# capturedDepthData

Depth data captured in front-camera experiences.

```
var capturedDepthData: AVDepthData? { get }
```

## Discussion

Frames vended by the session contain a depth map captured by the depth sensor in addition to the color pixel buffer (see [`capturedImage`](/documentation/ARKit/ARFrame/capturedImage)) captured by the color camera. The depth-sensing camera provides data at a different frame rate than the color camera, so this property’s value can be `nil` if no depth data was captured at the same time as the current color image.

This depth data is available only in face-based experiences (see [`ARFaceTrackingConfiguration`](/documentation/ARKit/ARFaceTrackingConfiguration)) using the device’s front TrueDepth camera. This property’s value is `nil` when running other AR configurations.
