China’s Vivo Unveils Time-of-Flight 3D Sensor That Rivals iPhone X’s TrueDepth Camera
The sensor is capable of mapping objects within three meters, which positions the sensor to compete with the iPhone X's TrueDepth camera, as opposed to the room-scale capabilities of Google's Tango sensors as far as depth sensors for mobile devices are concerned.
Vivo actually surpasses Apple in specs, as Vivo's sensor is capable of mapping 300,000 feature points, compared to 30,000 points that TrueDepth captures.
"From last year's debut of In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology, the recent launch of the truly bezel-less Vivo NEX, to our groundbreaking ToF 3D sensing technology, we continue to forge ahead and evolve towards the truly intelligent future by opening new ways for the AI to help the consumer," said Alex Feng, senior vice president of Vivo, in a statement. "By combining ToF 3D sensing technology with AI, we will continue to explore new possibilities for a better future."
