Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Steep learning curve for non-C++ developers

   The library is primarily developed in C++, which may be challenging for developers familiar with other languages like Python or Java.

2. 02

   Limited documentation and community support

   While it's an open-source project, the documentation lacks depth and there are few active contributors to provide timely assistance on forums and issues.

3. 03

   Performance overhead for real-time applications

   The library is optimized for high-quality 3D reconstruction but may introduce significant computational delays, making it less suitable for real-time or interactive use cases.

4. 04

   Complex setup and configuration process

   Setting up the environment requires a detailed understanding of dependencies and configurations, which can be time-consuming and error-prone.
