar device, in turn, receives the plurality of reflected laser pulses and generates the depth information therefrom, so that as the image capture device and the lidar device are rotated by the drive train about the first axis and the mirror is rotated by the drive train about the second axis, the lidar device captures the depth information in three dimensions for the 360-degree scene.
