Monocular depth estimation is very valuable for creating AR experiences in general-use devices such as smartphones. This is, in my opinion, the greatest value for such depth estimation algorithms.

Oh, binocular depth estimation is definitely a less technically challenging approach. I think the reasons they are pursuing monocular are due to what the other commenter said about cost and stuff.
