Since smartphones came into our lives, our habits have changed. Especially with the advancement of technology, smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives. The phones that we used to talk only in the first place have now become a part of our lives in many different areas.
We use our smartphones in many different ways, both in business and social life. Especially the camera of our phones is very important to us. With recent studies and new technologies, the importance of cameras may increase even more.
Smartphone cameras get 3D functionality!
Researchers at Stanford University have taken a new step that allows standard image sensors to see light in 3D. With the new technology, cameras will be able to measure the distance to objects and three-dimensional imaging can be done on smartphones.
Measuring distance between objects is currently only special and expensive It is possible with lidar (light detection and distance determination) systems. Lidar can be described as a technology that uses laser light to measure the distance of objects with a measuring instrument, in the simplest terms. With the help of this technology, we can calculate how far the object is, how fast it is moving, whether it is approaching or moving away, and whether the paths of two moving objects will intersect.
Stanford researchers believe this system could be used more widely with megapixel resolution Lidar. It is stated that the higher resolution will allow Lidar to identify targets in a wider range.
Apple uses Lidar technology in the current iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max models. Stanford University researchers explained that lidar solutions are less expensive to implement than those used by Apple and can be installed on a wider range of phones.
3D technology brings innovation in many areas
3D images collected by smartphones can provide detailed analysis and improvements in various industries. Sports, fitness and health are among the areas where 3D technology can be effective. At the same time, it should be noted that a phone with a 3D camera can be much safer. Today’s face recognition technology can reach very different dimensions when combined with 3D technology.
