Laser distance or displacement sensors use timeof-flight sensing to handle the positioning monitoring process. Time of flight (TOF) measures the time needed for a burst of laser light to travel from ...

If you need to measure a distance, it is tempting to reach for the ubiquitous ultrasonic module like an HC-SR04. These work well, and they are reasonably easy to use. However, they aren’t without ...

You can do all kinds of wonderful things with cameras and image recognition. However, sometimes spatial data is useful, too. As [madmcu] demonstrates, you can use depth data from a time-of-flight ...

CMOS image sensors have become a cornerstone of modern imaging, leveraging the advantages of low power consumption, high speed, and scalability inherent in complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor ...

The time of flight sensor may be one of the more interesting points of the Quest 3 teardown. That depth sensor enables the Quest 3's fantastic AR and passthrough capabilities. With previous Meta Quest ...
