1. A depth camera, comprising: a point light source configured to emit a point of light; a raster scanning element configured to optically communicate with the point light source; logic configured to control the raster scanning element to raster scan the point of light from the point light source in a raster scanned pattern over a field of view of the depth camera, wherein only one point of the raster scanned pattern is projected in the field of view at any one time by the point light source; a light detector configured to receive reflected images of the raster scanned light from an object within the field of view, the reflected images including at least a portion of the raster scanned pattern; and logic configured to determine a distance from the depth camera to the object based on apparent deformation in the raster scanned pattern in the reflected images.
