The first is a single pixel range finder that seems rather nice but not applicable a bit expensive for what you get but the system is configurable so that can be forgiven I suppose.

The second unit is a 2D depth ranging system but is using a more conventional scanning laser but would provide the specified output for most applications. It also includes a vision sensor so can give a grey map and a depth map of the scene, a interesting product and at a reasonable price point.

It will serve for the air-keyboard use case I mention in earlier comment but not for another fringe application that needs a 2D sensor system. I envisaged a sensor that would be able to detect the distance from hundreds of objects that are sensed at the other end of a optical fibre bundle. Basically a distributed proximity sensing system that could be implemented in a glove or robot end effector to give it situational awareness and perhaps even pre-haptic feedback.
