From the video:"Structure works by capturing a pattern of invisible, laser projected light, which allows you to measure thousands of distances, all at once."
That's a little misleading. The structured light pattern is indeed generated by a laser, but the distances being measured are not distances to the object, they're displacements of a structured pattern (eg, predictable dots) seen on the object with an infrared camera.
