All of these samples can be found on the [StereoLabs GitHub page](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk). > **Tip** > > If you need assistance with building the examples, you can refer to the [API Language section](/docs/development/api-languages) of the documentation for detailed instructions on how to set up your development environment. If you haven't already, we recommend checking out our [tutorials](/docs/tutorials) first. These resources can provide valuable information to help you get started with the ZED SDK. | Sample | Description | Link | | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [**Camera Control**](/docs/samples/camera-control) | Adjust video settings (brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, sharpness, gamma, gain, exposure, white balance, LED) and display the resulting image. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/camera%20control) | | [**Camera Streaming**](/docs/samples/camera-streaming) | Stream ZED video over the network (single or multiple senders, a receiver, encoded passthrough, and H.264 record-while-send) for remote viewing or processing. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/camera%20streaming) | | [**Depth Sensing**](/docs/samples/depth-sensing) | Extract and visualize depth maps and point clouds, with variants for multi-camera capture, region of interest, image refocus, custom depth ingestion, and fusion. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/depth%20sensing) | | [**Positional Tracking**](/docs/samples/positional-tracking) | Display the live position and orientation of the camera in a 3D window, and export tracking data to FBX. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/positional%20tracking) | | [**Object Detection**](/docs/samples/object-detection) | Detect and track objects in 3D: bird's-eye and image viewers, concurrent detection with body tracking, custom detectors (YOLO/Ultralytics), and multi-camera fusion. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/object%20detection) | | [**Body Tracking**](/docs/samples/body-tracking) | Detect and track 3D human body skeletons, export the data to FBX/JSON, integrate with Unity/Unreal Engine, or fuse multiple cameras for whole-space tracking. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/body%20tracking) | | [**Spatial Mapping**](/docs/samples/spatial-mapping) | Capture a live 3D mesh or fused point cloud of the environment, with a multi-camera fusion variant for larger spaces. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/spatial%20mapping) | | [**Plane Detection**](/docs/samples/plane-detection) | Detect the floor plane and arbitrary planar surfaces in the scene, either automatically or via hit-testing. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/plane%20detection) | | [**Recording**](/docs/samples/recording) | Record and play back SVO files (single or multi-camera, with external/sensor data) and export SVO content to common video, image and sensor file formats. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/recording) | | [**Global Localization**](/docs/samples/global-localization) | Fuse a real GNSS receiver with the camera's visual-inertial odometry for global-scale localization, with live, recording, playback and map-server samples. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/global%20localization) | | [**Sensors API**](/docs/samples/sensors-api) | Manage multiple ZED cameras, ZED X One cameras and LiDARs through a single unified API, live or from recordings, with an interactive multi-sensor placement/calibration tool. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/sensors_api) | | [**Virtual Stereo**](/docs/samples/virtual-stereo) | Pair two ZED X One monocular cameras into a calibrated virtual stereo rig to compute depth from two independent mono sensors. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/virtual%20stereo) | | [**ZED X One**](/docs/samples/zed-x-one) | Capture, stream, record and run AI inference with the ZED X One monocular camera. | [GitHub](https://github.com/stereolabs/zed-sdk/tree/master/zed%20one) | ## Docs -
