Thanks to the LiDAR Camera, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max will instantly calculate the height of someone

 



The iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max are the only two devices featuring not only a triple camera setup but also a LiDAR sensor intended for AR-related applications from Apple's lineup this year. This LiDAR device is more advanced than the sensor present on the 2020 iPad Pro, previous reports said, and that can only mean several opportunities for users to open up. If you don't have an inching tape on you for example, then one function that this LiDAR camera can serve is to calculate the height of someone. Let's take a look at how this is possible.

The LiDAR camera helps users to assess people's height when they are seated as well.

Although this may seem to be a gimmick at first glance, the LiDAR camera on the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will actually provide the user with some advantages and it will only be up to the developers to open up more possibilities in the future. For the moment, whether you want to assess someone's height easily when they're standing upright or sitting, the LiDAR camera on both models will do the job for you.

Next the Measure app, which runs on both the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max, will have to be fired up. The Measure app can detect an individual in the phone's viewfinder when aimed correctly and will measure their height automatically from the ground to the top of their head. You can take a screenshot of the individual with their height measurement with a circular shutter button on the bottom-right corner and you will be able to share the information with them.

It should be remembered, of course, that the feature is only present on the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max and iPad Pro 2020 versions. If you want to take advantage of a LiDAR sensor on a smartphone only, you will either have to buy it because only the iPhone 12 Pro is available, or wait patiently for the iPhone 12 Pro Max pre-orders to go live if you want Apple's best of the best.

If you didn't know, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is also the company's first to get support for the stabilization of sensor-shift images, but if you just want to calculate height, both models can also do it. Hopefully, as additional applications have support for it, we can see more uses of the LiDAR sensor arrive. For now, tell us in the comments how you like the first use-case down.

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.
