Using Time-of-Flight (ToF) principle, ST has developed and patented its own technology, FlightSense, to propose new generation of high-accuracy proximity sensors.
Combining three optical elements in a single compact package, the VL6180 is the first member of ST's FlightSense family and uses a new optical-sensing technology that enables innovative new user interactions with smartphones.Julien Happichproximity sensor, infrared, optical-sensing...
One of the lesser-known stories of mobile phone evolution is the development of proximity sensing in order to save power and disable touch screen functions when the phone is actually being used as a phone.
New from Lumentum and Ambarella, Vision-D combines Lumentum’s flood illuminator module for extremely accurate time-of-flight 3D sensing, with Ambarella’s CV22 edge AI system-on-chip
Modern smartphones have in-display fingerprint sensors, LiDAR, better and bigger camera sensors than ever, and on some devices, even Time of Flight (ToF) sensors. But out of all the different sensors you'll see on your phone, the ToF sensor strikes out, mostly because it affects the thing...
STMicroelectronics has further enhanced its leadership in Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensors with the second generation of its FlightSense™ technology, now available in the new VL53L0X laser-ranging sensor. The VL53L0X extends the ToF measurement range to two meters, and is accurate to with...
TDK’s ultrasonic Time-of-Flight(ToF) sensors utilize a compact ultrasonic transducer to send out an ultrasonic pulse, and then listen for echoes returning from targets in the sensor’s field-of-view(FoV). The built-in processing unit calculates the time
The overall time-of-flight (ToF) sensor market is expected to grow from USD 2.8 billion in 2020 toUSD 6.9 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 20.0%. The growth of this market is mainly driven by the increasing demand for ToF sensors from automotive industry and growing adoption of 3D cameras...
The iPhones launching in 2020 may feature a Time of Flight sensor, which helps determine distances between objects and the lens.
Time-of-Flight principle: a method to measure distance based on time difference between emission of a signal and its return to the sensor
