These devices use LiDAR lasers to scan the environment around them, getting a more accurate picture of how the area is shaped and what objects they're near.

You've got a LiDAR scanner if you've got an iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, or an iPad Pro, but Apple doesn't appear to give you any way to use it. Here's how you can, what you need, and why ...

I'll be honest: I didn't know that an iPhone was able to do a lidar scan. (The iPhone 12 Pro, 13 Pro, and iPad Pro can all do it.) When I found out that my phone could, I became obsessed with ...

Lidar sensors add depth scanning for better photos and AR, but in future we could see mixed-reality headsets and more. Lidar is one of the iPhone and iPad Pro's coolest tricks: Here's what else it ...

Lidar is a well-known technology, used by everyone from ocean scientists at NOAA to self-driving car companies.Considered more accurate than radar, which uses radio waves to detect objects, Lidar ...

If you’ve got good eyesight, you can probably see a person’s general figure from around 300 meters (1000 feet). If you’re really keen, you may even tell some basic features of the face. But ...

Introduced a few years ago, the LiDAR scanner is available on the Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15, as well as the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2020 and later ...

LIDAR on a chip should be 1000 times cheaper and scan 1000 times faster to revolutionize self-driving cars, drones, and robots April 7, 2017 August 17, 2016 by Brian Wang DARPA and MIT are leading an ...

Spectrum-Scan LIDAR startup Baraja wants to knock the silly hat from the top of autonomous cars. Emerging into the light after several years in stealth mode, the Australian company is promising a ...

And today, in combination with modern technology like LiDAR, it’s allowing researchers to craft a 3D model of the famous shipwreck to study long after the wreckage itself has deteriorated.
