When ToF sensors gradually become the standard configuration of smartphones, multi-cameras are gradually emerging, which can be used for multi-scene recognition applications, such as front and rear lenses for gesture recognition or face 3D recognition for secure payment, and AR/VR is also the application direction of ToF in 3D perception.
In addition to its application in consumer electronics, ToF sensor also has prospects in other applications, and it also has potential in the field of Internet of Things. Judging from the current share of the ToF sensor market, following the smartphone and tablet market are the fields of building inspection, smart home, automotive central control, and drones.
In theory, the farthest detection distance of the ToF sensor can reach 10m, and the light source can be adjusted to switch the required distance flexibly. In addition, ToF sensors have obvious anti-interference ability and cost advantages.
Based on the characteristics and advantages of the above-mentioned ToF sensors, it is predicted that the ToF sensors can be widely used in the Internet of Things in the future, and are more suitable for the scene requirements of the Internet of Things, with greater flexibility.
