Although the ToF mobile phones that have been launched have many functions, such as the Meitu function, which can further optimize the depth of field effect of the mobile phone, the "3D modeling" function can realize body shape measurement, AR etc.In fact, in addition to smart phones, ToF sensor have broader application markets, including smart driving, robots, smart homes, smart TVs, smart security, and VR/AR. At present, the application of ToF technology is still in these fields.
The 5G era promotes the application of the Internet of Things, which brings about the demand for three-dimensional perception capabilities of various smart devices. ToF sensor will become the mainstream 3D sensing solution with its cost advantages and excellent real-time perception capabilities. Especially in the VR/AR application field, there are high requirements for time delay to avoid dizziness. ToF sensor is the relatively most suitable spatial positioning technology.
In automotive applications, ToF sensor can be used for gesture recognition, driver status monitoring in the car, and object detection outside the car. In the field of industrial logistics applications, tof sensor can be used to collect three-dimensional information of packages and directly calculate the volume of different packages, thereby reducing labor costs; in addition, tof sensor also be used in obstacle avoidance systems, such as vacuum robot, and is not sensitive to light conditions. The advantages can be used for outdoor long-distance applications, such as logistics robots, guided robots, etc.
