Abstract

Embodiments address a concept for exchanging information between time-of-flight ranging devices. For example, a first time-of-flight camera has an illumination unit configured to transmit information to a second time-of-flight camera by modulating a light signal to be emitted in accordance with an information bearing signal. The second time-of-flight camera has a time-of-flight sensor configured to detect the information bearing signal included in the emitted light signal of the first time of flight camera.
