Three dimensional (3D) technology is a momentous scientific breakthrough. It is a depth-sensing technology that augments camera capabilities for facial and object recognition. The process of capturing a real-world object’s length, width, and height with more clarity and in-depth detail than can be achieved using a number of different technologies. 3D technology delivers unique advancements in the way day-to-day activities are perceived and approached.
3D is a real game-changer as manufacturers scramble to incorporate these new advancements into consumer products such as mobile phones. 3D sensing technology mimics the human visual system using optical technology, which facilitates the emergence and integration of augmented reality, AI (Artificial Intelligence), and the Internet of Things (IoT). This creates unique opportunities in consumer applications.
3D Sensing key technologies driving advancement
Many of the key technologies driving the advancement of 3D sensing have their pros and cons. Designing these new systems involve developing high-quality sensors and efficient algorithms that can leverage new and existing technologies.
For example, Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) are becoming the dominant light source technology for 3D sensing and can replace LEDs or edge-emitting laser diodes, as they are simple, have a narrow spectrum, and a stable temperature. Stereoscopic vision, structured light pattern, and time of flight are three technologies used for 3D sensing.
