NEWS:
• Apple iPhone 2019 to sport 3D camera with TOF sensor, hints new report:
• Apple’s iPhone in 2019 or iPhone XI, could come with a 3D camera at the back, indicates a new report from Bloomberg. Rival Huawei, which is the number two smartphone manufacturer in the world, could also adopt something similar.
• Sony is already supplying camera sensors to Apple, Google, Samsung, etc., but this generation of camera chips will power both the front and rear 3D cameras.
• “Cameras revolutionized phones, and based on what I’ve seen, I have the same expectation for 3D…The pace will vary by field, but we’re definitely going to see adoption of 3D. I’m certain of it,” Yoshihara was quoted as saying.
• Sony’s 3D camera will use the time of flight approach, which “sends out invisible laser pulses and measures how long they take to bounce back,” said Yoshihara. these will allow for more detailed and accurate 3D models.
• Apple’s iPhone X, iPhone XS, iPhone XR already have a 3D front camera with the TrueDepth camera, which relies on structured light method to create the 3D models of the user’s and recognize it in the Face ID feature.
• The 3D Sensor Market is Growing Rapidly Due To Increasing Application in Consumer Electronics, Automobiles and Healthcare Industry
One of the main driving factors of 3D sensor market is the rising use of 3D sensor in electronic gadgets and appliances. STMicroelectronics, which supplies Apple and a number of other smartphone manufacturers with its FlightSense sensors, has delivered more than 300 million TOF chips, technology in personal mobile handset, automotive, healthcare and retail. Sony Corp., which has 49% of the market for image sensors, is developing new TOF (Time of Flight) sensors that are smaller than today’s sensors, and can sense depth at greater distances. The extensive use of 3D sensor can be found out according to the company. These sensors are useful for applications such as drones, augmented-reality applications, and industrial applications.
3D sensor has the ability to combine their functions with other sensor types. The availability of highly efficient processors and software has permitted this sensor data fusion, which integrates input from multiple sensors and processes the data in real time enabling the device to have near human like sensing abilities which increases the demand of this product. However, applications for full-sized 3D sensors are not limited to smartphones or other consumer devices; the technology can be used for any type of 3D scanning in which an object must be mapped with precision. Other than smart phone it is also used in 3D printing, design mapping, object recognition, facial recognition, gesture-based control etc. The lack of human expertise for handling 3D sensor technology is restraining the market.
