"This feature provides a few key benefits. First, LiDAR helps the camera take sharper photos, particularly in dark conditions. Second, the scanner taps into AR, or augmented reality, to combine the real and virtual worlds, acting as an AR virtual tape measure, showing you how new furniture would look in your home, scanning and recreating 3D models, or immersing you in AR games."
"Introduced a few years ago, the LiDAR scanner is available on the Pro and Pro Max models of the iPhone 12 and higher, as well as the 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2020 and later. Nestled among the rear cameras, the scanner can detect objects up to 5 meters, or 16.5 feet. 1. Take a photo in the dark Snapping a sharp photo with your iPhone can be challenging in low-light situations."
LiDAR on recent iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models emits laser pulses to measure distances of surrounding objects up to about 5 meters. LiDAR improves autofocus performance in low-light, enabling the camera to focus substantially faster. The scanner enables augmented reality features such as virtual tape measuring, furniture previewing, 3D model scanning and AR gaming. The Measure app uses LiDAR to place start and end points on screen to capture distances. LiDAR resides next to rear cameras on Pro and Pro Max iPhone models and on 11-inch and 12.9-inch iPad Pro models from 2020 onward.
