Hello everyone, I am Xiaomao from compatible with Jizhijia.
Yesterday, a blogger posted a blog to reveal the latest iPhone 12 Pro MAX protective case. According to the pictures it has been released, it can be seen that the rear lens module of the iPhone 12 Pro MAX will be equipped with three cameras. These three symmetrical holes are the cameras, and the small holes above may be flashes. The smallest hole on the right is a rear microphone opening. And the bottom opening is the mobile version of LiDAR lidar! Because it is a circle smaller than the LiDAR lidar on the iPad Pro 2020, it may be a little weaker than the iPad Pro 2020 in terms of related functions.
According to usual habits, the appearance and configuration of iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro MAX are basically the same, and iPhone 12 Pro MAX is just a big round. If nothing unexpected happens, both the iPhone 12 Pro and the iPhone 12 Pro MAX will be equipped with the above-mentioned LiDAR lidar.
Some players may not know very well what the function of LiDAR lidar is. Mavericks will talk to you today.
The current AR technology, that is, Augmented Reality augmented reality technology, mainly relies on the camera of the mobile phone to achieve the implementation of the technology. For example, games such as mobile games "Pokemon GO" and "Catch Monsters Together" rely on AR technology to achieve realistic gameplay. However, on mobile phones, the application field of AR is far more than games, and it can also play a good role when purchasing furniture and large household appliances. Place virtual furniture in your home to compare whether it is suitable, so you can choose the furniture that suits you more quickly.
However, relying solely on the 2-dimensional image of the camera to calculate the real scene is ultimately a bottleneck. Apple has equipped LiDAR lidar on iPad Pro 2020 to achieve 3D data acquisition.
LiDAR (LiDAR light detection and distance measurement) This advanced technology determines the distance by measuring the time it takes for light to touch an object and reflect it back. Even NASA will use it in this Mars landing mission. A specially made lidar scanner uses direct flight time (dToF) to measure light reflected from up to five meters in an indoor or outdoor environment.
Through this technology, devices equipped with lidar LiDAR can more accurately measure the 3D data of the current environment and build a more realistic virtual world based on this data. We can also make virtual furniture more reasonable import and comparison, and use virtual distance finder to be more accurate. It can be said that LiDAR lidar has upgraded mobile phone AR from visual algorithm measurement to physical measurement.
Although there are not many applications developed based on lidar LiDAR, Maverick believes that with Apple's influence, as long as lidar is fully equipped on the iPhone 12 Pro series, it will also bring a large software ecosystem. After all, the Apple Pencil was not favored by everyone back then, hasn't it become the biggest advantage of iPad at present?
