We know that Apple has not only added three cameras IPhone 12 And 12 Pro Max, but these cameras are supported With LiDAR sensor, Which helps in improving the images greatly, and for more details about this sensor you can read our previous article via this link. Plus, the LiDAR sensor has another feature it can do, get to know it.


As a reminder, the term LiDAR stands for "Light Detection and Range" and works by bouncing lasers off objects in the scene to measure the distance, based on the time it takes for the light to return to the sensor. And the sensor itself is not a new technology, the iPad Pro 2020 also contains a LiDAR sensor, and the same technology is often used in self-driving cars.

Aim the back camera at a person standing or seated and make sure that their entire body, from head to toe, is shown within the frame.

◉ After a second or two, a line will appear over his head with an estimate of his height.

◉ You can take a picture with its own size and save it to your camera roll.

The measurement was fairly accurate. Curly hair, hats, and not standing straight may cause a slight imbalance.

You can get a rough estimate of the lengths of other things with the Measure app, too. You can use it to find the dimensions of a piece of furniture, so you can separate any argument between you and your friends about the dimensions of anything.


A lidar sensor isn't just about measuring the lengths of different objects. You can also use it to create XNUMXD room maps, or create a XNUMXD picture of a single object, which you can print on a XNUMXD printer using an app like polycam.

According to CNET, Apple Arcade's Hot Lava game uses the lidar sensor to scan a room, after which it can hide virtual objects behind real objects in that room.
