Machines are moving beyond single-point sensing. Multi-sensor fusion now delivers vision, ranging and inertial data. The ...

Who wouldn’t want an autonomous drone to deliver cans of fizzy drink fresh from the fridge? [Alex Toussaint] did, and in thinking how such a machine might work he embarked on a path that eventually ...

Lidar sensors add depth scanning for better photos and AR, but in future we could see mixed-reality headsets and more. I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR ...

WASHINGTON — Our roads might one day be safer thanks to a completely new type of system that overcomes some of lidar’s limitations. Lidar, which uses pulsed lasers to map objects and scenes, helps ...

House-scanning app Canvas works with lidar on the iPhone 12 Pro, but also scans without it. The difference is accuracy. I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, ...

Sometimes the best you can say about a project is, “Nice start.” That’s the case for this as-yet awful DIY 3D scanner, which can serve both as a launching point for further development and a lesson in ...

One year ago, Qualcomm revealed the world’s first under-display ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, the 3D Sonic Sensor, which promised to accurately scan a fingertip in three dimensions despite ...

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 LiDAR ...

Sonair has closed a new funding round, led by Skyfall Ventures, to propel the robotics industry into a new era of sensing technology. The investment introduces a completely new category of sensors ...

To make the iPhone as capable as it is, Apple equipped it with several sensors. One of these is the LiDAR scanner. LiDAR — short for Light Detection and Ranging — is a sensor that essentially measures ...

"The future of optical technology lies in our ability to harness the power of light with unparalleled precision and efficiency," says Arshey Patadia, a leading figure in photonics whose work is ...
