There are a couple of cameras that use either LED or Lasers to flash the object and then build a 3d scan of the object from the return.

- [Garmin LIDAR-Lite Optical Distance LED Sensor - V4](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4441)
- [Intel RealSense LiDAR Camera L515](https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1567318-REG/intel_82638l515g1prq_realsense_lidar_camera_l515.html)

Both of them have a rather limited range(under 10 meters) and it looks like this technology is mostly used in robotics or surveillance.
