How to use the LiDAR Scanner to assess someone's height on your iPhone 12 Pro

 


The iPhone 12 models boast a boatload of modifications that separate it from its predecessor. Although one of the most noticeable changes is the architecture, there are also other important factors. The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, for example, feature a LiDAR scanner on the back that allows you to create a depth map of the subject. This is not the only benefit you can obtain from the sensor, however, as it also does a lot of other cool things. On the iPhone 12 Pro models, you can now calculate someone's height using the LiDAR scanner.

Measure Height Using LiDAR Scanner on iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max - Quick Measures

A fantastic addition that makes supreme augmented reality capabilities is the LiDAR scanner on the iPhone 12 Pro models. Apart from this on the iPhone 12 Pro models, the LiDAR scanner will also let you calculate someone's height. According to Apple, you can also calculate the height of someone sitting. It is quite clear how the function works - it simply detects the person in the viewfinder and calculates their height from toes to head.

We'll let you know how you can measure someone's height on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max if you're not familiar with the process. For your convenience, we have compiled a series of step-by-step instructions that you can use to calculate the height of anyone without the need to bring a specific measuring tape. Here's how it should be handled.

Phase 1: On your iPhone 12 Pro or its larger version, the first thing you have to do is open the Measure app.

Phase 2: In the middle of the viewfinder, place the person whose height you want to calculate so that the head and toes are all within.

Step 3: Wait for a while and with the height calculation, a line will appear over the head of the person.

(The measurement is displayed in feet or inches, but can often be adjusted from Settings > Measurement > Measurement Units.)

Phase 4: To take a snapshot of the measurement, tap on the Shutter button.

Phase 5: Tap the screenshot located in the bottom left corner of the screen to save the reported measurement, tap Done, and then choose whether to save it in the Images or Files app.

(You can access the photo, depending on where you saved it through the Photos app or the Files app.

That's all you have to do to use the LiDAR scanner on your iPhone 12 or iPhone 12 Pro Max to calculate someone's height. On most iPhone models, although the measurement app is available, the feature only works with the latest iPhone 12 Pro models. This is due to the fact that the LiDAR scanner is only available on the iPhone 12 Pro and its 'Max' version. Besides this the feature is also available with a LiDAR scanner on the upcoming 2020 iPad Pro. Here is how the function is described by Apple.

This is all for now, folks. How did you like the new feature? Let us know in the comments.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
