Yes meaby you are right but it's in jpg format so it's a photo Good to know they are implementing the technology not only to one thing like gesture control. I bet this can be used I many different things.
yup, that will be the depth image for the app to allow touch to focus to work if it was on your phone.
You could use it on the original image if you wanted to be a bit more creative than just using the app.Use it as an alpha map with the lens blur effect in photoshop
