"The future of optical technology lies in our ability to harness the power of light with unparalleled precision and efficiency," says Arshey Patadia, a leading figure in photonics whose work is ...

Intelligent optical sensing systems that integrate wavefront control with adaptive responses are emerging as key enablers for next-generation LiDAR technologies. Scientist in China developed a ...

A new system represents the first time that the capabilities of conventional beam-scanning lidar systems have been combined with those of a newer 3D approach known as flash lidar. The nonmechanical 3D ...

Lidar sensors add depth scanning for better photos and AR, but in future we could see mixed-reality headsets and more. I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, VR/AR ...

Retrofit projects are often very time-consuming, both for the engineers who must take numerous field measurements to produce drawings and for the contractor that must fabricate each assembly on site.

House-scanning app Canvas works with lidar on the iPhone 12 Pro, but also scans without it. The difference is accuracy. I started with CNET reviewing laptops in 2009. Now I explore wearable tech, ...
