Electronic enthusiasts eight o'clock: According to foreign media reports, it is said that Apple intends to deploy a rear-mounted 3D laser system customized for AR applications in the upcoming iPhone 8, and it can achieve faster and more accurate autofocus. Features.
According to a source familiar with the Apple program, Apple is developing a VSCEL laser system that is intended to be integrated into the new iPhone released this fall. It is said that this laser system is likely to be integrated into the rumored iPhone 8, and the industry generally expects that the iPhone 8 will be Apple's next-generation flagship smartphone.
In view of the rumors about the front camera, the latest news today claims that Apple will apply VSCEL technology to the rear camera. The system uses light pulses and time-of-flight detection data to calculate the distance to the target. This system can be used for very accurate depth mapping, which is very useful for AR applications.
Currently, Apple's ARKit uses the optical information provided by the iPhone's iSight camera to derive a variety of complex algorithms.
KGI Securities analyst Guo Minghao revealed in February that Apple intends to embed a 3D scanning subsystem in the iPhone front camera array. In addition to the traditional color RGB camera module, the system also integrates an infrared VSCEL transmitter and a professional receiver. Judging from today's report, Apple intends to do the same for the iSight camera.
Fast Company says the rear laser system also helps achieve faster, more accurate autofocus. Similar systems have been used in digital SLR cameras and compact cameras for many years and are now being promoted for use in devices such as smartphones.
Apple used to rely on third-party vendors such as Sony to provide camera modules. Recently, Apple introduced the "phase shift autofocus" function in the iPhone 6 series launched in 2014, which Apple called "Focus Pixels".
As for suppliers, Apple has signed a VCSEL laser supply agreement with optical and photonics manufacturer Lumentum, which will serve as the main supplier of the component; Finisar and II-VI will bear a small number of orders. The time-of-flight sensor is expected to be supplied by STMicroelectronics, Infineon or AMS. Like other important operating components, Apple can purchase parts from LG Innotek, STMicroelectronics, AMS or Foxconn.
Although this is a good thing for ARKit, it is the first time Apple has officially entered the AR field. It is expected that the 3D sensor may not be ready when it is released in 2017. Informed sources suggest that Apple engineers are working hard to integrate this component, but there is no guarantee that it will appear on the iPhone 8.
