After Apple announced the latest version of its iPad tablet, it was muttering on two cameras and another sensor, and many believed that it was a camera sensor differently, but in reality it is not intended for photography but has another function that we will learn about in this new topic, so continue With me.
This sensor is called Lidar, and it is a technique used to measure distances by launching a laser and analyzing reflected light, a technique that appeared since the sixties but had not been used in a phone or tablet before the new iPad appeared, and we will see it in the iPhone 12 during September this year, the question that will come to your mind right now is what will this sensor benefit me?
The uses of this sensor will target the field of augmented reality more than photography. Currently, major companies such as Google and Microsoft, as well as Apple, are starting to develop augmented reality, Google has launched an ARcore application, and Apple has added this sensor that will eliminate errors that occur during the use of augmented reality applications , And one of the other advantages that this sensor will offer you is that after entering an augmented reality application, you will not need to do a survey of the area in which you will be able to use it directly after entering it.
Currently there are not many powerful applications in the field of augmented reality, but with this development in the hardware we must see more advanced applications in the near future.
