iPhone 8 3D Laser Scan. There are rumors that “iPhone 8” will have 3D laser scanning module. Which makes a lot of heartful doubts in security. A report attempts to dig deeper into the subject, including which iPhone model will have component and when it might appear on.
JP Morgan analyst Rod Hall have words that it is convinced that the “iPhone 8” sensor used this year is designed to support facial scans, not just exclusively or specifically for enhanced reality applications.
Apple ‘s Touch ID sensor error rate is only one in fifty thousand. Hall says that the laser-based 3D sensor is more accurate. You can further optimize by using the very secure Touch ID.
3D sensors require several key elements: optical transmitters in the form of LEDs or laser diodes; optical filters for noise-free scanning; fast image sensors with powerful signal processors. Each aspect of the implementation have some difficulties. Hall says that Apple has and subsidiary Prime sense develops a relatively low 3D sensor. Which is not more than 3% of iPhone costs.
iPhone 8 3D Laser Scan For AR and VR Only?
The technique is similar to the mini version of the LIDAR (lidar) mapper or range finder.
At present, many natural science research uses LIDAR. However military and ordinance navigation kit have extensive use of LIDAR. Resolution and accuracy depend largely on the combination of various factors. The most important of which is the integration of the laser and the sensor (which may also be the reason Apple acquired Primesense).
iPhone 8 3D Laser Scan for face recognition.
The application of this technology is not only the face recognition. Potential APIs can open other more uses. Such as enhanced reality and virtual reality head, dress size adjustment, accurate distance measurement for house repairs. With this technology you can have 3D print scanning, HomeKit integration, and other applications that require precise volume scanning or ranging.
