Spatial location calculator

This example shows how to retrieve spatial location data (X,Y,Z) on a runtime configurable ROI. You can move the ROI using WASD keys. X,Y,Z coordinates are relative to the center of depth map.

setConfidenceThreshold - confidence threshold above which objects are detected
