Lu believes that the triple-lens camera system will enable advanced 3D detecti by stereoscopic visi, with two of the sensors capable of capturing images of a single object. different angles. A method of triangulati would then be used to get the distance between the iPhone and the object.
Like the TrueDepth system the frt of the iPhone X, the report suggests that the rear 3D detecti will be used for augmented reality purposes. The forecast aligns with a report by Alex Webb of Bloomberg who said last year that future iPhones will be equipped with 3D detecti capabilities facing the back.
At the time, Webb reported that Apple was evaluating a flight time approach that calculates the time it takes for a laser to bounce off surrounding objects to create a 3D image of the aircraft. Envirment, but Lu think that Apple will instead use the approach to three lenses for the rear camera system.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly expressed his deep interest in augmented reality. Last year, Apple launched its ARKit platform, allowing developers to create augmented reality apps for iPhone and iPad iOS 11.
Meanwhile, the third lens would probably have a lger focal length for improved zoom capabilities, according to …
