One camera can't really produce depth/distance information, but two cameras sure can. The eyes in your head don't capture distance information individually, but with two eyes you can infer distance.

You're forgetting the nervous system and the brain connected to those eyes (and vestibular system).

Why would you assume I "forgot" about any of that? It's implied. That's what "infer" means in that sentence. Of course it requires a brain and nervous system. Maybe you don't know what the word "infer" means?

That fake indignation doesn't change the fact that you equated two cameras with two eyes, and if we're going that hard on semantics, you used the word produce for the cameras.

This pointless conversation you created is over. If you get your jollies by intentionally misunderstanding comments and pointing out your miscomprehension, then you're talking to the wrong person. I really can't imagine what you think you're getting out of this interaction.
