Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 1, wherein the depth information capture device comprises a Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) device and a mirror, the method further comprising rotating, by the drive train, the mirror about a second axis, and emitting, by the lidar device, a plurality of laser pulses to the mirror, the mirror, in turn, emitting the plurality of laser pulses in one or more revolutions about a substantially horizontal axis and receiving a corresponding plurality of reflected laser pulses, and the lidar device, in turn, receiving the plurality of reflected laser pulses and generating 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.
