Apple Prepares New 3D Camera Support with TOF Sensor for iPhone 2k19
Tech freaks
around the world are waiting for Apple to release 3D camera support for the
back camera in the upcoming iPhone in 2k19.
Speculations
are floating all around the corner after a news report at Bloomberg stated that
Apple might be including a new 3D back camera that would improve on the face
recognition feature introduced in previous variants of iPhone.
This was revealed in the context of Sony
rapidly producing high-tech camera chips that would provide next-generation 3D
sensors for various renowned smartphone manufacturers.
Various mobile
brands like Apple, Samsung and Huawei, have also shown interest in introducing
such 3D chips into their various flagship devices as such chips would enable 3D
camera operations on both front and back camera.
As various manufacturers’ previously availed
chips made by Sony in their devices, it is speculated that the new 3D chips are
also produced in mass scale for all its buyers. It would be fascinating to see
who has the desired potential to pull off such a latest tech and provide it to
their users in a reasonable price shift.
Satoshi
Yoshihara head of sensor division at Sony also indicated that 3D tech is on the
rise and it is quite profitable as well. He claimed that cameras had
revolutionised mobile phones and accordingly 3D cameras are going to bring a
breakthrough in upcoming 2k19. Therefore, Sony is prepared to boost its
production as the demand for 3D cameras would increase.
These new 3D
camera chips work on time of flight sensor as compared to its predecessors,
which worked on structured light method. The time of flight or (TOF) sensors
operates on simple phenomena of sending out laser pulses which are invisible to
naked eye and then measuring the time and distance that is required to bounce
back.
By measuring
the lasers time and distance a much more précis and in-depth 3D model can be
created which as compared to a structured light method can prove to be much
more accurate.
In the previous
iPhone X, iPhone XS all such variants did inculcate 3D cameras, but with new
TOS sensor the reliability on 3D cameras will boost and will make a
breakthrough in the mobile phone industry.
3D cameras are
not just bound to the much more accurate camera and picture quality, but it is
also believed to improve various other interactions. As improved interactions
would enhance various cellular games and apps which could provide with
augmented reality that Apple wants to offer its users.
