1. A system comprising:
an image and depth capture device comprising:
a first motor;
an image capture device configured to capture, while pointed in a first direction within an environment, a first plurality of images within a field of view of the image capture device;
a depth information capture device;
a first motor configured to rotate the depth information capture device and the image capture device about a first axis until the image capture device is pointed in a second direction, the depth information capture device configured to capture depth information of a first portion of the environment while being rotated, a first portion of the environment,
the image capture device further configured to capture, while pointed in the second direction within the environment, a second plurality of images that at least partially overlaps one or more of the first plurality of images,
the first motor further configured to rotate the depth information capture device and the image capture device about the first axis until the image capture device is pointed in a third direction, the depth information capture device further configured to capture depth information of a second portion of the environment while being rotated,
the image capture device further configured to capture, while pointing at the third direction a third plurality of images that at least partially overlaps one or more of the second plurality of images; and
a processor configured to associate depth information for the first, second, and third portion of the environment with numerical coordinates that identify a location of the depth information generated therefrom, the association being based on a distance between a no-parallax axis and the depth information capture device.
